Jean-Pierre Foucault is in the series “Murders in…”, the first episode of the season dedicated to the Blue Coast is broadcast on October 12, 2024. The emblematic host of French TV opens up about a rather unusual regret.
For an astonishing, and almost ironic, reason, Jean-Pierre Foucault regrets having taken part in Murders on the Blue Coastwhich begins broadcast this evening on France 3. Near TV 7 dayshe spoke about the difficulties he had in interpreting his character.
“But what happened to you?”
The 76-year-old presenter had never played a character other than himself. Become an actor for this series on France 3 was a big challenge. Reason why he hesitated: “But what made you say yes?” he asks our colleagues.
“I realized that it was extremely complicated to interpret a character, especially since the director, Marjolaine de Lecluse, was quite demanding”explains the host. A small regret therefore, tinged with irony, since finally he was able to complete the filming and perform in a sufficiently satisfactory manner for him to appear on the small screen this evening.
The director’s leitmotif was to say “This scene is great, but we’re going to do it again!” And with a bit of perseverance, Murders on the Blue Coast was able to see the light of day.
Career turnaround
It was an unprecedented turnaround in the career of the emblematic presenter of Miss France: “I would say the taste for adventure and novelty, without doubt… I hesitated before giving my agreement.”
“Acting was a completely new experience. I had acted two or three times, but my own role”explains Jean-Pierre Foucault.
A parenthesis which will not prevent her from presenting Miss France in December: “But hey, it will be thirty years, this year, that I am hosting this ceremony, and I have always been wrong about the predictions. I would like to point out that it is still me who will present the election, since magazines regularly announce, exclusively, my ousting!”
