Julia de Nunez and Victor Belmondo were surely expecting so many reactions. The interpreter of Brigitte Bardot and Roger Vadim in the biopic “Bardot” failed to convince fans and viewers. If the first two episodes of the mini-series recorded excellent scores when it launched on May 8, 2023, the other episodes have barely succeeded in convincing.
According Puremediathe last two episodes of the project only brought together “that” 1.86 million viewers, ie 10.2% audience share of the general public and 4.9% of the FRDA-50. In other words, it is the worst audience of the series. The Destination Ciné Twitter account, meanwhile, compared the scores over the weeks to prove that “Bardot” suffered a huge downfall.

“Bardot” did not convince…
“2,171,000 viewers (10.8% audience share) on Monday, May 15” And “2,911,000 viewers (15% audience share) at launch”. Consequently, “Bardot” becomes the mini-series launched on France 2 least followed. This does not detract from the talent of the actors who played the roles of Brigitte Bardot, Roger Vadim, or Gilbert Bécaud. But as far as the latter is concerned, it would seem that Mikaël Mittelstadt did not know how to convince the family of the artist who died on December 18, 2001. At least, his daughter, Emily.
Indeed, the latter granted an interview to Gala this Thursday, July 6. The opportunity for her to evoke the show tribute to her father, baptized “And now”which fans will be able to find at the Olympia on September 17, 2023, but also to give their opinion on the biopic broadcast on France 2.
… And in particular the daughter of Gilbert Bécaud
“It made me feel weird”said Emily, who was not yet born when her father dated the cinema icon of the 1950s and 1960s. “It’s my father’s life and intimate things, it doesn’t concern me!”, she continues before being frank and admitting that she was disappointed by the choice of the actor who played Gilbert Bécaud.
“It’s my personal opinion, it doesn’t change the series, but I find that the actor didn’t look like him at all. He wasn’t strong enough. As he’s my father, I inevitably had to hurt when someone tries to imitate it, even if it’s done well”, she laments. However, Emily Bécaud qualified her remarks and assured that she had found the series on Brigitte Bardot“Alright”.
