Thierry Beccaro was the guest of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine in C to You, this Monday, November 8 on France 5. The former 65-year-old host came to present his new testimonial book, My resilience to me (Plon), in which he tells how he managed to build himself in a toxic environment. On the same stage where he had, for the first time evoked his childhood tinged with violence, Thierry Beccaro returned with a lot of emotions to his painful youth. Facing the chroniclers, he said: “I forgave my father and in this book I tell how I built myself, really”.
Thierry Beccaro, known to the general public for having hosted the game show Motus on France 2 for 29 years, shared what was his biggest disappointment. “The only regret I have is that my father never asked me for forgiveness. I would have liked him to tell me. This is my biggest regret.”, he said, hoping that his message would be heard by his mother, also the victim of the beatings of his father. “Maybe mom is watching us tonight”, he said, looking at the camera.
As soon as he entered the set, Thierry Beccaro shared something that annoys him: the use of the word “resilience” that we hear everywhere, even a little too much according to him. “This word is used so much at the moment, in all sauces. ‘Climate and resilience’, ‘the French are resilient during the pandemic’ … It is very particular resilience. It is not a word that ‘ we can use it through and through, because I didn’t want to be resilient “, he wanted to remind. Before giving the exact definition of this term. “Resilience is to continue to live, it is to succeed in getting out of it, but always having this famous backpack on my shoulders. Resilience is all that I have succeeded in building” .
