It's still scary, because it's still not nothing. But it's okay, it's over”he explained the next day on BFMTV.
Friday September 29, 2023, in an interview with Le Parisien, the 79-year-old actor indicated: “I'm scared of that, a stroke, obviously, at the age I'm getting, this kind of thing can happen. Well, I wasn't conscious, I lost consciousness”before sliding: “I always feel like sleep is deathso I try to escape it”.
Pierre Arditi: “I’m going to die, like everyone else”
Wednesday November 6, 2024, on the set of C à vous, on France 5, the husband of Evelyne Bouix assured that over the last thirty years, he only slept two hours a day. “And it was going great!”he clarified. To which Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine responded: “But does death annoy you more than it scares you, or both?”.
In complete transparency, Pierre Arditi said: “Death annoys me. It doesn’t scare me because I have no choice anyway. It's pointless to take life seriously since it's an adventure from which you never come out alive. So it's not useful! No, but that's how it is, I'm going to die, like everyone else”. With a smile on his face, he added: “What annoys me is that I don’t understand why this should continue without me!”.
Pierre Arditi: “I will have all of death to rest!”
Friday November 3, 2023, already on the set of C à vous, the actor assured that he was not going to slow down the pace.
“I'm going to have all of death to rest! You don't want me to rest before my time!”he exclaimed, before estimating: “Retirement is death. It doesn't exist! Do you know an actor who quit before his time of death? No. Or maybe there's an accident, he no longer has his memory, something like that. Otherwise, it doesn't exist.”.
Saturday February 3, 2024, in What a time!, Pierre Arditi had already confided that he was not afraid of death. “It doesn’t worry me, but it annoys me. I’m not afraid of death”he indicated that his mother always told him: “Death is like when you sleep, but you no longer dream“.
“She terrified me. She thought that sentence would reassure me for the rest of my life. In reality, she terrified me.
[…] This is one of the reasons why I sleep extremely little. I don't want to realize that I'm not dreaming.”he added.
