Franck Gastambide: Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters
During the interview, Yann Barthès also wanted to discuss a significant moment in the career of Franck Gastambide: his obtaining the title of Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters.
On July 12, the actor took to his social networks to announce the big news to his subscribers: “Sir, I have the honor and great pleasure to announce to you that I have just awarded you, as part of the winter 2024 promotion, the rank of Knight of Arts and Lettersone of the main distinctions among the four ministerial orders of the French Republic“, could we read on the letter posted on his Instagram account.
And in the caption: “Mom… I am a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters. Eternally bottom of the class, I thought for a long time that I was simply worthless, a good-for-nothing. Until I discovered that I actually had several invisible disabilities that prevented me from studying and especially from understanding like others. Dyslexia and dyspraxia prevented me from having a normal schooling and obtaining diplomas. I had to find another way to succeed“.
Emotion sequence in Daily
On TMC, Franck Gastambide did not hide his immense pride. “It’s a satisfaction from the moment I dared to take it on. First there was this moment when I didn't dare say it because I told myself that people were going to make fun of me. I never had a diploma in my life because I had invisible disabilities that prevented me from having a normal education. And at 45, I wrote to my mother to tell her that I had obtained my first diploma“, he confided before Yann Barthès lifted the veil on the touching message that the actor sent to his mother for the occasion.
Moved to tears, the forty-year-old had great difficulty in containing himself: “It can make me cry, I don't have to read it“. A touching sequence which provoked strong reactions.
