Augustin Trapenard read this Monday on France Inter, the letter from filmmaker Nicolas Bedos to his father, who died last Thursday at age 85. He paid tribute to Guy Bedos, mentioning in particular "a last night near [him]".

"Candles, a little whiskey, your so fine and feminine hand that serves mine until the last day of the last day." Your childish look that disarms the kid a little more than I become. Above your bed, a mess of photos, from Jean-Loup Dabadie to Gisèle Halimi, from Desproges to Camus via Guitry. It did not vote the same, it did not pray the same ghosts, but you walked together in a sense of humor and love, "he wrote in this text read by the journalist and available online.

"You are not dead: you are finally sleeping. "

"I untied your black tie. We will take you where you wanted, it is you who dictates the program, it is you who drive without a license, writes Nicolas Bedos. First at the Saint Germain church, you weren't very good friends with religions, but the churches, you were carried away. You said "We should rent them for music hall shows, film screenings, poetry concerts". There will be atheists, full of Arabs and full of Jews. It would have dismayed your mother, you would have liked your mother to be angry ”. And to conclude: "We're going to make you violins, a capella melodrama: you must not put your grief aside, at the end of an actor. You have to let go of the bravos and occupy each folding seat. It's their loot, it's your loot. Especially since I feel that you are not far away ... You are not dead: you are finally sleeping. "

Comedian and comedian Guy Bedos, known for his ferocious sketches, his commitment to the left and his roles in films like Un éléphant ça tromp enormément , died at the age of 85 last Thursday.
