These last few months have not been easy for Jean-Marie Bigard. The 68-year-old comedian distinguished himself by sometimes virulent media outings and his asserted anti-vax and anti-sanitary pass side. The one who confided to be finishing writing his show called “Parole de complotiste” at Point Virgule was recently the guest of the show “Chez Jordan” for the Télé Loisirs site.
And once is not custom, the companion of Lola Marois confided with the outspokenness that characterizes him. The comedian to whom we owe cult sketches like “the bat” or even “letting go of sluts” addressed his penchant for the bottle, which damaged him for several years. “There was a time when I had a good rhythm. On Gérard Depardieu’s scale, I was 8. I drank four or five bottles of wine a day. Laughing, without ever being drunk, huh!“, he exclaimed.
The artist, who also admitted to being “broke” today despite having amassed millions of euros, spoke about this excessive consumption of alcohol. “I don’t want to praise my blood alcohol records, but about fifteen years ago, with a friend, when we went out to a place to dance, we drank a bottle of whiskey together, on leaving fresh as a roach. I was quite fond of it”, recognized the one who was recently ousted from the “Big Heads”. An episode of his life that could have cost him dearly… “I was between life and death in the American hospital. Do you know that there is room service? A guy with a little cardigan. And I was ordering my bottle of wine. It happened to me, barely after drinking two small glasses of wine to throw them up in the toilet”he said.
