Kev Adams was devastated by the death of Mylène Demongeot.

The actor and author, who had played alongside him in his film

Retirement home

, was invited to the program

C à Vous

to talk about the Telethon (which takes place this weekend and of which he is the sponsor this year) , but he was also questioned about his links with the mythical actress of

Fantômas

.

And he did not hide his emotion.



“It's overwhelming, it breaks my heart (…) It's a woman with whom I tied a bond on the set who was brilliant.

She sent me movies to watch.

She texted me three weeks ago because we're writing the sequel

to Nursing Home

.

Obviously she had an important role in the sequel, as she had an important role in the first one.

I took it as a blow to the head, I learned that this afternoon, ”said the comic.

Immortals

If he knew that given her age (the actress was 87), her health could be fragile, Kev Adams admitted that he had always considered playing with her in the sequel

to Retirement home

.

“When you write films and you have the chance to bring characters to life, I swear you have the impression that they are immortal.

Which is to say, it's crazy, she was 87 and at no point in my head did I consider that she couldn't be with us for the sequel,” he explained.

And to conclude: “I will try to pay tribute to him also throughout my career because it is people like that who made me want to make cinema.

Mylène, we will not forget you and I hope that we will remember this immense actress for a long time.

Released last May,

Retirement Home

, co-written by Kev Adams, was a huge commercial hit, with more than 2 million admissions in France.

It will therefore be the last film shot by Mylène Demongeot.
