When the film Santa Claus is trash was released in 1982, three years after the play of the same name, it created controversy because many thought the title was too crude. Even, too familiar. However, as Thierry Lhermitte and Marie-Anne Chazel confided this Sunday, December 8, during their appearance on the show 1 hour with… on RFM, the original title of Jean-Marie Poiré's film – which was censored – was much more daring and would surely have created greater controversy.

Santa Claus is trash : Thierry Lhermitte reveals the original name

During this interview with Bernard Montiel, Thierry Lhermitte then declared that the original name for Santa Claus is trash was Santa Claus shot himself in the ass.Very elegant! Very pretty!“, the host then reacted, with a lot of irony. “But there was opposition“, then confided Marie-Anne Chazel – who plays the role of Josette in the film. Concerning this first title, the 72-year-old actor then remembered, with humor, a remark made to him by Gérard Jugnot “Jugnot rightly pointed out that you either have to be very clumsy or very skillful to shoot yourself in the ass with a gun.“, he then clarified. A remark which greatly amused the columnist of Don't touch my post but also the director!

A question to which the 72-year-old actor answered in the affirmative, assuring, amused: “I tried!
