Guest of Jordan de Luxe, this October 24, 2023, on C8, Péri Cochin, former columnist for “We tried everything” revealed how, in the early 2000s, she revealed on the air, in Laurent Ruquier’s show, a scoop that she would have been better off keeping to herself…
“No one knew they were together“
She remembered: “I sometimes asked questions that were so insensitive. I don’t know if I would do it again… if I would do it again! I’m giving you an example that was so stupid but itchy, we couldn’t miss it. It was ‘One guy, one girl’ back then. Jean Dujardin and Alexandra Lamy
“.
About the couple, who were one on screen before being one in town, Péri Cochin remembered: “She came to the show and I salute her, she was super fair. And I had met him the day before, I was at the theater and I met them on the way out, they were a little hidden, something cute, there was no ambiguity. Nobody knew they were together. I saw that there was something going on between them in real life, and I couldn’t help but bring this story up on the air!”
Péri Cochin asked: “So tell us, you and Jean Dujardin, what’s really going on?” Opposite, Alexandra Lamy denied: “she defended herself, she said no no no”. And the columnist still insisted “But yes, but yes!” An unfortunate error, she admits today, explaining: “I realized afterwards that it was so inappropriate because his children didn’t know about it, and it wasn’t right to have done that, that’s it. But hey, that’s it, after all it’s also the world of TV, it wasn’t bad”.
“We like to look through the keyhole“
Moreover, Péri Cochin always assumes when it comes to celebrity gossip: “we like to look through the keyhole, we are vicious”. Fortunately, Alexandra Lamy did not hold it against him for long, she said finally.
