Personal Life
One of Suchet's hobbies is photography. His maternal grandfather, James Jarché, was a famous Fleet Street photographer notable for the first pictures of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson and also for his pictures of Louis Blériot (1909) and the Siege of Sidney Street. Suchet first became interested in photography when his grandfather gave him a Kodak camera as a present. Suchet also plays the clarinet, and drums.
He affectionately calls his fat suit for Hercule Poirot his "armadillo padding".
He lived in Pinner, a London suburb, for many years.
