Particularly “cash” comments. Valérie Bonneton was the guest of “On refait la télé”, Saturday November 23, on RTL. The opportunity for her to make revelations on the return of “Fais pas ci, fait pas ça”, on her friendship with Dany Boon or even on the TV program in which she dreams of participating.
“No one knows that”
During the radio show, host Éric Dussart asked the actress: “Are film shoots still very vertical?”. To which she replied: “Nobody knows that, nobody knows how it works. I don't want to say bad things, obviously it's my job”. She did not hesitate to continue : “For example, well the main roles are extremely favored and then we really feel a crazy difference between the small roles. But it goes from transportation to sandwiches for the extras, nothing at all, no coffee, no stuff”.
On RTL, Valérie Bonneton confided: “Before it worked for me, I laughed about it a lot with my friends. Because the main actors, they say “I can have a coffee” and then I say “Me too”. Then he passes the coffee under my nose, I won't have any. So it's like that, it's still things where we obviously benefit from it, we're very spoiled but sometimes, I think it goes against it, I don't know why in fact, it's to this point”.
Bouncing back on his words, Eric Dussart said: “And now that you're on the right side of the fence, those with the best treatments, does that bother you a little?”. The actress who brilliantly played Fabienne Lepic in “Don’t do this, don’t do that” then explained: “I have the impression that obviously we need to be surrounded, it's a fragile job, yes, but not to a certain extent. Because we are too too protected! I find that comfort goes against creation, I find”.
Furthermore, Valérie Bonneton was questioned about salary inequalities between actors and actresses. She said: “But of course it's very unfair. When men are better paid, we know it, it always continues.” The one who co-hosts “We’re redoing TV” with Jade tried to find out : “Have you ever had a role of equal importance where you were paid less than a man?”.

The star of popular comedies like “Eyjafjallajökull”, “Superchondriaque” and “La Ch'tite famille” revealed: “And refuse, to refuse, but that was 20-25 years ago saying 'Wait, I don't understand. I have the main role. He has a much less important role. And I'm paid a lot less than him!'”. “And what do we answer you?” exclaimed Eric Dussart. The one who is part of the gang brought together by Guillaume Canet for “Les Petits Mouchoirs” and “We will end up together” specifies: “Well, I'll take an actress who is cheaper. Well, take your actress who is less expensive… Why in fact, so much injustice? For what ? No, I don't accept”.
