For what ? “Firstly because when you host a show called “Only the truth counts”, it’s difficult not to be the one who is the first to give the example of truth and transparency”, explained the inseparable accomplice of Laurent Fontaine, with whom he put their favorite show back on screen on C8 in 2023.
With a very combative, determined face, the host continued by explaining that he also wanted to bring a message of optimism to the attention of other victims of this disease in France. On his Instagram account, he was also reassuring: “I know I will win this fight,” he asserted, specifying that he was surrounded by “terrific doctors,” and that he was following treatment protocols which had made “considerable progress” in recent years, and that it was an immense opportunity for him.
He took the opportunity to highlight another cause for which he has been mobilizing for a long time: Charcot's disease, which according to him would only need to benefit from more financial support to be fought as well. “One day soon, we must be able to say that Charcot disease is being treated better and better in France, so help us finance research,” he said, full of hope.
