After seven years of good and loyal service, Benjamin Castaldi is leaving the ship. Indeed, as we revealed to you exclusively, Aurore Aleman’s companion has packed up and is leaving. “TPMP”. But it is not a “farewell”. In an interview given to Parisian this Thursday, June 22, the ex-host of “Secret Story” ensure that it is a simple “Goodbye” with “lots of love”. “I enjoyed myself by his side (Cyril Hanouna: editor’s note). I happened to be his joker and that allowed me to discover what it is to host a talk show because it is very different from a game or a show like “Loft Story””he greeted.
All is well between the host of the daily C8 and him as he wished to assure him when our colleagues ask him if the collaboration with the host was difficult: “No, I had a somewhat special status. I did not always participate in debates on social issues or current events, because I believe that I am more relevant to give my opinion on television”.

Everything is fine with Cyril Hanouna
A relationship so healthy that it is out of the question for him to intervene in the number in preparation for “Further Investigation” on Cyril Hanouna. He has not “never spit in the soup”because he “owes a lot” to the animator who gave him “reached out when few people did”. “Just for that, I will never say anything bad about him”promises Benjamin Castaldi.
And he will have much better things to do than “spit in the soup”. Indeed, in a few months a play of which he is the author will be played: “Bungalow 21” at the Théâtre de la Madeleine, with the sisters Mathilde and Emmanuelle Seigner in the roles of Simone Signoret (her grandmother: editor’s note) and Marilyn Monroe.
A family story told in a play
“I am extremely proud of this piece. It is a fascinating story that happened to my grandparents and which, paradoxically, was never exploited. In 1960, they settled in Beverly Hills because Yves Montand (the adoptive father of his mother: editor’s note) shoots “The Billionaire” with Marilyn Monroe”explains the companion of Aurore Aleman before continuing: “She is with her husband, the writer Arthur Miller, in the next room. Simone, who was good friends with Marylin, wanted to have a good time in Hollywood”.
Nevertheless “Montand deceived [sa] grandmother and the crazy thing is that the whole world knew about it.” “It made me want to do a play […] I immediately thought that the best person to write this story would be Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt”he concluded, proud of this choice.
Benjamin Castaldi, leaving to continue “Comme jaime”
Despite this project which will take time, Benjamin Castaldi is not closed to a possible new collaboration with “As I like”. The famous diet brand, with whom the now ex-columnist of Cyril Hanouna has worked for a long time. This collaboration has often earned him ridicule.
But the son of Jean-Pierre Castaldi has nothing to do with negative remarks. If the opportunity arises, he will continue to work with the brand: “I’m very happy to work with Comme j’aime. I know a lot of people who have lost weight thanks to them”. “And too bad if people sneer”he continues before making a telling comparison: “When George Clooney promotes capsules, we find it classy and when it’s Castaldi who plans everyone’s nose”. A behavior “so french” according to him.
