This Wednesday, August 24, TF1 broadcast, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the death of Jean-Luc Delarue, the documentary Jean-Luc Delarue: 10 years already, of excess success. The opportunity to look back on his fight against double cancer, which finally made him succumb at the age of 48, but also on his marriage to Anissa, three months before his death, or the many scandals that marked his life. Especially the plane. In the film, we can discover the images of him untenable, a salmon in his hand, aboard the craftin 2002.
Totally improbable images where Jean-Luc Delarue holds a salmon in his hand and jokes with Patrick Ballarin, associate director of Reservoir Prod. “Jean-Luc liked to clownwe didn’t see him on TV that, he had a talent as a humorist well above average“, says his former partner. And on the plane, he was particularly unmanageable. According to the confidences of some of his friends, like Fabrice Gueneau. “On the plane, if he wasn’t attached, it could overflow a little and you suddenly put him next to the window to be on the side of the aisle so that the hostess who passes by can be a little quiet, otherwise he would piss her off the two minutes, it was not possible“, he says about the host star.
Touching and slapping on board a plane to South Africa
Alain Wais, another of his relatives, confides that Jean-Luc Delarue was actually very scared on board a plane. “He was scared on the plane so he took pills to calm down, he drank on the plane so stuff happened on planes“, he said. And the passengers of Air France flight 990, connecting Paris to Johannesburg, paid the price in February 2017. In the middle of the night, on board the plane, Jean-Luc Delarue attacked passengers and flight attendants. Jogging, barefoot, he was pacing the vehicle’s center aisle and pinching the buttocks and “groped“some members of the Algerian women’s football team, reported the JDD. The stewards and hostesses who suffered multiple touching, slaps and bites ended up having to handcuff him until landing.
