Personal Life
Jean Todt is the father of Nicolas Todt (co-owner of the ART Grand Prix GP2 team) and since 2004 his partner has been actress Michelle Yeoh.
When Jean Todt was appointed FIA president, an English paper already predicted he could “play the glamour card with the support of his partner and ex-Bond girl Michelle Yeoh“, and she often accompanies him when he is invited in his capacity as FIA president. Yeoh also acts as ambassador of the FIA Foundation for the Automobile and Society. This foundation, existing within the FIA since 2001, launched in 2011 the "Decade of Action for Road Safety" and produced the documentary Turning Point. Due to her mutual commitment to road traffic safety the couple frequently travels together in order to promote this FIA campaign together.
Todt was one of the producers of Yeoh's film The Lady.
