Carole Bouquet and Arnaud Ducret acclaimed
Asked by TV Star (edition of April 11) Pierre Palmade confided that thanks to this unit, he rediscovered his sketches. If his usual partner Michèle Laroque certainly missed him, he was delighted to have been able to give the reply to Carole Bouquet. “I did not choose Carole by chance because we share the same irony. Following the Large Restaurant [divertissement pour M6, NDLR], we became very good friends. She’s awesome, rock’n’roll! I who am not used to making movies and playing with great actors, I was very honored to play with her“, he declared. And to clarify that “Carole is a comic actress“. And with Gala (edition of April 14), Pierre Palmade specified that “the goal was to show that the texts can be played by other actors“. A more than successful mission since everyone was very invested and gave the best of themselves for a breathtaking result. And some were under pressure in the face of this challenge. “They came to ask me if they were doing well, if I was happy, if I didn’t feel betrayed. I realize that these shows have been watched and loved a lot. I would have done something cult in my life. It’s very intimidating, I blush when I’m told“, he concluded.
For her part, Michèle Laroque confided in our colleagues from TV 7 Days. The opportunity to reveal that she really appreciated being in a relationship with another personality. “Given the phenomenal success of the show, many actors came to see us play. Casually, we were beginning to be part of the French heritage. I was therefore not surprised to see so many prestigious names joining us. Arnaud Ducret, who plays my husband, really blew me away. I, who have so often played the guinea fowl scene with Pierre, as with Muriel, was absolutely not disconcerted in front of him. Through his precision in the text and his intentions, I felt that he had worked a lot“, she added.
There is no doubt that this adaptation will have the same success as that of Muriel Robin’s sketches in I love you hairstyle. Broadcast in 2020, it had gathered (with the replay) 8.3 million French people.
