Jean-Luc Reichmann is today one of the favorite TV hosts of the French. While he is at the height of his popularity thanks to his daily play The 12 noon shotsTF1 will devote a brand new documentary Jean-Luc Reichmann, an extraordinary destiny which will air on July 2. A documentary in which the star host of TF1 talks about his youth, his birthmark on his nose which earned, among other things, mockery from his classmates at school, his career and his personal life. All accompanied by the testimonies of his mother Josette and his brother Bruno.
This documentary is also an opportunity for Jean-Luc Reichmann to come back to the terrible motorcycle accident he suffered in 1984. At the time, the young Jean Luc was hit by a man in a vehicle and finds himself in the hospital for a year where he undergoes several surgeries. An accident that left him with some scars including a scar on his left forearm that he did not hesitate to show on the set of 12 noon shots in 2017 to make young people aware of the dangers of the road.
“I knew I had nothing to complain about but to win this fight”
Now 61 years old and nearly 40 years after this terrible accident, Jean-Luc Reichmann seems to have come out of it stronger, as he confided in an interview with Here is.fr : “I lived it as a fight, to fight and to continue to hope. When my mother said that I never complained once, I never realized it. I knew that I had not to complain but to win this fight. But like hundreds of thousands of French people who fight against disease and the scourges of daily life, it was indeed a fight and somewhere, I won it.
Nevertheless, Jean-Luc Reichmann does not seem angry with the bike since he spent a few days on a road trip with his wife Nathalie Lecoutre in the United States. Like what, an unfortunate accident does not always erase the passion!
