The interpreter of Joe the caba guest on the show several times, returned to a mishap she experienced on the show thirty years ago, during a duet with a great British singer… who did not calculate it ! In 1991, when she was at the height of her notoriety at only 21 years old, the young woman was invited by Nagui a few weeks following her emblematic blunder at the 1991 Césars ceremony.

Asked by Nagui in Taratata this Friday just after the series Simon ColemanVanessa Paradis returned with humor to this episode which deeply marked her, and from which she keeps a very bitter memory : “When we rehearsed, he didn’t look at me once. We didn’t talk, didn’t make eye contact while we were singing in front of each other. I thought… he didn’t want to be there at all and I could understand that too but it was very, very hard“ confided the ex-wife of Johnny Depp and mother of Lily-Rose. But finally, during the big show, the British singer, died in 2009 from stomach cancersuddenly changed his attitude… but Vanessa Paradis, more angry than ever, took her revenge!
Vanessa has taken her revenge!
Indeed, Willy DeVille, in front of the public and the viewers, looked with enthusiasm at his partner, and showed himself more complicit and charming than ever. Refusing the hypocrisy and bitter behavior of her colleague for one evening, Vanessa Paradis refused to play along, preferring to ignore him throughout the performance: “I think it was me who did the digging, I didn’t look at him, I was angry!” explained the fifty-year-old, to the laughter of Nagui, the guests and the public.
