“Ah no, we must not exaggerate! That’s not possible!”. “That” is the possibility of falling in love with a woman over 50 years old. These words are those of the writer Yann Moix in an interview given to Marie Claire in 2019. An interview that still follows him and on which his detractors, and even those close to him, rely on to tackle or tease him. The proof, this Saturday September 30, 2023 on the set of What an era.
In the show hosted by his ex-colleague d‘We’re not in bed, Léa Salame, Yann Moix had to explain this “stormy” outing again. The host in fact recalled the writer’s statement when she spoke to Sophia Aram who explained the passage of fifty years. “Does the 50-year-old woman, now that you are liberated, delivered, all that, still feel desirable? I say that for Yann Moix, do you remember what he said about the 50-year-old woman? A big bullshit”said the host with a touch of humor.

Yann Moix explains his comments made in 2019…
“There has always been a misunderstanding in this story”the writer corrected before continuing: “At the time I was advocating the age difference. As I was 50, the journalist deduced that I could not desire 50-year-old women.” The one who collaborated for a long time with Laurent Ruquier did not stop there and added: “What disturbed me was that I’m not Mick Jagger and all these women say ‘oh damn, he doesn’t like women over 50, what are we going to do?’ What does it matter to them? It’s not very serious.”.
The opportunity for Zahia Dehar, evening guest, to speak and partly confirm her remarks: “But what you said was very interesting. You said out loud what many men ultimately think. Because for men we have an expiration date. It’s true, it’s quite present”.
…The opportunity to tackle Brigitte Macron
Despite the support of the young woman, Yann Moix did not agree with her statements. “There are two things. First, there are people who prefer much older women, and there are also women who prefer much younger men, Brigitte Macron, etc. I am a Brigitte Macron man”he corrected with humor before Léa Salame don’t cut it: “Besides, that’s not entirely true, Yann. You’re lying, you’re having sex with 50-year-old women!”. A statement which did not fail to make the set of the show hilarious. France 2.
