Fabrice Luchini had things to say. This Tuesday, November 26, he was the guest on the show Telematinwho came to discuss his show in which he reads Victor Hugo. To do this, the columnists asked their guest to put themselves in the latter's shoes and answer questions, as if they were really the writer. The first concerned romanticism.
“Victor Hugo was romantic yes, since he is the incarnation”, said Fabrice Luchini. However, he did not want to stop there.
Fabrice Luchini then moved on to a slightly different subject.
“Sexually concrete, obviously also, a lot”, he said, to the laughter of the columnists. He seemed to be very informed about the writer's sexuality and Fabrice Luchini provided unexpected details.
“He was a man who is beyond the usual abilities”he declared before adding:
“His sexuality is so immense that with his wife Adèle, the first night, it is said that it happened nine to ten times”. Something to impress. “Cwhich is a lot, for the time and even for today”, recognized Fabrice Luchini.

He’s great.” To ensure that Fabrice Luchini had understood correctly, Camille Dahan clarified: “You have to get in the mood, it’s 1862, you’ve just published Les Misérables.”
The interview begins with the journalist who asks: “Could you be a rapper in 2024?” Fabrice Luchini therefore responds in the first person, putting himself in the shoes of Victor Hugo. “I am the embodiment of rap”he said before becoming himself again. “Victor Hugo is one of the greatest poets”, he said.

Fabrice Luchini had a lot of difficulty remaining in the shoes of Victor Hugo. In particular, he wanted to praise him, rather than think like him. However, he managed to answer this question by playing the writer. “He doesn’t have the sexual vitality that I have, he’s not as progressive as me,” he said. Quickly, Fabrice Luchini became himself again, evoking the personality of Victor Hugo. “Hugo is extraordinary, he loved women very much but he never let go of responsibility for his actions,” he said.
Fabrice Luchini affirms it: we must admire Victor Hugo and in particular his behavior towards women. “He accompanied the consequences of what he did”,
he declared before continuing: “He was not at all modern”. According to him, Victor Hugo was not the type of man to
“sleep with women and then leave”,
he declares before concluding: “If there were children, problems or anything else, he was totally there to take charge.” A writer who was present at every opportunity.
