For the 50th anniversary of the troop of
SplendidThierry Lhermitte came to promote the book The Splendid on the Splendid published by Cherche Midi. The troupe is made up of the late Michel Blanc, Gérard Jugnot, Josiane Balasko, Christian Clavier, Marie-Anne Chazel and Bruno Moynot.
The journalists of RTL MidiCéline Landreau and Vincent Parizot, managed to hinder the actor. Thierry Lhermitte returned to a replica
cult of Popeye in the Tanned : “I lost 3827 kilos of chicks”.
A humorous reply that became problematic
“Oh damn, I lost 3827 kilos of a girl, I get disgusted sometimes you know. And how many are you?” This line comes from the character
Popeye who didn't speak very well about women.
“You quote this line in the book saying 'good today…'” the journalist begins to say before Thierry Lhermitte cuts her off.
“Ah but today yes, but I already thought that
It was despicable at the time. I wasn't glorifying Popeye for saying that. It's a pig.“ For him, the problem is part of the public. “No one thought we meant it. Finally, if a certain part of the people found that It was quite funny to say that.”
When humor is misunderstood
And even today, people seem
to validate the reply. Fans of the troupe do not hesitate to say it directly to the 71-year-old actor in the street, telling him: “this one was good“. “It is embarrassingbut that’s how it is.” he says before using a specific example. “Coluche, when he was in the Arab CRS, there were people who thought it was
funny to make fun of the Arabs. That's how it is. It meant the opposite. We are not always understood.” Thierry Lhermitte saddened himself while explaining the subtlety of certain characters.
The actor would no longer attempt this type of response now, especially when fans seem to validate it. “Must don't spit in the soup… Coluche, Leeb, and others made jokes about all kinds of people and religions.and everyone was laughing..it was like that..” says a user in the comments.
“And let’s stop comparing then to today!
It's disgusting but very funny.”
