Vincent Lindon does not want to discuss politics with Laurent Delahousse

Faced with this response, Alice Taglioni's companion wanted his guest to give him some names of politicians he admired. “No. We're not going to start saying names. Because here, I don't want to go into details at all. And then above all, it doesn't interest me at all. I'm very frank. Here, I'm forced to put four brains into action. What I can say, and not say. ÇIt's going to tire me out and I don't want it“, Vincent Lindon said very curtly, wanting to change the subject.

But wanting to get his answer, Laurent Delahousse allowed himself to insist.
