He confided like never before. On September 11, 2024, Guillaume Pley unveiled a new edition of his web show Legend. He received Laurent Ruquier who did not hesitate to open up about various subjects, including his money. He also faced an old photo of himself that should provoke a reaction.
Laurent Ruquier was born in Le Havre on February 24, 1963. A Normandy that he left in the 80s to go to Paris. And very quickly, he felt that he “did not have the social codes“. “This gap is always a little bit in terms of clothing, even in terms of vocabulary, culturally speaking too. I have read very few books“, he said. And he admitted that during professional evenings, he had also felt this gap. Like when he was at France Inter, a station for which the singer Frédéric François was ashamed. An artist that his mother loved very much.
Old photo of Laurent Ruquier revealed
Guillaume Pley then showed him a photo from that time. We discover Hugo Manos’ companion with a side parting and a moustache. A black and white photo that surprised the presenter: “It’s funny, you looked older back then.” “And yet, I don’t have a beard. I had a beard too. You’d think he was a serial killer. He even had curly hair, which is even worse.. The beard and curly hair. I look almost younger today“, reacted the host of Big Heads (RTL) amused. Then, he recalled that “times have changed“, that at the time this look was not surprising.”But yes, I looked older than the average of my friends at the time.“, he admitted, however.
In any case, Laurent Ruquier has come a long way since then. He has been working on a series of professional projects since the 1980s. The public has been able to follow him on television and radio with We tried everything (France 2), We’re going to be embarrassed (Europe 1) or even We are not lying down (France 2). Recently, he was seen in the role of investigator in Mask Singer, on TF1. He was also in charge of the 8 p.m. Ruquier with Julie Hammett, on BFMTV.
