Everyone has their own life, What is this granny?, Private hunting grounds, Retirement home 2… During her career, Chantal Ladesou has played in numerous cinema films. Revealed to the public by participating in the show La Classe at the end of the 1980s, it however took time to find a place on the big screen.
Tuesday April 30, 2024, it was on the set of C à vous, on France 5 that she remembered: “I did maids, janitors, small roles like that and then one day I managed to impose this slightly offbeat character”. So, Pierre Lescure recalled that she had passed the casting to play in Les valseuses, alongside Gérard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere. However, it was Miou-Miou who landed the role of Marie-Ange.
Chantal Ladesou: “He told me: ‘You just have to show them to me now’”
Cash, it was with disconcerting naturalness that the 75-year-old actress then declared: “I didn’t want to show my chest! My father warned me, he told me: ‘Don’t show your breasts, be careful, it’s a job where you will suffer’. So I was asked to take off my bra and my t-shirt, I said no and I didn’t get the role. I might not have had it either but there you go…”.
Finally, Chantal Ladesou blurted out: “And when I told this to Depardieu, since I filmed in Bonne Pomme (in 2017) with him, he told me: ‘You just have to show them to me now’”. To which Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine, a little embarrassed, replied: “Oh yes, and you didn’t“.

To lighten the mood, the actress then declared: “That doesn’t make you laugh! I feel like I’ve given up!“. While this made the host and her columnists laugh, Chantal Ladesou slipped: “However, he didn’t offer me anything, I’ll tell you! Well, yes, we had a fart competition! And I won!”.
In March 2020, at the microphone of Isabelle Morizet in There is not only one life in life, on Europe 1, Chantal Ladesou had already mentioned this anecdote. She then clarified that if she did not want to show her breasts, she offered to show a photo of her chest. “It’s not a photo of your breasts that I want to see, it’s your breasts living on camera”he would then have been told.
