At the start of 2025, Vincent Lagaf' will make his comeback on television on RMC Story with The Bigdilthe cult game that was the heyday of TF1 in the early 2000s. The host, now 65 years old, has already returned to filming. This Wednesday, November 20, 2024, he shared a video on his Instagram account revealing the new board of the 2025 version of the bigdil. “Hello everyone, people. Just one question to ask yourself: Are you ready??? Personally, I'm hot!”he commented enthusiastically to his subscribers. This return to the screen is a valuable opportunity for the host, who has gone through a period of professional slack over the last ten years.
Guest on the set of the show Legend at the microphone of Guillaume Pley this Wednesday, December 25, Vincent Lagaf spoke about his childhood marked by his abandonment and the meeting, decades later, with his biological mother.
“No sir, I want you to leave my house!” : his first meeting of Vincent Lagaf with his biological mother
It was while filming near Bernay for the film The Baltringue what Vincent Lagaf decided to take the plunge and reconnect with his biological mother. With the meager information in his possession, he manages to find her address and goes there, accompanied by his partner Nathalie. This moment that he hoped would be a step of reconciliation with his past turns into a terrible disappointment. The comedian returned to the day he decided to knock on his biological mother's door: “It’s my biggest sorrow, my biggest bout of tears.” Before adding “I come across a little bearded gentleman and I say to him: 'Hello, I'm looking for Mrs. So-and-so, is it here?' And at that moment, I see her coming out of her house. I say to her: 'Are you Lucienne?' She says to me 'Yes', I say to her: 'Can I speak to you?', she answers me 'No sir, I want you to leave my house!' And I said to him: 'But you don't know who I am'. I forget that I am Lagaf.”
His biological mother refuses to open the door for him. Vincent Lagaf, convinced that she recognized him as her son, returns to his car with a renewed feeling of abandonment. “I got back in the car and there I cried, I didn't know a man could cry like that. Nathalie says to me: 'What's the matter?' I tell him: 'I just got abandoned a second time by the same person, I'm shit…'.”
Vincent Lagaf made a phone call to his biological mother for a second chance
Determined that her companion be able to express himself, Nathalie convinces Robin Rouïl's father to make a phone call. Still parked nearby, he tries one last approach. “I call, luckily, she's the one who picks up. I tell her: 'Madam, you've just sent me away, don't hang up, I was born on October 30, 1959 and my name was Franck.' She says to me: 'Oh my God, I knew one day I would see you again.'” The two eventually agree to meet in a public place, where they spend six hours talking. This meeting, although late and unique, allows Vincent Lagaf to discover parts of his history. “She asked me never to say who she was as long as she was alive. I was the first child she had and she had two more children later, whom she called Franck. I am not a child of love, but a child who has been loved. She realized that she didn't have the means and the best future she could give me was for me to be adopted by a family who could afford to adopt me.” Vincent Lagaf will never see his biological mother again after this meeting.
