Francis Huster does not hesitate to say what he thinks. Thursday at Anne Roumanoff's on Europe 1, the comedian relayed his jab, which he has already carried in a book - Molière, my God - and via a petition, to request the integration of Molière in the Pantheon.
Contempt of trade?
"We are going to tell the truth: France considers that being an actor is a phony job, a job of mountebank," says Francis Huster. The actor, who devotes a true cult to the playwright, deplores his absence within the Pantheon. "The only reason why Molière is not in the Pantheon, the only reason he was not received at his time at the Académie française, is because he was an actor," he says. he.
Through his book and his petition to Emmanuel Macron, Francis Huster wants to make things happen. "The Pantheon is for the men and women who served this country, who gave an image and who served France," said the comedian who justifies the entry of Molière into the institution. "I think we will have 150,000 signatures in the petition within a year," he hopes.
