“When I saw Nicolas …”
«I did not understand why I was born there. I thought there was an error in maternity. I did not understand what I was doing in this family. Why did we not have a DS 19 but a runner -up, why we lived in a building and we did not have a property at the end of an aisle of trees. That is to say that I did not understand why I was there. And so yes I felt completely foreign to that ”, explained Thierry Ardisson while specifying that she was ashamed of being ashamed.
This book is ultimately a kind of tribute to his family. “”My father brought me a lot ”, he said trying to contain his emotion. Tears in his eyes, he continued: “On the cinematic level. It was he who made me listen to Europe 1, who made me read Paris Match, who brought me to see films. So all that obviously, it’s true. ” Léa Salamé could not do other than underline this disorder. To which Thierry Ardisson retorted with an embarrassed laugh: “It’s because of Demorand that.” “I read his book, I got into this studio and voila, when I saw Nicolas …”he continued without succeeding in finishing his sentence as the emotion seized him. The book in question is called Interior night. Nicolas Demorand has delivered having bipolarity there for 30 years but having been diagnosed that eight years ago. This revelation had the effect of a bomb, both for the general public, and in the media world. In tears, he finally tried to recover: “But it does not matter […] His book exploded me. ”
Faced with this unexpected sensitivity, Léa Salamé wanted to resume the thread of her interview by branching off on the central subject: the book by Thierry Ardisson. But that was without counting the reaction of Nicolas Demorand, still present in the studio. “As I have two guys who chip in front of me, it’s a bit … It was not planned like that”she said to try to relax the atmosphere.
