Comedian Jonathan Cohen is the guest of "Culture Médias" on Tuesday for his parody series "Le Flambeau", a sequel to "La Flamme".

It lends itself to the game of the pre-fame portrait of Lisa-Marie Marques, which reveals crisp anecdotes from the life of the actor before he experienced success on television and in the cinema.

INTERVIEW

Today, he is known as the king of improvisation and self-mockery, the most famous liar in France thanks to his character of Serge le myhto, and as the Bachelor courted by the greatest actresses of French cinema in

The Flame

.

But has Jonathan Cohen come to this?

Tuesday in

K2000 seller

Jonathan Cohen is a child of TV who grew up watching series and cartoons.

And in particular those of the "Club Dorothée":

The

Knights of the Zodiac

,

Ken the survivor

and

Dragon Ball Z.

"I was completely in front of Dorothée, Ariane, Patrick Simpson Jones. The Dorothée club was brilliant!", confirms the actor.

As a child, he also spent his Sundays with his father in front of 

Manimal

.

"The Black Panther is the most beautiful transformation," he recalls excitedly.

"All of a sudden, his hands were turning into paws. It was unbelievable! It was a great series, but there was only one season, unfortunately."

The young Jonathan Cohen also regains his passion for

K2000

and his talking car.

A passion that drives him to a few schoolyard lies.

"I told my comrades that my father made K2000 and that he made K2000 for the little ones as for us. I must have been eight years old and I took orders for K2000", he smiles.

"Of course, when there is a lie, everyone realizes it at some point. But, but at the time, we wanted to believe it. My character of Serge the mytho started very young!"

A "very, very particular" haircut

Scared of

Arsene Lupin

, Jonathan Cohen sees 

Titanic

 in theaters five times and gets a slap in the face of

Fight Club

.

Just like before the clips of Ricky Martin "It was a real revolution", recognizes the actor, who absolutely wanted to have the haircut of the Spanish singer.

With my best friend, however, it is for free that he will try, a few years later, to have his hair cut.

"We responded to a small demonstration ad, so as not to pay. Except that we didn't know it was in front of a lot of people," he laughs.

“We were on a desk and we were having our hair cut in front of a hundred people. We had very, very particular cuts.

Jonathan Cohen then intended to sell windows, before "quickly branching off".

After the Paris Conservatory before the series.

He becomes a seller, not of windows, but of wedding gifts for Lisa Azuelos in the film

Comme t'y es belle

.

Eric Rochant then offers him a recurring role in the second season of the

Mafiosa

series .

This is followed by the Arte

Les Invincibles series, 

which definitively establishes Jonathan Cohen in the French television and film landscape.
