Patrick Puydebat was this Tuesday, December 17, 2024 the guest of the show Chez Jordan broadcast every morning on C8. The opportunity for him to look back on his participation in Fort Boyard and to evoke a funny memory which had annoyed the production.
You knew him as Nicolas in Helen and the Boysrediscovered in The Mysteries of LovePatrick Puydebat is one of the star actors of the sitcoms of the 1990s. Thanks to his fame acquired more than thirty years ago, the actor had the opportunity to appear in numerous legendary shows and programs of the small screen. On the occasion of his interview with Jordan de Luxe on his show At Jordan'sPatrick Puydebat was questioned about his two appearances in the game Fort Boyard.
A second participation which has remained engraved in the history of the game!
Patrick Puydebat participated not once, but twice in Fort Boyard. A first time in the team led by José Touré in 2004, and a second time in the team led by Vincent Mc Doom in 2012, where he also found his sidekick from Hélène et les Garçons, the actress Hélène Rollès. Patrick Puydebat remembers: “He made me do all the sports things, crazy things, I was fit at the time”, he explains, before remembering a more painful emotion: “I had a hard time Fort Boyard”. During the interview, he returned with more attention to his second participation where, according to him, he would have broken a record! : “We fought for the orphans of Tibet.(…) He was complaining about the production because during the second part I was filming with the cast of kids from The student Ducobu, and it was this kid who was as big as a shrimp, who was cute as hell, I used her as a bag so we filled it with boyars!”, he says with humor.
A strategy that did not please the production!
The method adopted by Patrick Puydebat to collect the boyars during the final test which was not appreciated by the production, he recounts: “The boyars were filled in this way, and they told me that it was not allowed, but no one told me that. So we filled the pot!”, he concluded with a laugh. An anecdote and a behavior which still allowed him to defend with honor the association for which he had responded. Since 2012, he has not participated in the program again, a coincidence? Probably ! The fact remains that, according to him, this little stratagem had the gift of really annoying the production of the game!
