Thierry Lhermitte lifts the veil on a cult scene of Tanned
As Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine recalled, the Splendid troupe did not work at Club Med, but was invited there to do sketches. But the actors were inspired by what they saw there to write certain passages of the film, such as the one where Gérard Jugnot is tortured by a particularly energetic masseur. “This massage scene, I saw it with my own eyes”, said Thierry Lhermitte.. “It wasn’t in the club itself, it was in a hammam in Turkey. Jugnot hangs out in the locker rooms. Christian and I enter the thing and we see a sort of enormous masseur, a monster, who was tormenting his clients. We say to ourselves, we’re never going to go there, because he was hurting people. And Jugnot arrives just when the masseur has finished with his client. And so, the masseur says ‘so?’ to find out who’s going to be next.”said Thierry Lhermitte. The two accomplices obviously designated their friend. “He hadn’t seen it. So we saw him being massacred. Boiling water, freezing water. And he was squealing like Jugnot”concluded the hilarious actor at this memory.
Michel Blanc felt “locked up” in his character of Jean-Claude Dusse
Guest on the set of TelematinThierry Lhermitte recalled that Michel Blanc, who died recently, felt a little prisoner of his clumsy flirtatious character in The Bronzed. “It’s funny because Michel was so annoyed… He wasn’t locked up, he did Mr Hirehe did fucking movie (Evening weareditor’s note), he made his films… he wasn’t locked into anything at all. But on the other hand, it weighed on him a little. But it’s so magnificent and crazy what he wrote“, he emphasized.
