Recently invited in a program on RTL, Laurent Gerra gave his opinion on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, strongly criticizing the city of Paris and the presence of Aya Nakamura.
Months after the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, Aya Nakamura's performance during the event is still being talked about. If the singer's presence was strongly criticized before and after the event, she was also welcomed by several personalities. This is the case of Charles Aznavour's son, happy that the singer covered a famous song of his father, but also of the captain of the Republican Guard who accompanied Aya Nakamura during her performance.

However, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was not unanimous. Recently, impersonator Laurent Gerra gave his opinion on this long-awaited show, which he did not appreciate at all.
“Ridiculous stuff”
The comedian gave his opinion during the show “On refait la télé” on RTL, where he was invited to promote his new show “Laurent Gerra se mise à table”. Known for being very critical and for not having his tongue in his pocket, Laurent Gerra has remained true to himself.
“Everything I make fun of in my show came together in this ceremony,” he said. We had everything. Three hours with people on barges saying hello, with rappers and Aya Nakamura. The thing had to be faded! Everyone was proud to be French and I was laughing until I cried. I said to myself, it's not possible that we give an image like that of France. I want to be progressive, but not with ridiculous things anyway!”
In addition to attacking Aya Nakamura and the artists present at the event, Laurent Gerra mentioned the city of Paris, which he cannot stand but where he is obliged to go for professional reasons.
“The Olympics are over, all the rats have returned… I last two or three days in Paris, I concentrate all my meetings, I no longer have an apartment, I live in the offices, I have a small studio where I am comfortable. I never really liked Paris. Lyon should be the capital,” he said.
Finally, when the radio host asked him what he would have preferred instead of the opening ceremony, Laurent Gerra replied: “Let there be no Olympics”. A clear opinion on the question.
