I didn’t have the strength to go all the way, but I made the gesture”he admits to our colleagues before giving the details of his famous gesture and acknowledging that he had been unable to go to the end: “I put thepillow, I lasted twenty seconds.

Today, looking back, I don’t know if I’m more angry with myself for putting the pillow down than for not having left it until the end”.
