Heir to the title of “star hunter”, Herby Moreau has built a reputation by interviewing the biggest international celebrities during prestigious events such as the Oscars and the Cannes Film Festival.
However, after years of dedication, the prince of the red carpets has bowed out. He died on Sunday November 3, 2024 at the age of 56. A drama for the environment…
He knew how to be in the right place, at the right time
“He was a real transmission link between American showbiz and people in Quebec“, confided the host Isabelle Racicot who “always admired his rebellious side. He wasn't afraid of anything, he went into places where no journalist went. To have the best clip, the extract that others didn't have, that was his trademark. (…) Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Paris Hilton: the stars, he found them all. He would enter the kitchens if necessary. He knew how to be in the right place, at the right time“.
If his colleagues are in shock, they are not the only ones. Artists are also affected by the disappearance of Herby Moreau.
Patrick Bruel pays tribute to Herby Moreau
Devastated, Patrick Bruel also took to his Instagram account to honor one last time the memory of the one he considered a friend.
“I can't believe I'm writing these words“, he said before adding: “You have been there from the beginning, since my very first day in Montreal… you have been there for all the important moments, so many first times, so many red carpets, so many surprises… so much daring!“
And to continue with emotion: “You will have been able to make us laugh, give us confidence, in two words, make artists shine, because that was your gift. Your work was above all your passion, your life… Thank you for this loyalty, this complicity, this respect and above all our bursts of laughter! You leave a big void… but also your mark. All my thoughts for your son, your mother, your family and your many friends…“A beautiful tribute which sparked strong reactions.
“Thoughts for you”, “With all my heart with you, his family, his friends”, “All my sincere condolences… to you and all those who knew him”, “With all my heart with you and thoughts for his family and loved ones”, wrote several Internet users. Valuable support for Patrick Bruel.
