Emeritus member of Splendid, he shone in comedies such as Santa Claus is trash or The tanned ones. However, at the time of their release, part of the press shunned these feature films. Likewise, the films written by the group of cult actors have never won a César award.
An injustice which deeply marked the actor, to the point that he seems to have held a certain grudge against his detractors. Faced with Flavie Flament, he spoke of his little revenge.
“It’s very nice”
“What gives me pleasure is to see that the films that we made a very long time ago are still floating around, still exist. They are still praised while many films that had received honors at the time are fallen into oblivion“, indicated the actor, with a touch of jubilation.
“There is no revenge, but it’s nice”specified Gérard Jugnot. “Seeing them buckets of shit that we received, it’s still very pleasant”added the actor, smiling.
A tribute to Michel Blanc
During his interview in TelematinGérard Jugnot did not fail to evoke the memory of his friend Michel Blanc, who died a few weeks ago. “It's difficult for me to talk about it, because I met him in fourth grade“, indicated the actor.
“We didn't see each other much anymore, but when we did find each other, we picked up the story where we left off“he explained with emotion. While a tribute will be paid to the late Michel Blanc during the next César ceremony, his disappearance leaves a big void in the heart of Gérard Jugnot.
