When Sophie Davant talks about Patrice Laffont’s career
Questioned by Laurent Romejko, the former presenter of Affaire conclue gave a raw memory of Patrice Laffont: « First he was super grumpy. It only took a little thing for him to start complaining. He was quite caustic, quite frank. If he had something to say, he would just throw it at you like that, without necessarily beating around the bush.”. Then add: “He was in the sixth degree. I always heard that she was the biggest lazy person on Earth.. That he hadn’t had the career he could have had. He didn’t do anything, he would have been a great talk show host, or done a bit more filming, or theater. But hey, I think he loved life above all, he was a bon vivant, he loved seeing his friends, he loved playing pétanque every Sunday with his buddies… A life far from show business.
