This weekend, the 40th European Heritage Days were celebrated. On this occasion, the flagship presenters of France 2 and France 5 came together at the France Télévisions headquarters. In front of a particularly receptive audience, Augustin Trapenard, icon of The Great Bookstore, spoke at length with Laurent Delahousse. During this captivating exchange, Alice Taglioni’s companion particularly opened up about the guest who most marked him during his career journalistic.
From Guillaume Canet to Charlotte Gainsbourg via Bigflo and Oli, the fifty-year-old had the opportunity to receive a plethora of personalities in his 8 p.m. news. In February 2014, he even interviewed the talented Meryl Streep on the occasion of the release of John Wells’ film, A summer in Osage County. A meeting he will not soon forget.

Meryl Streep upset on the set of 8 p.m. on France 2
“When she came, she was particularly kind”revealed Laurent Delahousse not without a touch of emotion. “In addition, she was very moved because I played a passage from Maria Callas that she listened to when she was little and she started crying. I was very uncomfortable. It was an emotion that I wasn’t expecting. When I saw it, she is a very good actress, but I saw that there was something sincere and it was very unsettling. On the 8 p.m. set, we’re not used to that. She was very powerful, very strong and then she is a woman that I admire. I remain a little boy, I continue to be one when I see personalities for whom I have a form of admiration. Seeing them arrive is always something quite dizzying”. Touching confidences.
