It’s hard to miss Bernard Montiel: on television, he’s Cyril Hanouna’s accomplice in Do not touch My TV (even if he had been excluded during the presidential campaign, too friendly with the Macron couple). On the radio, he is on RFM every week and as if his schedule was not full enough, he also regularly receives guests on the Olympia TV channel (which can also be found on MyCanal).
This Thursday, May 5, it was Arthur Jugnot who came to see the presenter whom he knows well for a program in which we will surely find many anecdotes of the one who began his career very young, at barely 20 years old, in Most promising Actress, directed by his father Gérard Jugnot. A father to whom he is very close: both have shared the poster in 5 different films.
But Arthur Jugnot has always been a stage actor rather than a stage actor: loving contact with the public, the proximity offered by a theater, he has long staged theater or magic. At the moment, he is also appearing in a play, Black Comedywhich is played… at the Théâtre du Splendid, created by his father and all his friends (Thierry Lhermitte, Christian Clavier, Michel Blanc…) in the 1970s.
Rare secrets about his son Célestin
The play tells the story of characters who meet in an apartment in the midst of a power cut. The characters therefore do not see each other, but the spectator, meanwhile, sees everything… An original staging that allows you to realize all the talent of the actors, hilarious (Virginie Lemoine and Mélanie Page also play with Arthur Jugnot).
Received on the show this week, Arthur Jugnot was undoubtedly able to evoke this beautiful cast, this improbable story but above all the mythical room and which undoubtedly has a long history for him. But the actor is not just a “son of”… he’s also a dad! His little boy, Célestin, whose mother is Cécilia Cara, is indeed 9 years old and he seems to be in line with his father and grandfather!
“He’s already a complete jerk“, he had revealed. “Afterwards, I think that from my upbringing, with my father who told me: ‘Oh la la, take your time and be sure to do this’, I first want it to be a child who has fun like a kid.“Still, he would see him in a role with him.”All of a sudden, if when he grows up and says to himself: ‘Hey, I want to do this, I want to tell stories’, and for the right reasons, well, great. It means that I made him want to do a job, that I gave him a good example“, he said, touching on Europe 1.
