René-Charles appreciation thread

[scielle]

These pictures seem to be from yesterday as well. Looks like they came from snapchat or something. Did RC always wear glasses(and I am just completely out of the loop) or is this new?

I think the glasses are a relatively new thing. Suits him though! But I've got to say, he looks way older than 16.

In fact, in these recent pics, especially in this one below, he looks a lot like my little brother! (Except my bro is more blond and 20! But otherwise, uncanny resemblance, haha.)

Remember that brother and sister team who cycled from Las Vegas to Montreal this summer, raising money for cancer research in honour of Rene?

(Their site is here: http://www.lasvegasmontreal.com, and a CBC Radio piece about the project is here: http://www.cbc.ca/pl...play/2692295674)

 

Well, it seems they sent RC a commemorative T-shirt recently (which you can buy on their site, with proceeds going to http://www.lavoixdelaguerison.com/)

 

And then yesterday, someone ran into RC in a parking lot in Irvine, CA (he's there for a hockey tournament), and he was wearing their T-shirt! How cool!

But also...how crazy that people recognize RC in shopping mall parking lots?!

Kid is handling all the attention with aplomb, it would seem.

 

He loves that necklace. Isn't it the same one he wore on the Christmas picture?

When looking at the Christmas picture I did wonder what kind of necklace he was wearing.. but there you have it, a hockey necklace

[scielle]

Can you believe this little tyke is 16?

 

 

And that, judging by his IG, he seems to be checking out boarding schools in New England?!

I can't imagine Celine letting him move that far away already... But then again, I suspect if he really wanted to go to a hockey prep school she'd support his dream as much as Maman Dion supported hers.

 

In any case - happy birthday RC!

I think Anne-Marie (Rene's daughter) went to school in New England as a teen. I seem to recall that she was in school in Massachusetts around the time of Celine's wedding in '94, when Anne-Marie would have been 17. I'm not sure I'm remembering that right, but wonder if there's any connection.

 

Happy birthday, RC!

Oh really? Interesting. Didn't know.

 

Sooo is he getting the traditional Sweet 16 gift? Or is Celine to freaked out about him driving?

[scielle]

And also - awwww.

 

 

[chocolatechip15]

I found the reference that I remembered -- the 7 Jours commemorative album from their wedding has a page on Anne-Marie, and she says "Comme j'etudie a Boston et que mon pere est souvent a l'etranger, je n'ai pas souvent la chance et le bonheur d'etre avec lui." ("Because I study in Boston, and my father is often abroad, I don't often have the chance and the happiness to be with him.") She was born on 6.12.77, and would only have been 17 at the time of the wedding, not turning 18 until the next summer. At that age, you'd usually be a high school senior -- in the US, at least -- so unless they start college earlier in Canada or she skipped a grade, I assume it was some sort of boarding high school in Boston.

I wonder what Anne Marie studied while she was in school? I would be really curious if anyone knows that answer?

 

I also want to give a quick shout out to RC while I have the chance. I came to the forum a little late tonight, but Happy 16th birthday RC!

[isabel leite]

I loved what she wrote to RC when she posted the pictures. I was very touched that she wrote 'Mom and Dad ' (I am sure Rene must be very very proud of his family)

Hi sorry to bother you. Do you know where or how I can find this 7 Jours commemorative album from their wedding ? I would really love to see it! It must be great. Tks

Well, if she was studying as a high schooler, she shouldn't have been studying anything too specific...unless she also went there for college! If I'm not mistaken, she went there for high school at a boarding school, so that would have just been general studies

I think that Céline gave RC a FERRARI for his Sweet 16!!

 

One of his friends posted both a video of him playing basketball at Célines house last night and sitting in a Ferrari in the garage that I assume is at Célines house.

[flutefreak]

I thought I read somewhere several years ago that Celine gave Rene a Ferrari for fathers day once. Does anyone know anything about this?I could be totally wrong.

Based on her comments last summer (I can't remember what the name of the programme was, it was the one she co-presented in New York), she didn't even want him to start driving at 16, would be interesting if she has now bought him a ferrari.

[angelil78]

I think it's something all mothers say, they are afraid that their 16 year old is going into traffic. I'd like to see the age higher actually.

When Celine made those comments about how she thinks 16 years old's shouldn't drive, I get the feeling she wasn't referring to RC in particular. I think she was speaking more towards the average 16 year old's out there. Just by the way she said it, she said that she wasn't speaking for all 16 year old's, but for most of them.

