Michel Blanc: his former acolytes salute his memory
During the interview, the famous presenter also sought to understand the reasons which pushed Michel Blanc to gradually move away from Splendid. “He was one of the first who wanted to live his life more individual.“, underlined Alice Taglioni's companion. To which Gérard Jugnot responded modestly: “He has always been like that Michel“. “Yes Michel, he was a little fed up with group writing and he had already thought about doing a show on his own“, confirmed Thierry Lhermitte. “To think of him“, Marie-Anne Chazel also slipped. “He had his own sense of humor, and we respected him. For us, it was obvious“.
A choice which in no way impacted their beautiful friendship. In the columns of Tele-Leisure in 2019, the essential interpreter of Jean-Claude Dusse spoke in complete transparency about this turning point in his artistic career. “I am an only child, I was raised alone, I have difficulty in groups. Besides, I left the Splendid first”, he reported. “At the beginning, we had the same tastes, we shared everything, we lived together. But there comes a time when you have to leave mom and dad to exist alone.
