French actor and director Dany Boon was involved in a road accident on Monday, May 5, 2025, on the A4 highway near Varize, close to Metz. The exact circumstances of the accident are not yet known.
On Monday, May 5, while returning from a family outing to Europa-Park in Germany, Dany Boon was involved in a road accident on the A4 highway near Varize (Moselle), according to the local newspaper Le Républicain Lorrain.
The comedian and actor was alone in his vehicle when he collided with another car. He was taken to Mercy Hospital in Metz, along with the other individuals involved. All sustained minor injuries.
Emergency services responded quickly: firefighters from Boulay and highway police took care of the injured. According to a source quoted anonymously by Le Républicain Lorrain, “Dany Boon was attended to by the firefighters and transported to Metz-Mercy Hospital for check-up exams. He was alone in the car. Everyone is fine.” The actor even took the time to sign autographs for his rescuers.
Dany Boon, father of five children from three different relationships, was in Germany for a family outing. He is the father of Mehdi (27), Noé (26), Eytan (19), Elia (18), and Sarah (14).
Although he was previously married to Sophie Hermelin, Judith Godrèche, and Yaël Harris, he had a multi-year relationship with actress Laurence Arné, which has since ended. She recently told La Tribune du Dimanche: “One must be careful not to sacrifice oneself and forget personal fulfillment.”
Dany Boon’s health is not a cause for concern. The actor is expected to resume his activities soon after this minor incident.
