Gérard Jugnot was the first to speak on the networks to express his dismay, very early in the morning: “Fuck Michel… What did you do to us…“, he wrote on Instagram. In the same morning, Josiane Balasko published on Instagram: “Michel, my friend, my brother, my partner“. Also very touched by the situation, Christian Clavier broke the silence and paid a moving tribute to his friend, ten days after his death. This Monday, December 17, TV Magazine affirmed to the actor of What have we done to the good Lord? : “The sudden disappearance of Michel Blanc last October moved France…“.
