The Splendid on the Splendidpublished by Editions du Cherche Midi. Dn this work, Josiane Balasko, Marie-Anne Chazel, Christian Clavier, Gérard Jugnot, Thierry Lhermitte and Bruno Moynot look back on the success of their troupe. Available on November 21, the book also pays tribute to Michel Blanc, as AFP journalist Jean-François Guyot was able to show.
Indeed, on X, he published the message left by Michel Blanc's cronies: “And thank you President Blanc for all these years of laughter and talent. A few weeks ago, we said to ourselves that we should all see each other together regularly, otherwise the next time it would be at the cemetery… We were counting on this forthcoming book to do so. Too late…and tears won't change anything”it is written.
The moving tribute from the actors of Splendid
A very moving tribute for the one who leaves a great void in the hearts of his friends. Indeed, since the disappearance of Michel Blanc, his former partners have spoken in the media. Notably Gérard Jugnot, who was a guest on RTL.
The actor returned to the signs of affection
fans of the Bronzés : “I was extremely touched by this display of emotion, on him and on us. In the street, I often receive condolences, even though he was not my family, but he is a real family all the same.”he confided.
Gérard Jugnot confides in his grief
But these testimonies are sometimes difficult to live with for Gérard Jugnot, who is unable to grieve: “It's a little tiring. Well, not tiring, but sad, because as soon as you forget a little, there's someone who reminds you,” he confides. “The other time, I saw myself in shows, I was a little grim”, he declared.
The day of Michel Blanc's death, Gérard Jugnot remembers it in the smallest detail: “It was Josiane who called me… We had followed the adventures of his multiple heart attacks, and in the evening, he left,” he explained. He then came out of “a screening of a very nice film, called 'The Bicycle', and which is a film about mourning, moreover.
I went out, and I got this message, there you go…“he declared.
