Gérard Darmon does not have the habit of mincing his words. Recently, he also gave his strong opinion on young people.
Gérard Darmon is at the heart of a dark affair. According to a recent survey conducted by Politicalseveral technicians who worked on shoots with the 76-year-old actor reported insults, sexist remarks and non-consensual physical contact. Faced with these accusations, the actor vigorously denied the facts with which he is accused. “He quickly diverted his remarks into insults and threats. We then sent him a list of questions by email and message, to which he did not respond.“, specified the media.
If Gérard Darmon finds himself at the center of a delicate affair, this is not the first time that his behavior has sparked controversy. In the past, his comments have already shocked many times, provoking the indignation of many spectators and professionals. In a recent interview with La Tribune du Dimanche, Christine's companion spoke in particular about the situation of “young people from the suburbs” in France. And the least we can say is that his rather radical point of view did not please everyone.
“They are angry”
In full promotion of Hervé Mimran's film, Old-fashionedin which he plays Henri and stars in cinema like Didier Bourdon, Chantal Lauby and Igor Gotesman, Gérard Darmon spoke at length about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “When this Ali or this Mohammed turns against me today, reproaches me for applauding the genocidaires with both hands, it makes me angry.“, he lamented before adding: “They are angry people who hate the Jew and who do not want to admit it. Ignorance is a real poison. The guys from “La France indigne” understood this well…“
“I want to take them in entire charters”
Although he recognized the anger that exists in the cities, Gérard Darmon mainly focused on what he considers to be a “disrespect and hatred of France“. During his interview, the septuagenarian also pointed out the disappearance of military service before proposing a solution to change mentalities: “I want to take them on entire charters so that they understand what is happening elsewhere. Just stay there for a week, observe, then afterwards, we can talk about the luck of living in France“.
A particularly difficult period for Gérard Darmon
It must be said that Gérard Darmon also experienced a difficult period. “I no longer had any wheat, but I always managed to find 20 bales to buy food. But after a while, when there was nothing left in the box, the problems continued. The bailiffs showed up at my house and a friend took me in“, he explained. It would have been “saved” by Alain Chabat by integrating the casting ofAsterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra. A role that relaunched his career!
