Dany Boon is faced with a delicate situation. At least that’s what the Irish Examiner says. According to information from the Irish media, the 56-year-old actor was the victim of a huge financial scam. A fraud that would have taken place between April and July of the year 2021. A blow for the star who recently confided in the issues related to celebrity. On the set of C à vous, Dany Boon explained that his son Noé had suffered from his popularity, especially when his flagship film was released. “He is 22 years old and a student in New York. He does literature and guitar. He is quiet, his father is not known there. It’s rather good. On leaving the Ch’tis, it was complicated for my children. He changed schools three times, he was getting bored at school”.
Millions of euros embezzled

If Dany Boon is one of Terry Birles’ unfortunate victims, he wouldn’t be the only one. For the moment, the scenario writer would still not have recovered his money. To be continued…
