Dany Boon : “They called me the radar”
“My mother put a hat on me to fix my ears. I took responsibility for 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 coming back into place!”he said at first.
Subsequently, he revealed: “The tragedy of my parents, especially my mother, was not having the means to have an operation. And fortunately! I would not have had the same career. Yes, yes, they made fun of me at the time. “School, they called me the radar, they asked me if I received M6.”

“My father is very strict, very hard on me. More severe with me than with the others because I am the eldestI must lead by example. When I tell him I want to be an artist, he looks at me and says: ‘Never. You’re going to be a tramp, is that what you want? He had it tough, he worked very young too. But that’s normal. The only link we had with the artistic world was television. Michel Drucker, the films, the film club. The television was the cultural source of the house, it was on all the time because it is a social asset”told Dany Boon

Something to reassure them. “As I am good at drawing, I go to a drawing school and for the first time, teachers ask me what I want to do, what my dream is. They taught me for four years the art of drawing, of illustration. When I graduated, they told me to be an actor, an artist, an author.he remembered.
Dany Boon then spoke about his first salary. “I have a salary of 400 francs and it’s extraordinary, it’s half of my mother’s salary. It’s crazy stuff, really.
