New year, new resolution for Jérôme Commandeur? The actor and comedian received the Grand Prize at the 25th edition of the Alpe d’Huez Festival for Irreducible, his new film as a director expected in theaters in June. And this beautiful professional period is accompanied by a personal change: the start of a diet.
It’s on the set of Day-to-day, on January 24, that Jérôme Commandeur mentioned it after being teased by Yann Barthès. “You told us: ‘You’re going to see what you’re going to see, I’m on a drastic diet, physically I’m transformed’“, thus attacked the host from the outset to justify the launch of the music of Gym Tonic, Véronique and Davina’s cult fitness show. “Ah yes, so it was very treacherous as I thought. I did not think to bother France with this: I am at the beginning of the diet and I have lost between one and two kilos. But we never talk about it! We always talk about people who have lost fifteen kilos, twenty kilos. We’re not talking about people who lose a kilo“, reacted the 45-year-old artist.
Jérôme Commandeur, who is also expected next year in the mega production Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom, added : “I didn’t think we were going to start with that, but I start, I lost a kilo and the nicest people, of which you are not apparently one, tell me that it shows.“The comedian then offered the host the sweater he wears on the poster of his excellent show Very soflty (renamed Always smooth for his renewed cover),”a bit big” for Yann Barthes. “We don’t make XS for you“, kindly mocked Jérôme Commandeur, well aware that between them, there is a glaring difference in size. “This will serve as a comforter for the evening“, he outbid.
There is no doubt that the comedian will be able to lose a few extra pounds thanks to his passion for … zumba! The César audience still remembers his sketch at the 2017 ceremony. Invited at the last minute to present a prize, he said: “They would have called me sooner, I would have gone on a little diet, I would have gone back to zumba, I love it. But hey, between 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. what do you want to lose? A tooth ?“Will he be transformed at the next ceremony? Answer at the end of February…
