Gad Elmaleh is back on stage in a comedy show called “Himself”. The actor currently in promotion spoke to our sisters at Version Femina about the subjects he will address during his show and he mentioned in particular his meeting with Pope Benedict XVI. “I describe it in the same way as my mother's visit to the Palace of Monaco: 'I was able to integrate this very closed place, I have to tell you about it!'. It's a comical process that the Anglo-Saxons call a fish out of water and which reveals, concerning me, the famous blunder syndrome.. “But you know, like blond, it's just a concept, because we're all someone's idiot. At home, this complex has always existed and, for years, while shopping, I Even though I paid and took the ticket, I was still afraid that the security gates would ring.”he admitted.
Gad Elmaleh wanders between several universes
On this syndrome, he had already said a few words on the airwaves of RTL in 2021. The one who shared the life of Charlotte Casiraghi for 4 years and had a boy named Raphaël declared: “It's more of an observation about me and me carrying myself around in several universes. There is Monaco, there is the United States, arrival in France and fatherhood. Monaco is part of a moment in my life that is true, but I talk more about my inadequacy than I make fun of the princely family.” And to conclude: “What I try to explain to people is that there is no one world that is better than the other. They complement each other (…) But I like to play that, I like to act stupid, I like to show that I am unsuitable, it's a bit of comedy“.
The comedian explains why he does not have French nationality
The comedian born in Casablanca, Morocco, in 1971, was the guest of Laurent Delahousse on January 5 at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. If he has Moroccan nationality, he also has Canadian nationality since he flew in the 1990s to the land of maple syrup and Montreal precisely to study but also to take his first steps in humor. Asked about the fact that he still did not have French nationality, he explained: “I do not have a French passport, I do not have French citizenship. It's not a belief. To be very honest, I started the process a long time ago, and It was such a job that I gave up.”. Then to continue with frankness: “I liked the idea of being an immigrant in France for whom things are going very well and who lives the life of the Frenchwho does not need to become French to be loved, appreciated, helped initially by the French”.
