Jacques Chirac’s driver speaks
A persistent rumor which caused Jacques Chirac’s driver to react. André Demullet, Jacques Chirac’s employee from 1977 to 1996, reacted to our colleagues at Gala. “It’s wrong !”, assures the author of the book On the road with the boss. This therefore has the merit of being clear.
As a reminder, this is not the first time that André Demullet has spoken about the film Bernadette. “I won’t go and see. I prefer to keep the memory of what I experienced. I don’t like people who talk about things they don’t know. Claude Chirac’s anger is completely legitimate. She “It’s bad not to have been warned. And then, Madame Chirac is still alive, it seems that people have forgotten her!”he confided in the columns of Gala.
Concerning the main actress of the film, the latter also shared his strong opinion on Catherine Deneuve: “I’m not at all convinced. As for Laurent Lafitte in Tapie, it looks very bad. They could have found better… In any case, there is only Bernadette Chirac to play Bernadette Chirac.”
