Like Patrice Laffont or even today, Olivier Minne, Jean-Pierre Castaldi was the master of the fort in Fort Boyard on France 2 for two years. Indeed, it was in 2000 that he took control of the famous game of the second channel, before being thanked by it in 2002. An eviction that he still does not seem to have digested to believe his words at Jordan De Luxe.
“They have already forgotten that I was master of Fort Boyard… Yes, it hurt me but hey… There, it’s over, that was 20 years ago”, he blurted out to the journalist who was very bitter about this experience. He has no regrets about his time in the fort, except that it didn’t last longer. “I was hurt to lose my toy. I had fun though”, regretted the one to whom no role has been offered to him for 20 years. Fortunately, to overcome this regret, Benjamin Castaldi’s father has been performing on the boards for several years.
Animals, or the taboo subject for Jean-Pierre Castaldi
These painful memories of his departure from Fort Boyard have already been mentioned when he was invited on Radio VL. At the time, Jean-Pierre Castaldi had the same speech. “I was fired like a thug after two years. There, I was very sad, because I would have continued. And at the same time, they did me a favor by leaving, because I kept a coefficient compared to children, teenagers, incredible, because on the Internet, we were a hit”he remembered.
Since then, water has flowed under the bridges but the father of Benjamin Castaldi does not forget anything. And when we talk to him again about Fort Boyard, the actor seems very annoyed. Especially on a point that makes it come out of its hinges: the removal of tigers from the screen in the name of animal welfare. “How far are we going to go? Don’t make me talk about that, I’m gonna say things I’m gonna regret”he swung at Jordan de Luxe before adding: “I’m going to have lawsuits on my ass, we’re in a society where we can no longer say what we think. That we don’t want caged animals, I don’t mind, but hey… We’re going to close the zoos then. An animal is made to live in nature, a tiger is not made to live in Europe but in the steppes, so here it is”.
