They had become friends on the set of “ Marie-Line and her judge »in 2022. Upon the announcement of the death of Michel Blanc at the age of 72, the singer and actress Louane paid tribute to his “ Michmich », as revealed by La Voix du Nord.
In this film, released in theaters in 2023, Louane plays Marie-Line, an energetic and noisy 20-year-old waitress, who meets a grumpy and depressed judge, played by Michel Blanc. If in the film this meeting turns their lives upside down, in real life, the two actors had become true friends.
« My heart is tight but you would probably be yelling at me, complaining and telling me that this is life and that it will pass. »wrote the 28-year-old singer in the caption of a black and white photo of the two of them posted on Instagram.
« You would do anything to make me laugh, as always. And you would succeed as always. Even in such a complicated moment. Thank you for teaching me so much, not just about work but about how to view life. My Michmich »wrote Louane who, let us remember, won a César in 2015 for “ The Aries Family ».
Michel Blanc confided on Europe 1 that he had a friendly crush on the young actress he nicknamed “ Links » : « We laughed a lot during filming. We laughed a lot because Louane is funny, because she is witty and because she is lively. We got along extremely well »he assured.
After the first screening of their film, the two actors hugged each other: “ We didn’t realize what the film was about as a whole. There were comedy scenes and scenes that are very touching. And in fact, I got caught at the screening because I found some things funny but I was very surprised by the extremely touching aspect of the film. And apparently Loulou too »Michel Blanc had again confided on the radio. “ We fell into each other’s arms a little at the end, we were both as moved as each other ».

In the press kit for the film, relayed by Télé-Loisirs, Louane recounted having set a strange bet on the filming of “ Marie-Line and her judge ». « At the beginning, I set myself a challenge: to succeed in calling it “ Mich-Mich” before the end of filming. It took me fifteen days. And after a month, the whole set called him that… Michel Blanc, he’s the coolest guy on earth. He’s so nice, so funny. Its shell is pierced faster than we think. And he’s a monster of an actor “, she then testified.
