(FILES) Portrait taken on April 7, 1983 shows French racing driver Paul Belmondo, in his racing suit, at the wheel of his car during F3 testing at the Paul Ricard circuit in Le Castellet. His father always thought he was made for comedy rather than Formula 1: at 63, after thirty years behind the wheel and in the paddocks of the major circuits, Paul Belmondo admits in an interview with AFP that "The Ace of Aces" was right. "Today, my desires are in the theatre!" confides Jean-Paul Belmondo's son. "Because of the danger, the job of a racing driver worried my father. And somehow, he surely wanted me to follow in his footsteps," adds Paul Belmondo. (Photo by Georges GOBET / AFP via Getty Images)
