Michel Blanc distinguished himself as much in the dramatic register as in the comic register. But let’s admit it: his character of Jean-Claude Dusse in “Les bronzés”, particularly in the second part (1979), on the slopes of Val d’Isère, remains the most legendary. And the French Ski School (ESF) has not forgotten this since it wanted to send him a tender message on LinkedIn, as spotted by BFMTV.
“The ESF instructors pay tribute to Michel Blanc, a skier who proved that one must never give up, in love as on a chairlift… The opportunity to have a moving thought for Jean-Claude Dusse as well as a wink look at Fernand Bonnevie, ESF instructor, one of the founders of ESF Val d’Isère and who taught him the famous stick stand.”
The publication refers to the scene in which Jean-Claude Dusse remains stuck on a chairlift but also to the one where his instructor gives him “a short lesson on the plant of the stick” before going “to have a glass of mulled wine”, until the character played by Michel Blanc breaks down.
Fernand Bonnevie, who was actually a ski instructor, died in 2013 at the very respectable age of 98.
