Although Bruel aspired to be a football star as a youth, he decided to pursue singing after seeing Michel Sardou in 1975. His first success came as an actor, however, in 1979's Le Coup de sirocco. He continued acting in films, on television and in the theater while pursuing his singing career. His first single, "Vide" ("Empty"), released in 1982, was not a success, but the follow up, "Marre de cette nana-là" ("Fed up with that chick"), was a hit.
In 2003, he had his last name officially changed to Bruel-Benguigui, his stage name with his birthname, before his partner Amanda Maruani gave birth to his first child, Oscar, on August 19. On September 21, 2004, he wed the 24-year-old Maruani; it is his first marriage. His second child, Léon Bruel was born on the 28th September, 2005.
As of 2004 Bruel has acted in more than 40 different television and film productions and made five studio albums and several live albums. His last album to date is Entre Deux (2002), a double CD of classic chanson that features duets with Charles Aznavour, Jean-Louis Aubert, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Alain Souchon and Renaud, among others. It sold two million copies and made Bruel France's best paid singer of the year. At the beginning of 2005, in response to the South Asian tsunami of December 26, 2004, Bruel wrote the song "Et puis la terre" to benefit the Red Cross.

Je Fais Semblant
Patrick Bruel Lyrics
La photo de classe
Le sourire rose d'une fille qui me dépasse
Le p'tit air malin qui suit mes grimaces
La vie qui trace
Les souvenirs qui n'ont plus assez de place
Et les grands airs qui me font boire la tasse
Le temps qui passe
Je fais semblant
Je joue au grand
Je m'invente des papas
Des grands des forts à qui je ressemble pas
Mais qui me donnent la force de croire en moi
Je fais semblant
Je suis tremblant à l'idée qu'on ne m'aime pas
Je sers maman qui me prend dans ses bras
Je fais semblant que rien ne m'arrivera
Ne m'arrivera…
Premier frisson
On apprend la guitare sous l'édredon
Sa mère ne veut pas de moi c'est un peu con
Les nuits s'en vont
Et ma première histoire houle dans l'avion
Mais là on se mêle au Brésil de Milton
Première chanson
Je fais semblant
Je joue au mec à qui on ne l'a fait pas
Je suis absent, elle ne reviendra pas
J'embrasse des lèvres que je ne connais pas
Je fais semblant
Je prends ma voix sans vie à bout de bras
J'enfonce les portes où l'on veut bien de moi
Ca fait sourire
On dit qu'on me rappellera
On me rappelle pas
Et puis un jour
Des mains se tendent pour m'offrir de l'amour
Des voix s'unissent pour guider mes détours
Le monde autour
Ceux qui m'aiment
Les autres qui comptent les jours
Ceux qui me font espérer en toujours
Trop de monde autour
Je fais semblant
Je joue à croire que je mérite tout ça
Je suis tremblant
Ces gens sont là pour moi
Je leur raconte ma vie
Et il me voit
J'fais plus semblant
Je rends sa vie à ma voix à bout de bras
Celle que j'attends doit se cacher par là
Elle doit bien se cacher je ne la vois pas
Je ne la vois pas…
Le premier jour
Je me relève si on me pousse dans la cours
Je suis Thierry La Fronde, je gagne toujours
Et le temps court
