Guest this March 3 on the set of the show 8:30 p.m. Sunday, broadcast on France 2, Didier Bourdon spoke, in complete frankness, the return more than probable of the flagship comic trio The unknown, who seems to be missed a lot by fans. The journalist Laurent Delahousse, in fact, could not help but ask the famous question to the 65-year-old actor and comedian, who remains for many people the eternal sidekick of Bernard Campan and of Pascal Legitimus.
“You invented so many things for many generations and it still works with the youngest,” the host pointed out to him, evoking the various phrases that have become cult by Didier Bourdon and the various notable roles in his career. Enough to make the person concerned smile with pride, in particular by rediscovering several of the songs included in the sketches of the Unknown And “which have entered everyday language”. As an anecdote, the actor specified that he had a strong period of inspiration, where he “Woke up in the middle of the night” to jot down ideas for lyrics or sketches to entertain the gallery, in particular by writing the scenario of Three brothers, which had a huge success in the 1990s. “Is it going to come back together a little bit?” launched Laurent Delahousse. To which Didier Bourdon replied, evasively: “So I don’t want to talk about it too much, out of superstition. I prefer to be laconic.”

Elle est la mère de deux de ses trois enfants, deux filles nées en 2006 et en 2010, NDLR] and I had the pleasure of having them near me. It touched me enormously, because we’ve known each other for around forty years now.” he detailed with tenderness, proving that their friendship is still current. When the journalist tried to dig a little deeper to find out more about the return of UnknownDidier Bourdon simply let go : “It might be quicker than expected, but I’m not saying anything…” Something to delight fans of the trio from the beginning, even if they will still have to wait.
