When Bruno Moynot éspeaks of his second family…

Having joined the Splendid troupe thanks to Josiane Balasko, Bruno Moynot éwas, at the beginning, in charge of the technique and management of the theater. “We practically lived together”, recalled the actor, now aged 74. “We stayed friends. It's a family. When we get together, we laugh“, he confided.

On October 10, those who made up the Splendid troupe reunited for a sad event. It was in Paris, on the occasion of Michel Blanc's funeral, that they were able to talk about their respective lives. “It's really family ties. They're close people, that we love […] When Michel died, we said: 'We're stupid. We should see each other more often'”, he said, admitting that each other's schedules sometimes had trouble matching up.

Bruno Moynot: “It happened that we had little arguments…”

While Bruno Moynot assured that he had remained close to the ex-members of Splendid, he did not hide the fact that he had had a few disagreements. “It happened that we had little arguments…“, he said, confiding that it was still “very rare”. If the atmosphere was generally good-natured, the guest from Jordan De Luxe mentioned the impulsive character of Gérard Jugnot. “Gérard, he's a bit touchy. But it doesn't last long”, he specified.

And he continued: “But honestly, we hardly had any arguments”, the actor recalled. Small clashes without consequences. 50 years of memories that have mostly left moments of laughter in Bruno Moynot's head.
