  hit

  Fuck You

  “I admit that I chose the song, because that's kind of what I have to say to society at the moment.

  20 Minutes

“For once we'll be right to say that I have a big mouth.

Since the time that one reproaches me it was time to assume it ”, she declared Saturday by way of clue in

This Monday, Frédérique Bel was true to her reputation as an allergic to the tongue of wood when debriefing her participation in the TF1 show with

The actress was, with Laure Manaudou, one of the first personalities to leave the second season of the show, but she made an impression by singing Fuck You by Lily Allen in her costume of scarlet and glittery lips ...

How did you end up in "Mask Singer"?

It turns out that with the confinement, all my shoots were shifted.

As with many people, it was quite an agonizing time.

We did not know what tomorrow would bring.

That TF1 offered to prepare songs for

was very calming for me, it gave me a goal, a desire to do constructive things.

I might not have done it normally - I refused to participate in it last year - because I do a lot of shoots and when you get involved in a show like that, you 'commits several months in advance for about forty days.

There, I was able to say yes, because, in the medium term, I had no visibility on my cinema projects.

For me, it would have been out of the question to sacrifice a shoot for fun.

My agent wouldn't have understood.

Weren't you afraid that your participation in "Mask Singer" would harm your image?

I'm not a snob.

I've been shooting for almost twenty years.

The hardest part in this job is to last.

Before doing TV, I was a model, and I was told that if I did model, I would never do TV.

Afterwards, I was told that if I was doing TV, I would never make movies.

Afterwards, I was told that if I was doing comedies, I would never make author films.

I was the muse of Emmanuel Mouret, so I was told that I could never do comedy again.

Oh la la… I don't know why people in France are trying to put their eye on people.

Me, I have the incredible chance to have created an image where I have the map to have fun, to do what I want.

The only link between everything I have done on TV or in the movies is sincerity.

Things come from my urge to communicate this with the public.

I'm a popular actress, that's how I introduce myself.

In some mouths popularity is seen as degrading.

I come from the countryside, my parents do not have a cinema near their home.

If I can come to their TV and say "Hello papa mama", I will.

I work like the Anglo-Saxons: the main thing in my job is to share what I do and have it seen.

The "Mask Singer" premiere was seen by nearly 5 million people on Saturday….

We had five million viewers on Saturday night, during this depressing period.

Putting on entertainment, that people pose in front of disguised people who are having fun because it's funny to do.

This should be reimbursed by the Social Security.

We are the troubadours of society, I want to say.

It's almost a public necessity to do this stuff.

People who criticize are people who are dying to do it.

Who wouldn't want to go singing in disguise to see if even their parents recognize them?

It's super funny!

So you had fun?

I have a life focused on the festive side.

I like to go for funny things.

I'm lucky to have a channel like TF1 that allows me to do such crazy things, like playing a nurse addicted to morphine [in the

series

] and a mouth that sings

.

Well, the song, I confess that I chose it, because that's kind of what I have to say to society at the moment.

We have a fairly incompetent government.

It's DIY, it's rubbish.

I have too much respect for our society, for this freedom that we have managed to have.

I'm so happy to wake up in the morning and tell myself that I live in a country where I can do whatever I want.

The restrictions at the moment, frankly, I agree, because Covid-19 is a disease, it's complicated and we all have fragile people around us.

But everything was very poorly orchestrated.
