Malik Bentalha announced in the magazine GQ that he would no longer work with the Canal+ group headed by Vincent Bolloré. “I will no longer do anything with Canal+, the comedian and actor told the magazine in an interview dated December 11.
“I find that doing something with this group means supporting the vision of society that its leaders have today. When I see everything that is happening on CNews and in certain Canal group broadcasts, I I can no longer act like it’s nothing. If I have to alienate them, I will alienate them. I’m not afraid of that.
This decision is part of “a big questioning”. As recalled GQit was by parodying a flagship program from CNews, a channel of the media group, that the comedian returned to the forefront. That Pascal Praud did not taste his pastiche of “L’Heure des Pros” would almost suit him.”notes the magazine.
His parody show “L’Heure de trop” was seen more than “more than 40 million times, all platforms combined” on the canvas“. “I want to send messages. It’s also my role as a comedian”he underlines when talking about the artistic project.
Since December 10, the actor has been back on stage with his latest show New World which is sold out until the end of the year. He will take it again next year.
