Bruce Toussaint was on the set ofwhat time on France 2, Saturday April 8, 2023 to talk about her book Fortunately, she did not suffer. A book in which he addresses the tragic and brutal death of his mother Mercédès in 2021, at the age of 72. Victim of a heart attack, she suddenly collapsed in the middle of the street. In 2016, the journalist lost his father to skin cancer. “I did not think that this double deflagration was going to change my life to this extent”he confessed. “I was very lucky, I had parents who I was very close to, who loved me very much, whom I loved very much, who gave me everything they had and , especially a lot of affection”.
Léa Salamé asked him: “Is it difficult for you to visit your parents’ grave”.
A question that made the guest wince. “My daughter said to me two days ago, ‘Dad, are we going this weekend? I’ve found lots of excuses not to go. I can’t. […] I will have to go back because it will be several months since I went there. It’s very strange….”
The host asked several other questions to her counterpart from BFM TV. “What You Never Said to Your Dad”, “What Would You Like to Tell Your Children”. A little earlier in the show, Bruce Toussaint had been entitled to more cash questions.
Fiction or reality?
Léa Salamé wanted to know if the journalistic world presented in Nawell Madani’s mini-series, So far, so good was close or far from reality. “Are the news channels a world of violent competition where presenters spend their time, off-air, shooting each other in the leg?”. To this question, the forties answered with a smile: “Not all the time”. “Is it a universe where you snort coke just before you go on air”. This time, it is in the negative that he expressed himself. “Never seen that and never done that”retorted the ex-presenter of C in the air on France 5.
