After four years on the show Deal Concluded, Julien Cohen has decided to bow out in 2021.”This is the end clap as far as I’m concerned for Deal Concluded (…) I shot 1557 shows, I saw 7204 people presenting me with objects, I bought 1813 of them, I took part in 330 days of filming in 4 and a half years, at the rate of three then four and up to six shows per day. I lived an extraordinary adventure“, he had announced to the Mail Picard.
The pace of work was becoming a little too difficult to manage, as the buyer with blue glasses then explained, especially for his wife Karine. “During those four and a half years, I went to bed early, I had a somewhat complicated social life for my wife because it takes a lot of energy to spin Deal done. And this energy, I put it on the set to the detriment of a lot of other things: no restaurants, no evening outings…“. Thus, this decision to leave the auction was made in agreement with his other half.
Since then, he has been following the program presented by Sophie Davant on France 2 from afar. And he has his own opinion on the new team of buyers. During an interview with Jordan de Luxe for Entertainment TV, Julien Cohen made it clear that he had no regrets about leaving as he didn’t like the dynamic at all. “To be honest, I happened to watch because I’m curious and want to see how it goes on set. Let’s say it was maybe more tonicmaybe there was more suspense“, he believes, comparing with his time.
And according to him, the problem necessarily comes from second-hand goods dealers. “It’s hard to tickle each other all day. I don’t know if it’s a casting problem… It’s a personality problem, speakers who are perhaps a little too soft, who will not go to the entrenchments of each person and who do not take risks. I took a lot of risk on the auction“, he recalled. It is therefore clear, the program is no longer the best business for the entrepreneur!
