France loved him sincerely, and perhaps more than he dared to imagine: the tributes and the emotion aroused by the brutal disappearance of Michel Blanc throughout the weekend are proof of this.
Like a bad joke that wasn’t really a joke, the death of Michel Blanc broke the hearts of his friends. Gérard Jugnot could not hold back his tears on the evening of Saturday October 5 in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes). The singer Jean-Louis Aubert preferred to dedicate a song to him. He and the actor had passed the same benches in high school.
Indelibly linked to the hearts of the French, the brutal departure of Michel Blanc ignited the imagination on social networks, where tributes also multiplied, even on the accounts of two institutions, the SNCF and the French Ski School ( ESF). “This time it’s not a misunderstanding“, wrote, in a nod to the Tanned people go skiingthe rail carrier. A song was also dedicated to the late actor.
