In the video: “Don’t you want to finally be next to the beautiful?” Anne Sinclair’s dreaded question to Josiane Balasco one day

It’s a question that seems elusive on TV today. And which, however, didn’t seem to offend anyone in the 80s. This is the question Anne Sinclair asked Josiane Balasco on the show. 7 out of 7 at that time he was driving. “Don’t you want to finally be around the beautiful?” To which the Splendid actress replied. “No, but it’s okay, I’m fine.” However, the journalist continued. “Since you’ve always sided with the stupid, the marginal, and the lost, we wondered if you really are the stupid, the marginal, and the lost?” “I have not lost. I’m fat, I don’t like the word “boulotte”, it has a bit of a derogatory side. No, I’m round, I’ve got curves, and there are men who love that.”

“No filters then”

Invited to respond to this exchange by Lawrence Boccolini on the show TV kids this November 26, the actress came to present her play Chalet in Gstadanalysis. “There were no filters back then, especially when the film was released Too beautiful for you (Bertrand Blier, 1989). “But it never bothered me to say I wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t a big deal, but I think the people who ask this question, as much respect as I have for them, don’t know what street people are. They only see skinny people who are on diets and wear designer clothes. So obviously I didn’t get into it.” A difficult image, from which the actress struggled for a long time to break free, and which limited her to the same type of roles for a large part of her career. The irony of the scene? Anne Sinclair further points out that we would never dare ask a man this question. Inequality that has not really changed.
