At 63, Vincent Lagaf signs a new autobiography entitled “My name was Franck” and published on March 23, 2023. In this book, the former presenter of “Bigdil” recounts his life, his childhood, he who was abandoned by his biological mother, in his heyday on television through his hard knocks.
As he multiplies his appearances on television and radio, the former flagship host of TF1 was on Monday April 3, 2023, in the program “Loft Music” presented by Yvan Cujious on Sud Radio. During this interview, he notably returned to his estrangement with Jean-Marie Bigard, he who was very friendly with the comedian in the past.
“One day he had a reaction that knocked my ass off. We started at La classe together, we went to the restaurant together, I took him to work on the luggage rack of my 103 Peugeot. We really rowed, we did the 400 shots, we had a hard time. When it went well, we went to a gala together, I took him in the car a lot, we did a lot of sketches together, we shared black bread. And then one day, he freaks out.” explained Vincent Lagaf.

The former TF1 star who recently gave his opinion on the Palmade affair, then reveals that Jean-Marie Bigard refused to let them be invited to the same show a few years ago: So I’m calling him to ask him what is happening. And there, he said to me: ‘In your book, you said that you had taught me the trade and I cannot accept that’. I told him: ‘But Jean-Marie, I’ve never written a book’. So there was a silence and it’s true that we talk less now”.
He then specifies that it was his ex-girlfriend who played a decisive role in the start of Jean-Marie Bigard’s career: “I said at one point that I made him do his first fifty galas. It’s wrong, It was Véronique, my son’s mother, who made him attend his first ten galas. Jean-Marie Bigard’s first ten galas, it was Véronique who signed the contracts for him, who gave him the files, etc. And he never wanted to go into the second part. I said to him: ‘We draw lots who makes the second part.’ And he said to me: ‘No, I’m not going behind you, it’s a pain to go behind you .”
Looking back, Vincent Lagaf today says he is sad to have lost a friend: “At the time, I really resented him. I thought I had a friend, I thought I had a friend and no , it’s a relationship. Afterwards, when we meet, when we see each other, we don’t get on each other’s faces. We worked together, we do stuff, we meet, but he’s not my friend like Lellouche is my buddy. Philippe Lellouche, he’s my buddy, he’s my friend, I trust him.”
