Franck Dubosc had two careers. Two polarities a priori inverted which nevertheless represent two sides of the same coin. There is the Dubosc
saucyfrom his shows to Campingauthor of the sadly cult valve “Sandy? Like Sandy kilos?”. And then there is the Dubosc maturecomedies like Barbecue or Everyone standing. What if the comedian had improved like good wine? Surely the age of reason, even if a bit late. He returns to a latent clash with Guillaume Canet…
Franck Dubosc: rehearsal comic(s)
Franck Dubosc, like other comedians of his generation, made his debut on television. Rather surprisingly, he plays a small role in the science show
Time animated by the Bogdanoff brothers. More surprisingly, in the second half of the 1980s, it migrated Great Britain to play the
frenchy lover in the cult series Coronation
Street.
1992, he returned to France to write for The Impossible Show presented by Arthur. There, he rubs shoulders in particular Elie Semoun. The two will collaborate together on Elie's Classifieds three years later. 98, he presented his first one-man show:
Beautiful, good, Dubosc. A year later, he already continued with his second show.
A phenomenal rise on the big screen
Ultimately, Franck Dubosc took time to break through. But the comedian is not the type to give up. His show,
For you, audiencein 2002, is a huge box in addition to definitively imposing its mark.
But success really came four years later with
Camping. Or the variation, in long format, of one of his sketch characters.
This comedy of friends, a bit schoolboy, is a huge success with more than 5,000,000 entries! Dubosc experienced a phenomenal rise and made a series of films: the aftermath of Campingthe formidable Incognitothe underrated Welcome aboard or even the owl
Barbecue. In 2018, he dared to take the plunge into directing with Everyone standing.
Franck Dubosc on his quarrel with Guillaume Canet
Several times, Franck Dubosc will break his image of a nice redneck with a miso-miso tendency. A screen avatar, largely extrapolated by its characters from shows or films. In 2012, already, with the bittersweet comedy 10 golden days. Then with his second feature film, in front of and behind the camera,
Rumba lifein 2021. But we often bring it back to its first facet. This is evidenced by this slightly heated exchange with columnists Eric Zemmour and Eric Naulleau in On n’est pas couch. We are in 2010, the first destroys the actor by accusing him of always doing “Dubosc”. In the same interview, the comedian returns to his
blurs with Guillaume Canet.
“You have to reconcile with Guillaume Canet, on the other hand…”, lance Laurent Ruquierthe host of ONPC. Response from Franck Dubosc: “I know there's something that pisses him off, it's an image he doesn't want us to show, he thinks it was me who gave it. Well, not at all.” He concludes in order to avoid the initial question: “I have no problem with Guillaume.”
