The show C à vous welcomed a famous couple this Friday, November 22, 2024: actress Muriel Robin and her wife Anne Le Nen. During the interview, the latter returned with emotion to the recent retirement of Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal, an event which seemed to have particularly affected her.
Anne Le Nen: “Rafa beyond having left his mark on a sport, he marked all of our souls”
Anne Le Nen made no secret of her admiration for the Spanish champion, praising his impact far beyond the tennis courts. “Rafa beyond having left his mark on a sport, he marked all of our souls. Because watching a Rafa match is seeing life“, she said fervently.
The actress then detailed the intense emotions generated by Nadal's matches, comparing each of his performances to a full-fledged life experience: “ Every match, I say to myself, oh yes, okay, that’s what life is like! It's fighting, it's breathing and it's also loving what you do with all your heart. Every match was flamboyant! He made me laugh, he made me cry, he made me scream, he made me doubt, he made me tremble… I had all the emotions with this man. »
“He accompanied my life, I felt old when he said his goodbyes”
Obviously very invested in Rafael Nadal's career, Anne Le Nen confided that she felt a real shock when his retirement was announced. “I felt old when he said his goodbyes, but I felt old!“, she said with a touch of humor. A remark which did not fail to provoke a reaction from her companion Muriel Robin.
Amused by his wife's comments, Muriel Robin did not hesitate to gently tease her live. “You shouldn't say that, there are people older than you nearby, it can make everyone uncomfortable“, she retorted mischievously, referring to the other guests present on the set.
A remark which aroused hilarity from the host Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine and the columnists, starting with Pierre Lescure who replied with self-deprecation: “I didn't care, I was already old before“. A complicit and good-natured exchange which testifies to the complicity of the couple formed by Muriel Robin and Anne Le Nen since 2006, and married since 2021.
