Philippe Bouvard: “A first in more than 70 years”, this absence which worries about his condition

Concern is increasing around the health of Philippe Bouvard. A few weeks before his 95th birthday, the legendary host skipped a very important meeting
“for the first time in 70 years”. In fact, he did not find the strength to write the monthly column that he now writes in VSD. In its issue on newsstands this Thursday, October 31, in fact, it is a text written by the editorial staff which is found in place of “Bouvardages”.

“Our friend Philippe Bouvard, a little tired
– he must celebrate his 96th birthday on December 6 -, was not able to give us his chronicle
we can read.
This is a first in more than 70 years of career.”
“It had to happen one dayadds the weekly to which Philippe Bouvard has collaborated since 2020. To wait until his return, we hope next month, some of his best witticisms.”

Philippe Bouvard's eyesight “has declined”

An alarming press release for the state of health of Philippe Bouvard, who is becoming more and more discreet in the media. The latest news from the iconic host of Grosses têtes goes back a few months. On the set of C à vous then, Michel Drucker described him as a very diminished man.
“I call him almost every two weeks Philippe. I speak very loudly because there are days when he can’t hear well”confided his friend.

“And then, his visual acuity has changed a lot. He was 94 years old…”added Michel Drucker, without reassuring about the state of health of Philippe Bouvard. A few years ago, Philippe Bouvard was forced to retire from RTL. A complicated moment for this hard worker. “I rarely leave the house. I spend half my day listening to the news, taking notes, and the other half reacting. My eyesight having deteriorated, I have the newspapers read to me”he described to Soir.

Philippe Bouvard: “I’m still alive, but not completely!”

“The radio is on all the time and I never watch television. The images don't interest me, also confided Philippe Bouvard. The hardest part is the weekends. My secretary isn't here and I'm bored.” With his permanent good humor, the journalist never wanted to feel sorry for himself. Even if the years that pass have not always been kind to him. And it was with humor that he gave interviews.

“I'm still alive, but not completely!” he joked in particular on the set of Jordan de Luxe. Philippe Bouvard then explained that “old age [lui] has been worth some infirmities, some handicaps”. But there's no question of him moping around. Because he thinks he's going
“as good as one can be at that age.”
