“We thought I had a small form of autism”: Jarry speaks with emotion of his childhood

This is a very touching and intimate Jarry who gave himself up against Frédéric Lopez. The 45-year-old comedian (real name Anthony Lambert) spoke emotionally about his childhood and his life different from that of his brothers. “I stayed alive thanks to my motherimmediately launched the one who bears the maiden name of his mother as a stage name. When you are in an environment and the least square centimeter of this environment does not correspond to what lives inside you, you have the impression of being an extraterrestrial. And me, I felt like an alien because I was dancing in my room, I was reading poetry while my brothers were hunters, fishermen, played fight… I dreamed of dying on stage in slow motion, I practiced for hours in my room and I didn’t speak. Everyone thought that I had a small form of autism because I couldn’t speak.”

I loved working out doing fashion shows in my mother’s heels

Jarry was born prematurely following a car accident while her mother was seven months pregnant. The comedian said he had a hard time living his difference from his more masculine brothers. “I was very effeminate, very feminine. I did not understand why. In addition, I saw my brothers who were doing judo, who were good guys. I said to myself: ‘Why has life made this choice for me?’ I experienced it as an injustice. I said to myself: ‘But I should have been born being more virile, more masculine’ and I loved working out doing fashion shows in my mother’s high heels, this is still not normal! And I blamed myself, I told myself that there was necessarily something about me that was missing. As I was told that I was born premature, at the age of seven months, following a car accident, I was told all the time: ‘You were born from an annoyance'” Despite his childhood injuries, Jarry is today a comedian who has succeeded in his career and who is loved by the French.
