The Tuches are not spared from containment. Jean-Paul Rouve, alias Jeff Tuche in the cinematographic saga, explains to Matthieu Noël's microphone in L'Équipée sauvage that the coronavirus came to play spoilsport during the filming of the new family adventure: "We were in the process to shoot Les Tuche 4 when the confinement arrived, we had three weeks of shooting left, so it stopped of course.

Confined Tuches?
The resumption of filming will have to reckon with the new sanitary rules in force, which requires discussion with the director to make changes to the script, as Jean-Paul Rouve explains. "We did a lot of [talking] with Olivier Baroux to rewrite scenes, because we hope to shoot in June, we cross our fingers, but by removing scenes. We had a lot of extras, like 100 people. It will not be possible, so we are rewriting. This is work. "
Could the coronavirus go so far as to inspire a future adventure for Jeff Tuche and his family? "It's a good idea" according to the actor, "we love Les Tuche so much that we hope to continue. So we write down everything, all the moments of life in society, and as soon as there are themes of society, that necessarily interests us. "
The still popular Bouzolles family
During this period of confinement, Les Tuche continues to gain acceptance and to lead the TV audiences. What to consider a transition to posterity for these films? "I hope so because obviously, it's the greatest reward when we do this job. When we make people laugh, when we make films that make people laugh, it's because time goes by and it goes beyond everything . "
The actor dares not compare himself to one of his favorite comedians, Louis de Funès, even if he can only wish for a similar success. "Louis de Funès is a special case, I'm not sure, we'll see what the weather does. I would love it but the films you know, 20 years already is not bad, going beyond that is hard Humor is difficult. "
