It was in 1992 that Frédéric Lopez’s career began. He chained filming on television sets which allowed him to become an emblematic journalist. He has taken a break in recent years and he returns to the front of the stage this Sunday, October 23. He actually hosts the show.A Sunday in the countryside, broadcast on France 2. For this special occasion, he confided in the columns of Télé Cable Sat on October 17th. The opportunity for him to make some revelations about his absence. The one who presented the show for a long time Meeting in unknown land assured that it became toxic for him. “Producing and presenting a weekly is monstrous. I love my life away from screens and Paris“, he first revealed. Thus, when Anne Holmes, the program director of France Télévisions offered him to host this program, Frédéric Lopez was convinced. “She told me that she was looking for sincerity, the most important thing for me. This is also why this professional life on TV is complicated for me”, he concluded. Will the journalist flourish again?
This new issue, Frédéric Lopez thought at first to refuse it. “I was in the Cévennes with my dogs, and then France 2 called me to offer me the slot occupied by Michel Drucker who was leaving on France 3. I told them first that I was not interested“, he revealed during this interview. Far from the media coverage, the journalist was very fulfilled and he had no intention of returning to the front of the stage. This break was very important for him, as he explained. Indeed, she allowed him to take time for himself. “It allowed me to do things I didn’t have time to do.“, he underlined before specifying that he was always”very stressed, anxious and perfectionist” when he was on television. A situation that no longer suited him, since he was putting a lot of pressure on himself. “I practiced a form of mistreatment towards me. This is the reason why I stopped watching TV, in order to ease my suffering and that of others.“, did he declare.
Frédéric Lopez: why did this break do him the greatest good?
Today, everything seems to be going well for Frédéric Lopez. However, when he took this drastic decision, he confided that he was at his worst. “A lot of people say there’s a form of notoriety addiction.”he first said before adding: “When you are exposed, you are exposed to criticism, comments and audience performance. Getting away from that allowed me to put things into perspective. A notoriety that was destroying him little by little and today he has no intention of letting himself be harmed. “I see things differently now.”, he said then, also specifying that the negative comments had a great impact on him. “Before, I felt like I was playing my life, today it’s less the case”he insisted, also adding: “If it works fine, otherwise it’s no big deal.”
