Can we manage to animate a daily newspaper that brings together hundreds of thousands of viewers every evening, and remain lucid without the help of certain substances? This is the question that internet users and viewers of “TPMP”. Indeed, for some, Cyril Hanouna could not ensure the animation of his program without “external help”. And others assure that, if he used drugs, he could never hold the reins of his show.
A bit annoyed by this eternal rumor, the host has precisely spoken on this subject. It was on December 13, 2022 that he wanted to make things clear. In particular after a journalist contacted the host’s entourage to try to extract information. “At the moment there is a journalist, he is calling everyone to find out if I am taking drugs”he explained on set before speaking directly to the journalist in question: “So I can tell him, it’s not worth looking for, I don’t take drugs. I’m restless by nature, you see my mother, you understand”.

Cyril Hanouna, accused of taking drugs, he defends himself
Indeed, according to Cyril Hanouna, his mother would have the same temperament as him when she “never smoked a cigarette”. “We don’t smoke, we don’t drink, we don’t do drugs”he continued to defend himself before finally concluding: “But on the other hand, we’re pissing you off. So let him continue his little investigation, he’s convinced…”. A few seconds later, the host called on Benjamin Castaldi to defend him on the subject. “I’m going to tell him something (to the journalist who accuses him of taking drugs: editor’s note), it was Castaldi who told me that. It seems that we can’t do a show like that every day if we take Drugs”continued the facilitator.
The opportunity for Benjamin Castaldi to speak and go in his direction: “It’s impossible. Firstly because it’s not good for your health…”. And Gabriel’s dad knows very well what he is talking about. Indeed, Cyril Hanouna asked him if he had ever taken it. “It happened to me… I started very young when I passed my BAC, I had heard of a product called the Computer, it was amphetamines”, he recalled. And no one was there to stop the columnist. He indeed indicated that he would have been promised “to learn much faster” in case he “took that”. An anecdote that did not fail to make Cyril Hanouna laugh. The latter calling out to remind him that, at the time, he was “already very stupid”.
