Guest on the set of Quelle epoque! this Saturday, February 18, Bernard-Henry Lévy answered a most intimate question from Léa Salamé, who was very surprised by the writer’s answer.
It’s on the occasion of the next release of his documentary Slava Ukrainianin theaters next Wednesday, February 22, that the writer and businessman Bernard-Henry Levy, was invited on the set of Quelle epoque! this Saturday, February 18. Alongside humorist and actor Kev Adams, including a mini-series named Coming will soon be broadcast on TF1, and the songwriter André Manoukian, former juror of the Nouvelle Star.
After Léa Salamé, who has been accused of incompetence, spoke of the upcoming documentary by Bernard-Henry Lévy, she submitted the latter to a series of questions that are intimate to say the least. The latter, visibly uncomfortable, politely agreed to answer it, not without being shocked.
Bernard-Henry Lévy “I’m not very dressed when I write”
About her way of writing, Léa Salamé, about whom we tell you everything, indeed asked point-blank to her guest: “Is it true that you strip naked to write?”, she asked. What the writer tried to answer, while being embarrassed by the photomontage which was displayed in large form behind the facilitator. The team of Quelle epoque! indeed had fun representing Bernard-Henry Lévy in its simplest form.
Without paying too much attention to this famous montage, the writer replied, after having slightly lost his words: “Yes, I’m not very dressed when I write”he confirmed. “Naked, naked?”, hastened to ask Léa Salamé, potentially at war with Anne-Sophie Lapix, visibly disconcerted by the answer she suspected, however, in view of the question asked. And when Christophe Dechavanne asked him if he was a naturist, Bernard-Henry Lévy answered them at the same time: “No. […] Seriously, when you write, it’s a moment of solitude, almost absolute, where the outside world no longer exists. We are alone with ourselves, and it’s true that we are already a little naked“, he delivered. A statement that prompted André Manoukian to speak about his own habits: “That means he’s sleeping naked. I do the same thing on the piano, and then all of a sudden I’m like, ‘Damn, I’m naked'”he also confided.
