We no longer present Thierry Lhermitte. The 69-year-old actor has met with many successes on the big screen with films such as “An Indian in the City”, “Les Bronzés” and “Le Diner de cons”. The one who will be found on May 25 in the poster for the film “Men on the verge of a nervous breakdown” returned to his rich career at the microphone of RTL.
Guest of the show “We redo the TV” yesterday, May 21, the co-founding member of the comedy and satirical café-théâtre troupe Le Splendid did not hide having lived through very delicate moments in his career. “There were moments of burn-out, not so long ago, when I was on tour a few years ago. I couldn’t anymore, I was going crazy“, he for example conceded.
But Thierry Lhermitte also returned to a television passage, at the beginning of the 90s, which he experienced surprisingly badly. He was then the guest of Bernard Pivot in the mythical program “Bouillon de culture”. “I expected interesting questions and the only thing that interested Bernard Pivot was to know what it was like to shoot love scenes with the director’s wife.“, he remembered. And the actor to continue his feelings following this experience. “The stupidity of these questions from a guy I admired enormously disconcerts me. It puts me under terrible stress. And when he finishes the interview, I have a terrible stomach attack, I start to sweat, I can’t stay. I was in a state, in horrible physical pain. I took off my microphone and left. I was ashamed, I thought it was the end of my career, it was so horrible to do that”he blurted out.
