Léa Salamé has taken the helm of a new issue of What an era! on France 2. On Saturday April 15, 2023, the host received a good number of guests: Frédéric Beigbeder who came to present his book, Confessions of a Slightly Overwhelmed Heterosexual, host and humorist Jean-Luc Lemoine, actress Isabelle Carré and writer Sarah Barukh who spoke about feminicides. The latter publishes a collective work, 125 and thousands: 125 personalities tell 125 victims of feminicides. The political journalist Alain Duhamel as well as the director Nicolas Philibert author of the documentary On the Adamant were also part of it.
But the host started the show with an interest in Dany Boon.
Why continue?
The actor and director is released on Wednesday April 19, 2023, life for real with Kad Merad and Charlotte Gainsbourg in the cast. “Tridan Lagache spent his life at Club Med, changing friends every 8 days. At 50, he resigned from the Mexican holiday club where he was born, determined to find, 42 years later, his great love. childhood, Violette. He arrives in Paris, naive and lost but happy to be staying with Louis, a half-brother he didn’t know existed. To get rid of a cumbersome Tridan, Louis begs one of his conquests, Roxane, to pretend to be Violette whom Tridan thinks he recognizes at first sight”.
15 years after the release of Welcome to the Ch’tis, the biggest success of a French film at the national box office with more than 20 million admissions, can Dany Boon do better? Around the table, Léa Salamé, but also Isabelle Carré and Frédéric Beigbeder wondered: “Why continue this career?”
“The goal is not to make a lot of entries”retorted the main interested party. “I made more than 20 million admissions, because I didn’t want to make more than 20 million”he continued. “The film arrived at a time when people needed this film. There was a brotherly side to the film which is astonishing and surprising. I’m still surprised. I don’t think the film deserved 20 million entries”modestly added the filmmaker. “Give Back the Money”launched Jean-Luc Lemoine triggering the laughter of the set.
