As usual, Faustine Bollaert will have a lot of difficulty containing her emotion next week in her daily show It starts today. Indeed, Maxime Chattam’s companion will receive personalities who will speak openly about difficult moments in their past or their illness. The former host of Right pricePhilippe Risoli, will for example return to his father’s last words before his death.
“I think that my father, let’s be clear, always loved me from the beginning. But let’s say that he didn’t express it. It’s this scene that I will never forget in my life . He looks at me vaguely and he says to me like this (a hand gesture). “Go away, I don’t want you to see me die.”, he will explain to the host. At that moment, Philippe Risoli is aware that he will not see him again. The next day, the host received a phone call to tell him the sad news. But the doctors relayed his dad’s last words to him: “And so the next day I get a phone call. ‘Your father left and just before he left he told us to say ‘tell my son that I love him'”.

Nathalie Simon took responsibility for her illness thanks to her daughter
In addition to Philippe Risoli, Faustine Bollaert will also receive Nathalie Simon. The ex-athlete turned presenter has suffered from vitiligo since the birth of her daughter in 1998. An illness that she hid for a long time and which she had great difficulty coping with. “I made up my hands. So I was the queen of make-up like make-up in the cinema. Can you imagine the hell of having creams? She looked like a princess, I was always like that (she shows the palms of her hands )”she will confide to Faustine Bollaert.
In the end, it was his 25-year-old daughter who allowed him to take it on. Particularly when she told him: “but anyway mom, you spend so much time camouflaging yourself… We young people today don’t care a bit about that. And on the contrary, we even affirm the difference”. A sentence that made it possible to change everything as stated Nathalie Simon. “Look, you’re right, I’m not going to hide it anymore.”, she would have replied. Today, she fully embraces her difference.
