The host of the show continues and worries about knowing if it was at that time that he slept with a cap. He responds in the affirmative. “My mother put a hat on me to fix my ears. I covered my ears. She told me 'you're very beautiful but I missed something: your ears. We look at you from the front and your ears are in profile. And so she put an elastic band on me every night, I slept with it and in the morning she took it off. The ears were back in place! The tragedy of my parents, especially my mother, was not having the means to have an operation. And fortunately! I wouldn't have had the same career“, testifies the director of Welcome to the ch'tis. Frédéric Lopez then asks him if it was a complex for him. “Yes, yes, people made fun of me at school. They called me the radar, they asked me if I received M6“, he remembers.
