Since 2009, he has made millions of viewers die of laughter on M6 Monday to Friday at 8:30 p.m. Scenes of households

Colleagues to whom Frédéric Bouraly confided this Monday, a few hours before the special evening of Scenes of households. The opportunity for the actor to evoke his character’s love for politics and which played a few tricks on him a few years ago. But it’s not just “José” who appreciates politics. Indeed, at the microphone of Buzz TV from Figaro, Frédéric Bouraly recognized and assumed his interest in this field.

Frédéric Bouraly did not want to “parasite” the election
“Ah totally. It’s always fascinated me”he assured before specifying: “But I know how to distinguish between José the mayor, who is a character. It’s not me. I’m not Coluche who wants to go and introduce himself. It’s a character who introduces himself”. Subsequently, Valérie Karsenti’s sidekick remembered a funny situation which dates from 2012: “we broadcast all the scenes where I campaigned during a real presidential election, under François Hollande. We saw my campaign à la José”.
But during the presidential campaign of François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy, the 63-year-old actor had fun, with his teams, sending “posts for fun: ‘vote for me’, really bullshit”. “In two days, there were 2,500,000 people who responded to us. They were ready to vote for me. We found out about it from the journalists. Lots of people had cut out the official thing for me and voted blank”, he remembered, almost admiringly. However, this situation made him slightly uncomfortable and even made him “panic” : “Because I didn’t want it to take on a Poujadist side, like ‘they’re all idiots’. I didn’t want to interfere with a serious election.”. In the end, “José” did not interfere in the presidential election but still managed to become “mayor” of his town.
