This opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is in everyone’s memory. An evening at the top of the ratings, on July 26th with 23.2 million viewers (83.1% audience share). A suspended moment that filled the hearts of many French people, uniting them after difficult weeks marked by a complicated political context. They owe this incredible moment to the young director Thomas Jolly, artistic director of this opening ceremonyand its teams. But also to a “surprise guest“, the rain, as Emilie Tran Nguyen recalled, this September 9 on the set of It’s up to you. The opportunity for Thomas Jolly to return to a funny anecdote about the weather.
Guest on Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine’s show, the 42-year-old actor and theatre director reviewed images of himself in tears on the day of the ceremony, talking about the rain. We then hear him break down: “I can’t get there, I’m in shock, I think. It’s raining, what…” On the talk show set, Thomas Jolly then commented on these images.I’m actually going crazy“, he informed Thierry Reboul, the organizer. If they had rehabilitation plans, suddenly the theory became real. Enough to shake up the director, on edge.”There is a funny thing that people don’t know” he then admitted.
