Laurent Ruquier created the surprise by participating in Mask Singer; he explains this choice today!
The fans of the show Mask Singer eagerly awaiting the Friday May 5 episode. And for good reason, they were going to be able to know who was chosen to temporarily replace Michèle Bernier, absent for professional reasons. This is how they were able to discover that the one night investigator hidden under a lobster costume, was none other than Laurent Ruquier. Internet users had guessed it, just like Jeff Panacloc for that matter. An unexpected appearance on a competing channel for the host of Children of TV on France 2 and Big heads on RTL, the reason for which he explained in the columns of the magazine Tele-Leisure. “It was the production that contacted me because Michèle Bernier was absent and they said to themselves that I could perhaps accept the role of investigator, that it would surely amuse me“.
And to add:I knew I had to go through the disguise box, but that it would be five minutes at the start of the show. It’s still a performance that had to be achieved… I’m not sure that I could have lasted for several weeks in the role of the Lobster! I admire those who do! But I didn’t hesitate at all because it amused me. I said yes right away“. He also insisted, saying: “On the other hand, in the other direction, if I had been offered to be a candidate for several weeks, I wouldn’t have done it“. It has the merit of being clear !

The ex-acolyte of Léa Salamé also revealed the real reason which prompted him to participate in Mask Singer : “What made me say ‘yes’, to tell the truth, is when I saw Francis Huster do it! And I was like, ‘If Francis does it, one of the actors who’s been in a lot of my plays, then why not me ?’“. Here’s a good reason!
