Daniel Auteuil presents on Sunday in Isabelle Morizet's program "There is not only one life in life" his album entitled "If you had known me" and its variation in musical spectacle.

The artist also evokes his beginnings as an apprentice actor in the capital, and clarifies the "we say" about this period of his life.

INTERVIEW

Before becoming the famous actor we know, Daniel Auteuil was a 19-year-old man who had recently arrived in Paris from his native Provence. A period of his life that he tells on Sunday at the microphone of Isabelle Morizet in the show 

There is not only one life in life

. Determined to become an artist, the young Daniel Auteuil then looked for a job "to earn enough to live on and be able to learn the trade". On his tenth day in the capital, he even almost got hired in a bank, for lack of anything better. But the same day he pushes the door of the National Popular Theater (TNP) and thus lands a small job as an extra which takes him to Avignon, and puts him on the rails of his career.

"I wasn't badly screwed so everything was fine"

But appearing is not the only job as an emerging artist that Daniel Auteuil has held.

It is said that he was a naked dancer at the Elysée Montmartre.

A rumor that the actor confirms without pretense at the microphone of Isabelle Morizet.

"Well yes", he assumes;

"Yes, I was a naked dancer in a show called 'O Calcutta!'. Indeed, at one point there was a ballet where we danced naked."

"I claim it: I was not badly screwed, so everything was fine", continues Daniel Auteuil with a smile. "I couldn't do it again today." Very comfortable that he was then with his body, the actor and singer nevertheless admits having lent himself to the exercise despite a certain modesty. "I was a little uncomfortable, but it was in the 1970s and the dancers did not have a monopoly on undressing," he observes. "I too have assumed my feminine side by undressing myself."
