It is a day to mark with a white stone. On Thursday, September 29, 2022, the very last filming of More beautiful life took place in Marseilles. After eighteen great years of broadcasting, the cult series of France 3 has bowed out. In emotion of course.
Because after the final clap, an evening was organized with all the teams who have tried to bring the characters of the Mistral to life all these years. Images of this great moment were shared on social networks, where the poignant speeches of the emblematic actors were also revealed. Laurent Kérusoré, for example, posted his speech on Instagram. Present since the beginning of the series, in 2004, the unforgettable interpreter of Thomas Marci naturally could not contain her tears.
“I didn’t prepare anything because if I had prepared, I wouldn’t have been able to read it. I have so many things to tell you. I just want to look at you all. When I arrived, I had a small contract of six weeks because before we did not know if France was going to be homophobic or not. The answer is that it is not.“, he first said. And to continue with difficulty: “These six weeks have turned into eighteen years of happiness. This place, this plateau that I have in my heart. Thank you, thank you for your words, for calming me down often. I am emotional, hypersensitive. I thank you all for having crossed my path, because damn you are fabulous people all as much as you are. This Le Mistral bar changed my life, you can’t imagine how much. We changed the lives of millions of people… We can be proud to have had this absolute impact. Good job and thanks to all“.
Before starting the festivities with his game partners, the scriptwriters and producers and other members of the technical team, Laurent Kérusoré made a very strong gesture: that of to cut one’s hair. Indeed, just to mark the occasion and turn the page with his beloved character, he decided to part with his iconic wick that we have known him for so long. (See our slideshow).