 

I think Celine knows that RC could handle himself on the road. RC has traveled the world and has a lot more world experience then the average teen out there. Celine even said recently that she is a submissive parent and allows RC to do what he wants, as long and she knows where he is and knows that he is safe. Celine knows that RC has plenty of security and people to watch out for him, so I'm sure she wouldn't have a problem with him having a car.

 

Where is this video of the Ferrari? I would very much like to see it.

Really, I interpreted that as she was talking about it because she knew that was coming up soon and was not happy or comfortable about it. If you think about it she is likely to be extra paranoid about something happening to him. Having lost Rene the last thing she would want is something happening to him. And no she probably couldn't stop him driving, but buying a 16 year old a Ferrari as their first car is quite something. Of course cost is not an issue here, it's the speed of the car etc which could be an issue. No matter how sensible your 16 year old is, as soon as you put other teenagers in the car it can quickly become another story.

 

Anyway we don't even know if she has even done that.

That's my opinion and what I took from her comments anyways, because she was talking about how some kids can't handle it and others can and how some need more time to mature. Celine said something about kids going through a indestructible, party faze. I don't think she views RC in that same category. I know RC isn't perfect. No teenager is, but judging from his behavior at his dad's funeral and other moment's we've seen recently, he sure doesn't act or look like the average 16 year old out there.

 

Edit: After seeing the video in question, I can basically confirm that RC didn't get a Ferrari for his birthday. I did find a video on instagram of RC playing basketball in front of a car, but it wasn't on his birthday. This particular video was filmed awhile back, way before RC's birthday.

 

I still wonder if he got a car though? I hope someone asks Celine about RC's birthday in an upcoming interview and asks if he received a car. I remember seeing a snap chat video awhile back that RC made with his friend John. In this video, someone asked RC what kind of car he would want. He gave an answer, but I can't remember what he said.

 

I think it was a something 1996? If anyone know this answer, I would really appreciate it.

I saw the Ferrari on snapchat yesterday and the font on the car on the inside said it was a Ferrari 612. Or a Ferrari F12. I googled it and the 612 was an older model. It for sure had a 12 on it.

I don't know if he got it for his birthday but his friends were posing and things like that in front of it so I'm sure it's new.

 

And they were playing hockey and I remember a user here said that Celine added a hockey thing to her home so that was definitely Celine's house.

I remember that, it was on periscope but that was in the summer, I don't remember what car it was

OMG. Really? Maybe it wasn't the video I was thinking of then. Would you by any chance being able to post this video to the forum? I wish I knew how to follow all these snapchat videos that RC's friend John posts. Is it like instagram, where you don't need to be a member to view something on snapchat?

It's gone now, since snapchat only allows a video or picture to be up for 24 hours (unless a user deletes it). I'll ask around if anyone screencapped it though!

 

You need to have a snapchat to view other people's snapchats.

Snapchat is an app where you can post up to 10 second videos and post photos for up to 10 seconds. So whatever you post is called a "story". And you "add" people by username, and view their snapchats if their snapchat is public. You can also send individual videos or pictures to people you've added (aka your "friends") but once you view it, it's gone (snapchat allows you to replay something once a day though). Once people add you back they can see your story if they choose to watch it, and you can see also see who views your story too.

 

Unless for example, their "profile" is like RC. His snapchat isn't public so even if you add him, you won't be able to see his story or send him individual pictures or videos unless he adds you back. It'll show that he's your "friend" though, and if he decided to make it public then you'd be able to see his story since you already had him added.

Unlike RC's friends who have theirs public, so whoever adds them can see their story, and send them individual snapchats. And if you were to screenshot their snapchat, they would be able to see who did it.

Oh. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I hope someone sceencapped it for us. Do you happen to remember what color the car was? I don't know why, but I'm picturing it being red.

[angelil78]

It's a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti black. I have the pics but don't know how to upload. But you can see the name from inside of the car.

 

The video where they are playing basketball was taken Friday evening, it was live video on Periscope. That was the same evening when the Ferrari pictures were posted. And on the pics you can see it's from Célines house (the fence)

There is another basketball video available from August though.

Is this the video? At what point does the Ferrari appear?

Yes as I got RC mixed up with Branden at first I thought it was him swearing at the start. Shocking! ha ha
