After a whole life dedicated to the fifth art, journalist and cultural critic Philippe Tesson died at the age of 94 on Wednesday February 1, 2023, his family announced at Figaro.
The journalist breathed his last “peacefully and surrounded by his children”, at his home in Chatou, in the Yvelines, his family announced this Thursday, February 2 to our colleagues.
The opportunity to return to his most significant passages on the small screen. And for good reason, Philippe Tesson was regularly invited on television sets to promote books or plays.
A huge clash with Hapsatou Sy
Invited on the set of the “Grand 8” (C8) in May 2016 to promote his first play “The beef on the roof, the Cocteau years”, the late Philippe Tesson was also out of his hinges after a question from the columnist Hapasatou Sy about her fortune. Indeed, the companion of Vincent Cerutti had asked the theater man what he intended to do with his fortune.
“I am asking you a question about comments that are made in the media. I ask you, even if your fortune is only 1000 euros, is it if you rather want to leave your fortune, or the culture and the career that you had to your children? »had declared Hapsatou Sy… Enough to provoke the anger of the man of letters.
“What interests you? […] Listen I have money, when I had it I wasted it, when I didn’t have it I went bankrupt. It is a destiny of a free man, an entrepreneur and quite average in his successes. Sometimes I failed, sometimes I succeeded. In any case, what I intend to do with it is surely not to bequeath it to you. I intend to enjoy life, to make my friends, the people who work with me, and of course my children enjoy it”, he had declared before concluding by showing himself much more saw: “I was going to say one thing, you know we go quickly in a thought, I intend to continue to live freely, and I fuck you! »
Something to surprise the columnist of the show “Grand 8” who certainly did not expect such a response from Philippe Tesson.
