Invited on the set of C à vous, the autobiographer and film journalist Jean-Pierre Lavoignat, returned to his last exchange with the actor of Les Bronzés. “It’s a double shock, it’s infinitely sad and it’s like losing a friend (…) I’ve been spending my time with them on the phone for three months, in real life. So it’s very disturbing to think that I spoke to him the day before yesterday and that he was fine. He gave the final validations of the book”confides the journalist.
Michel Blanc: “I received a message from Balasko…”
Thanks to this project, the biographer indicated that the actors had “somewhat reconnected, even if they didn’t need that.” “I received a message from Balasko, three days ago, telling me: ‘It’s still moving to look at all our life scroll’”, he revealed. “That’s exactly the feeling they all had. There, even more today, obviously”.
