“I’m sorry. I didn’t think…” This Saturday, December 21, Léa Salamé wears an embarrassed smile in What a time! It must be said that in front of her, one of her guests has just made a sad revelation. The host asked Audrey Fleurot to talk about the one who inspired her vocation as an actress, her dad.
“I have told this story a lot and then I have just lost my father so it will make him all the more happy”, begins the pretty redhead. For a moment, the usually cheerful host seems confused. Professional to the tips of her nails, the star of HPI nevertheless continues her momentum.
Audrey Fleurot: her father at the origin of her passion for comedy
“My father was a Paris firefighter, at the time when there were firefighters on duty in theaters, notably at the Comédie Française. I think one evening my mother said to him: “Take the kid.”“This is how the only daughter of a firefighter and a childcare worker from the popular 19th arrondissement of the capital discover the beauty of the scene in a single eveningthe emotion in the room and the excitement behind the scenes.
“I had an epiphany. I said to myself, this is what I want to do,” she explains. Audrey has already told this anecdote about her dad. On screen, she doesn’t let anything show of the emotion that undoubtedly grips her when talking about the latter. Yet he must be cruel, the lack of this dear father… It is inevitably difficult, the absence of this man who not only took her to the theater, but also introduced her to the cinema of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill.
This considerate man and sometimes worried about his daughter, whose job is time-consuming. From now on, the 47-year-old actress must face the world without him. And he is far from tender, as she noticed after his appearance on the France 2 talk show.
On Certainly, Audrey has seen others, she who has repeatedly reported having been a self-conscious teenagereven calling herself “very ugly” in Gala in 2016. But she would undoubtedly have done without these vile remarks, at a time when she will also soon have to say goodbye to Morgane Alvaro, her character in HPI.
Audrey Fleurot seals the end of HPI
Filming for season 5, the very last, began in November. “It’s a totally reasoned and reasonable choice, not at all emotional because I think it’s going to be very, very hard for me,” she admitted on the set of the show. “I I think I’m going to cry a lot and I’m going to miss (the show), but I think it’s also great to leave on top.” At the top, the series necessarily is when we know that she breaks all records on TF1. On average, the final season attracted more than 6.6 million viewers. Figures which did not dissuade Audrey from wanting to stop, as we revealed to you a few months ago.

Except that as the deadline approached, things would no longer be so simple… “Lately, she was bored and wanted something else. She did everything to make it stop“, even if it means disappointing the team, a close source reveals to us. “But now that the end is imminent, it can only cause anxiety. HPI was a golden role, one of those you only get once in a lifetime. Finding such a character is not easy.”
On France 2, she also outlined this dizzinesseven explaining that she was perhaps unaccustomed to such audiences. Did she make the right choice in deciding to put an end to this adventure? The question is probably on his mind. Hoping that 2025 will bring him his Inspiring High Potential as quickly as possible…
