Jamel Debbouze's success reached its peak with the humorous series H. That being said, the actor would not have had an exemplary attitude.

This series was wildly successful in its time… Indeed, H introduced big names such as Eric Judor, Ramzy Bedia and especially Jamel Debbouze. All three played the characters of Aymé, Sabri and Jamel, respectively nurse, stretcher bearer and switchboard operator in a Parisian hospital supervised by Clara Saulnier (Sophie Mounicot), a narcissistic and zealous head of department, Professor Strauss, a surgeon who gives the impression of having received her diploma in a surprise bag and Béa, a doctor mistreated by her colleagues, Catherine Benguigui, interpreter of the latter, did so. astonishing revelations on the set.

Jamel Debbouze undrinkable according to Catherine Benguigui

Although already known to the general public at that time, Jamel Debbouze made his debut in H. If the series has aged poorly according to some, it made an entire generation laugh, with macabre, sometimes schoolboy jokes and always offbeat humor, absurd, playing on stereotypes and preconceived ideas. Some even say that the series predicted Pierre Palmade's accident… But whatever it is, Catherine Benguigui doesn't have good memories of it. And for good reason, she deplores the abject behavior of Jamel Debbouze. It is moreover this behavior which marked the departure of the character of Béa from season 3.

The actor often has absent subscribers

“I played uglydeplores Jamel Debbouze's former playmate. In fact, the character never responded, it served the series, but I couldn't take it anymore.”. Bad luck for her, the producer did not want to develop her character, to her great dismay. So she decided to slam the door… Especially since the main actor in the series was doing what he wanted… And that also annoyed her quite a bit. “We were waiting for Jamel all the time, I couldn't wait any longer for him,deplores Catherine Benguigui at the microphone of Jordan de Luxe. But I regretted doing that, I had depression afterwards.” she continues.

H: the reason for Catherine Benguigui’s departure finally revealed

Those who have seen the H series necessarily remember the relentlessness that Béa endured throughout the episodes. Reduced to his weight or his supposedly unattractive physique, the character mainly served to show off others. “I was fed up, even if it was a character, of getting in the face, confessed the one who has long been taken for Jean Benguigui's daughter in an interview, this time given to Télé 7 Jours. I wanted there to be an evolution, and it was going in circles. It's a choice that was difficult to accept at first, but I was so unhappy at the end that I didn't see the point.”. However, she has good memories and a certain tenderness for his co-actors, including Jamel Debbouze.
