Four years after his decision to leave the animation of Meeting in unknown landFrédéric Lopez is preparing to meet the viewers of France 2. At the start of the school year, he will be at the helm of a brand new program called Sunday in the countryside. This will be broadcast on Sunday afternoon, instead of Can’t wait for Sunday which switches to France 3.
According to Frédéric Lopez during an interview for TV StarIt’s about a “little sister” of The unexpected parenthesis canceled in 2014 after two years of broadcasting. The host will receive personalities from different worlds to talk about in a house far from everything. He thus wishes to bringsincerity, humanity, authenticity, inclusion“.”The show will now reflect this movement of exodus to the countryside that followed the Covid, the happiness far from the cities that many people are looking for. And the lunch ritual the next day will be special“, he explained.
And for him to be delighted with the concept of the program: “At the time of The parenthesis, I almost had to chase away the guests of one lunchtime show, to be able to accommodate those of the next one. This time, each guest who wants to stay will have to introduce me to someone they admire, not necessarily famous.” A small guest list has already been set up and Frédéric Lopez revealed that viewers will have the opportunity to find out about his son, which he rarely talks about. “My son Victor and his girlfriend will be present“, he announced. All that remains is to find “a house in the Paris region“.”We finalize things“, he concluded.
He can’t stand me talking about him
The last time that Frédéric Lopez mentioned his son was in 2016 for Entertainment TV. “He can’t stand me talking about him. He is 20 years old and very independent. He does not want to be ‘son of’. When he has friends coming over, he removes all the pictures where we are together. He wants to manage on his own so badly that he’s just moved to a roommate and he didn’t want me to pay for a moving truck: he moved by tram! What’s funny is that I’ve always seen myself as an absent father, while he sees me as an ultra-protective father.“, he confided.
Frédéric Lopez has not been with Victor’s mother for a long time now. In 2016, he came out.
