The actor so beloved by the French public died following an anaphylactic shock a week earlier. During his visit to Marseille for the filming of season 2 of Escort BoysJosiane Balasko confided in Provence on this reunion with the Splendid, a famous troupe of actors of which she was a part with the deceased.
“We don't see each other often, but every time we laugh (…) Even when we were at church, we laughed, because we were still talking stupid things to each other. Michel would have appreciated that for such a day. It's something that is inherent to our group“, she said to our colleagues. As a reminder, the whole gang was present for this final tribute to Michel Blanc, except Dominique Lavanant and of course Anémone, who left us more than five years ago.
