Cyril Hanouna is not close to a controversy. Sometimes the host of Don't touch my post finds himself linked to a controversy that does not even affect him. The proof? The opening ceremony of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. During this popular event, Jean Dujardin wore a white tank top and beret. A vision archaic et
stereotypical of the average French person who has been criticized.
Hanouna comes to the actor's aid.
Cyril Hanouna: controversial host
Cyril Hanouna has hosted TPMP for ten years. First on
France 4dissecting other TV programs in good collegial humor. Since 2017, the show has transformed into an opinion media swaying frankly to the right of the right. A mild euphemism to say that TPMP serves as a hatch for an uninhibited far right.
This is evidenced by the Pepouze interviews of Marine Le Pen, Florian Philippot or more recently
Jordan Bardella. L’My faceaudiovisual regulator, singled out Hanouna and TPMP. Thus, the frequency of C8 is not renewed on DTT for 2025. According to RMC, the channel has accumulated fines of 7.6 million euros in eight years for Hanouna's slip-ups.
Jean Dujardin, patron saint of cinema
For his part, in ten years, Jean Dujardin has gone from being a cool actor, thanks to his debilitated hero in OSS 117to the patron saint of French cinema. His Oscar for best actor, gleaned in 2012, for The Artistgave a big boost to his career. Career already on the upward slope. He notably filmed for Martin Scorsese et
George Clooney.
But the actor, eternal Loulou ofOne Guy, One Girlremains 100% pure French. As evidenced by its rant franchouillard during the release of On the black paths in 2023. The same year, he was the star of the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup. There, he embodies the Frenchman in all his most cliché aspects: beret, tank top, baguette under his arm.
Hanouna flies to Dujardin’s aid
Obviously, such a representation of France, both traditional and dated, has caused a lot of ink to be cut. On social networks, obviously, where the sequences with Dujardin were re-shared ad nauseam. But also in the media like in TPMP. A lively exchange between Cyril Hanouna and his columnist Gilles Verdez takes place on the set.
“I was ashamed of being French […] Jean Dujardin's ceremony is a disaster!”, says Verdez. Hanouna defends the Oscar-winning actor: “But stop […]
You're unbearable. But, excuse me, what did you do? You would have done it, It would have been catastrophic!” A pass of arms between the star host and his punching bag columnist. The TPMP routine, in short.
