Michel Drucker was the portrait of the week on the show Sept à Huit this Sunday, January 23. Facing Audrey Crespo-Mara, he mentioned his career.
He wants to stay. In September 2020, Michael Drucker had been forced to postpone his return to television, for the sake of his health. Indeed, the presenter had been hospitalized in order to undergo a heart operation, within a Parisian establishment. This Sunday, January 23, he was the portrait of the week on the show seven to eight. Faced with Audrey Crespo-Mara, he spoke about his health problems but also his career. After a long break, the host has returned to his famous red sofa and he has every intention of not leaving it any time soon. While the journalist asks him if he thinks he has “one day the guts to say that he stops“, Michel Drucker immediately retorts: “No ! Never !“. Subsequently, he clarifies not to “want to compare me to Molière, but when Dalida sang ‘To die on stage’, I understand her very very well”, he asserted. A person he greatly admires is Charles Aznavour. At the age of 94, he was singing on stage only ten days before his death. “If it’s to be in front of viewers with a walker, no. I could see myself continuing for another ten years“, he assured before specifying: “But it’s not up to me. The cardiologists reassured me, they told me that I have the heart for it. Everything is new“, he concluded. The host is determined to have a long career.
An important decision. Faced with Audrey Crespo-Mara, the host first said: “I have always liked the duration, whether professionally, romantically, friendly or even family“. Subsequently, he clarified: “But for that, it is necessary that the health lasts, and there, I was trapped. I was convinced that I was indestructible.” A feeling shared by his colleagues: “In the business, there are friends who say: ‘Drucker, it’s Terminator.. nothing will ever happen to him'”, he said before adding: “Something bad happened to me.” However, it was out of the question for Michel Drucker to return to the stage with a disability. Before his operation, he asked his doctor to “unplug me in case of trouble. I couldn’t bear the idea of doing a public job again when I was disabled”, he explained. The reason ? “For me, my life is my job. If I had come out diminished, handicapped on the neurological level, on the cerebral level, for me, it was not playable”, he assured, in full transparency. The career of the animator began a long time ago and he has very good memories of it: “When you start TV at 22, not even, and you’re still there almost 60 years later, that means you have a real passion for your job.. Without my job, I would not see myself living“, he concluded.
Michel Drucker: what important lesson did he learn from this difficult ordeal?
Michel Drucker could have stayed there and he is well aware of it. After declaring to be a stressed person, he assured that he has changed radically. “I am much calmer than before. Above all, I understood that stress does considerable damage. I’m in a period where I’m getting rid of stress“, he indicated before specifying: “When one almost crosses over, there is a period before and after. We don’t see life the same way anymore.” Today, the facilitator is determined to take care of him and enjoy his life and his job. “Now I tell myself that I stressed for nothing. I’m alive, the rest doesn’t matter”, concluded Michel Drucker.
