An astonishing sequence. The actors Vincent Lindon, Benjamin Voisin and Stefan Crepon were guests of the second part of Yann Barthès' talk show, broadcast from 8:30 p.m. on TMC. They discussed their new film, “Playing with Fire,” directed by Delphine Coulin. Fifteen minutes later, Gad Elmaleh joined them on set to promote his new show, “Himself”, which he co-wrote with Roman Frayssinet. The host first asked him if he personally knew the French cinema star. “We saw each other, we spoke, we looked at each other. I know his work well. He's going to be a little shy and uncomfortable so he's going to say something weird right away.“, he announced.

Gad Elmaleh interrupted several times during his interview
In the continuation of the exchanges, the one who was Caesarized in 2016 for his role in “The Law of the Market” by Stéphane Brizé was amused by the words of Gad Elmaleh. “It's always nice to say that you missed something, when you've become a big star“, he reacted while Gad Elmaleh explained that he had not passed the Florent course. He also took issue with the typography of the poster for the actor's one-man show. “How many hours of discussions were there to find out if we were going to dot the i?“, he interrupted. And the main person interested in reframing it: “Vincent, there was an interview about the film, now it's my show.“
Then, while Yann Barthès wanted to know where his “mission” of “make people laugh“, Vincent Lindon attacked the host: “You can ask for it nicer, right?“. “I don't know about you, but I find this interview very weird. But I like Yann Barthès“, reacted Gad Elmaleh. Before finally answering the question: “I believe that we are evolving, the way we do our job is evolving…“. And the comedian to be cut off again by the actor unconvinced by his words: “I'm laughing because as much as it's been great so far but: 'I think we're evolving'… We're all evolving“,. “Wait, I'm just going to finish“, Gad Elmaleh tells him.
A few minutes later, the actor apologized: “Tonight I'm getting exasperated […] It's not my job to make people laugh. It was going well and I was too crazy. I apologize to you. It was ridiculous and he really blew my nose.” Puremédias invites you to watch the sequence.
