Who wants to be my neighbor? In What an era this Saturday January 20 on France 2, Yvan Attalcame to promote his new film A roll of the dice, in which he plays alongside Guillaume Canet and Maïwenn, was surprised to find… his next-door neighbor! In fact, the businessman Marc Simonciniwho is a juror on the show Who wants to be my partner? on M6 alongside Tony Parker and Kelly Massol, was also a guest on the show hosted by Léa Salamé. And the two men know each other very well since they have been neighbors for a long time, especially during the Covid confinement…And the least we can say is that they keep funny memories from this period!
“We were neighbors. He made me go through hell. Covid, I’m all alone at home. He was my downstairs neighbor. The music was loud, but loud, loud, it starts at 10 a.m.!” Yvan Attal weighs in on the creator of Meetic, before continuing: “I’m all alone at home for two months, because Charlotte was in New York, with the children (…) Music at 10 p.m., loud music, I say to myself: But is he partying during Covid? C I’m at full blast, I’m waiting, I tell myself 10 p.m., 11 p.m., midnight, 1 a.m., I can’t take it anymore“. Jane Birkin’s son-in-law, tired and annoyed, ends up calling his neighbor on the phone, to order him to turn off the music… But Marc Simoncini doesn’t pick up!
The punchline of the story is hilarious!
“He doesn’t answer. I leave another message… So I go downstairs. I go downstairs, music loud, but it doesn’t stop! I wait between two songs to ring (…) Nothing! I say, It’s not possible, there’s a dead person. I call the police, frankly, I’m freaking out, I was scared. Nobody came, they didn’t come. And at 4 o’clock, the music stops” explains the 59-year-old actor, before letting his friend Marc Simoncini close this funny story: “I was at home in the south, we were a little drunk, we were having fun doing a blind test. Except I had gone to the wrong speaker when I went to bed. ! I went to bed, put the phone down, and it played the blind test in Paris !” A very funny sequence, which greatly amused the spectators and the guests of Léa Salamé and Christophe Dechavanne.
