Josephine Jobert's comment section on Instagram has been highly inquisitive after the Death in Paradise star shared a photo with a mysterious man, with the caption: "Spending good time with family," written in both French and English. 

Taking to the comments, her followers were quick to speculate on his identity, with one writing: "Nice picture of you and your husband," while another person added: "Lovely photo @josephinejobert_official. Is this your father?" Others suggested that he could be her uncle or another family member, but Josephine appeared to confirm that the man in the snap was indeed her dad by liking one of the posts about him.

Another fan posted: "I can see the likeness, hope you are having good time together." 

Josephine's father is Charles Jobert, a French cinematographer and production manager who worked as a camera operator in the 1970s-80s. Meanwhile, her mother Véronique Mucret Rouveyrollis is a fellow actress, as well as a writer and director.

Speaking to HELLO! About her mum back in 2022, she said: "We're working on three projects at the same time. I love to write and I'd like to produce, I'm really interested in it, and my mum is amazing, she has so many brilliant ideas. She's a writer, she's a director, she's been an actress, singer, dancer. Her CV... I'm like, 'Mum, this is a lie. You haven't done all of this. It's impossible!' She's extremely talented.

"Writing with another person can be very difficult, you have to be really connected. We're having so much fun. We wrote a short movie, we are working on the series, and we have a big blockbuster movie! Like Pirates of the Caribbean kind of vibe. No limits! I'm like, 'Mum, this is gonna cost a lot of money,' and she's like, 'Just write it and we'll see! Write the movie, and we'll find the money later!'"

Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tends to wash up on its beautiful shores.
