Jamel Debbouze cash on this well-hidden fantasy
Flashback: we are in 1999 in Everyone Talks About It. Jamel was on his way to becoming the megastar of humor at the time. Obviously, he appears on the flagship show of France 2 presented by Thierry Ardisson. A show mixing news, entertainment and promotion. The comedian then asks questions in a concept interview in 'Would you prefer' mode.
“Between one Miss World and three Miss France?”, says the host in black, evoking the choice of actor for one night. Jamel straight away, with a mischievous smile: “I think, I'll take three Miss France!” “That’s nice for me, thank you!”, intervenes a Linda Hardy falsely candid alongside Thierry Ardisson. She, a professional model, was elected Miss France a few years ago. What she doesn't know yet is that she will be playing later in the season of
H facing… Jamel Debbouze! The two also share a scene of kiss in a memorable episode paying homage to the cult film Tanned skiers.
