Thierry Lhermitte discusses Michel Blanc's annoyance with his role as Jean-Claude Dusse in The Bronzed

But on the other hand, it weighed on him a little. But it’s so magnificent and crazy what he wrote“, he confided in front of Maya Lauqué and Damien Thévenot.
Michel Blanc not tender with Jean-Claude Dusse!
Michel Blanc himself assured on France 2 in 2019, considering this role “like a ball“. “Let's say that for five or six years, Jean-Claude Dusse, he stopped me, he held me from behind. But now… actually if I’m here it’s thanks to him!”he admitted, explaining that he no longer wanted to replay Jean-Claude Dusse in the cinema, not hesitating to tackle the third opus of Les Bronzés in passing. “Jean-Claude Dusse, the public has it at will, because the films are constantly on TV. I am no longer him physically, morally or artistically. But I'm happy to be called by his name in the street, it doesn't bother me“, he tempered all the same.
