For Pierre Niney, Gilles Lellouche as well as many actors and actresses, the cup is full. And the former member of the Comédie Française was keen to let it be known, by addressing directly to the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron and to the Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot. On Sunday February 7, 2021, the 31-year-old actor posted an angry message, more than 100 days after the cultural venues closed. "100 days without any museum, but with all the places of worship, 100 days without any cinema, but with all the department stores, 100 days without any theater, but with all the planes where you eat at the same time … 100 days of incomprehension ", he wrote, on Twitter.

"Cinemas and theaters have put in so much effort"
This is not the first time that Pierre Niney has called on the government since the start of the Covid-19 health crisis. During a press conference Thursday, December 10, 2020, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced that, contrary to what the Head of State had suggested a few weeks earlier, cultural venues would not be reopening anytime soon. A revelation that had made the star of the seventh art jump. "Frankly, it's hard to think that all shops, planes, trains and supermarkets in France can accommodate the public … but not the cinemas and theaters which have made so much effort to be places that are beyond reproach for sanitary purposes … ", had lamented the companion of Natasha Andrews, on Twitter. A feeling of injustice that continues …
