This Wednesday, October 9, 2024, Fabrice Luchini was Yann Barthès’ guest on the show Daily to promote his new show. The 72-year-old actor, used to offbeat interventions, was no exception to the rule and put on a real show. Faithful to his acerbic humor and with his taste for witticisms, the latter did not fail to evoke certain political figures. After a dig addressed to Anne Hidalgo, the comedian turned to the First Lady, Brigitte Macron.

The actor specifies, however, not without irony : “I don’t blame her but she never came and I understand her, because Pascal still needs a level of attention. No, it’s not mean.” A remark which left Yann Barthès and the public somewhat taken aback.
