Like the Frenchwoman of the Games, the Frenchwoman of the Charbonnages… It's so absurd, the Frenchwoman of intensity! At his funeral, we made a big wreath with the words 'your colleagues of French intensity'. We thought it would have made him laugh“, confided Thierry Lhermitte at the microphone of BFMTV last November 26.
And added: “There are people dying and people losing friends every day. There's nothing special about it other than the fact that we're famous. But Michel is still there. It's just weird to think we won't see him again. But he is still present.“
