For a tall guy of 2m07 that he is, it is difficult to believe that Eric Antoine can be reached. And yet he lived a hell of a mishap a little over a year ago, which took him to the hospital and shook him a lot.
The juror of France has an unbelievable talent shared this not-so-famous memory on November 7 on the show Good Sunday on RTL. A memory that concerns his participation in Fort Boyard in July 2020. “I ate a chili pepper but I actually had a dislocated shoulder so they give you painkillers all day. But what I didn’t know and the Fort doctor didn’t know either, is that you should not eat chili on painkillers. This is inappropriate“, he told presenter Bruno Guillon.
Result, direction emergencies for Eric Antoine. “I spent the night in the emergency room with an intestinal crisis. I never experienced this, I cried, I cried. I was with my friend Jérémy Ferrari in the next room who woke up who said to me: ‘But what’s wrong with you?’ I was screaming so much. I was sent to the ER and spent a few hours there“, he specified. A setback that the 45-year-old magician takes today with a lot of hindsight. Especially since he knows that to participate in Fort Boyard is never without risk. “Anyway, to Fort Boyard, there are a lot of injuries. But we are not told because we are there for a good cause“, he concluded with humor.
Eric Antoine is now in any case well and truly back on his feet and viewers can find him every week in France has an unbelievable talent on M6 alongside Hélène Segara, Marianne James and Sugar Sammy. A show in which it is not he who takes the risks but rather the candidates.
