Bruno was the second child but first son of Jacques Mesrine and Maria de la Soledad, a young woman the mobster met while vacationing in Spain.

Once a helicopter pilot, he had become a professional magician.

He also cherished the memory of his father, more than his eldest, Sabrina or his youngest, Boris.

Bruno Mesrine notably participated in the 2008 reissue of

Jacques Mesrine's autobiography at Flammarion.

At the time, he would run the TV sets to promote it.

Bruno Mesrine regularly mentioned this mythical father figure in the media.

He notably recounted his childhood and the risks taken by the gangster to see his children.

He also spoke of his early years in Clichy-la-Garenne, with his paternal grandparents to whom he was entrusted.

At a time when he thought he was an orphan: his ancestors had told him that his parents had died in a car accident.
