At 61, Michèle Laroque has a career as long as three arms. Comedian and acolyte of Pierre Palmade and Muriel Robin on the boards, the actress has also made a name for herself on the big screen. It will also be next May 4 on the bill of Tenora comedy by Claude Zidi Jr which she shares with the artist MB14, spotted in The Voice. He plays Antoine, a suburban rap fan, Michèle Laroque, Madame Loyseau, singing teacher at the Opéra Garnier. Two characters that everything opposes but that a single fight will bring together for life: lyrical music.
This point precisely made Michèle Laroque wince. What she finds honorable in the film is that the differences in no way prevent two people from being on the same level: “Madame Loyseau is great for that because she never asks him where he’s from, she doesn’t give a damn. She spotted his voice and that’s all that matters.” She also has a strong example that demonstrates it: her meeting with Amel Bent in the Enfoirés troupe.
Having become very good friends, Michèle Laroque and Amel Bent have a good time when they see each other to record the Enfoirés show. But despite their respective careers, the interpreter of My philosophy still feels very small in front of Michèle Laroque, on the verge of illegitimacy: “Amel Bent, we are very good friends, we get along very wellexplained Michèle Laroque. She said to me ‘But do you realize? Our paths, how were they different?“The only answer the 61-year-old actress gives her is the same every time:”But who cares Amel! What matters is how we get along, we’re not going to say ‘Hey, I did that, you come from there’. What matters is what we live there, not everything else.“
For Michèle Laroque, the most beautiful thing is not to take into account insignificant details that can curb a desire to go to the end, a trait that the character she interprets has in common with her: “What I also like in Madame Loyseau, in her transmission, is that she is free, she has no ego (…) and it’s something she tries to convey to Antoine, to the character.” The word of the end, and the fairest, will go to MB14: “Getting out of people’s eyes is the most important thing.“
