In 2020, the relatives of Michel Drucker were worried. Just like his admirers. Indeed, the PAF star had to undergo a triple coronary bypass. To carry out this heavy operation, the facilitator stayed several days in the hospital out of sight. “My surgeon opened me a second time because of an early infection and he cleaned everything so that there was no risk”, he explained. For his recovery, the husband of Dany Daval is obliged to slow down. A difficult exercise for this workaholic. Now those bad memories are behind him. This Sunday, January 23, 2022, Michel Drucker gave an exclusive interview to Audrey Crespo-Mara for the Portrait of the week of seven to eight on TF1.
A born hard worker, the presenter can boast of having brilliantly succeeded in his career. In 50 years in the business, Michel Drucker has had the chance to interview countless public figures. Not being able to practice his passion anymore because of his health concerns would have been difficult for him… He would even have preferred to die. “I couldn’t bear the idea of doing a public job again when I was disabled. So I said: ‘It’s not worth it, you unplug’. Because for me, my life is my job. If I had come out diminished, handicapped on the neurological level, on the cerebral level, for me, it was not playable”, admitted Michel Drucker who hopes to carry out other projects in the future. “Health must last”.
If in the past Stéfanie Jarre’s adoptive father thought he was “indestructible”, he is aware that he has come a long way. In addition, his doctors wanted him to rest for a year and a half. Stubborn, Michel Drucker ignored their advice. As proof, the producer returned to the spotlight six months after his operation… To the chagrin of his family!
