Laurent Delahousse received two distinguished guests on Sunday March 12, 2023 on his
8:30 p.m. show, Le Dimanche
on France 2: Fabien Roussel and Alexandra Lamy.
The singular meeting between the communist politician and the actress gave rise to a touching exchange.
Fabien Roussel indeed wished to react to the new film of the actress,
The Chamber of Wonders,
directed by Lisa Azuelos.
"I accompanied my daughter for six months"
In this moving feature film, in theaters on Wednesday March 15, Alexandra Lamy plays the role of Thelma, a mother who realizes the list of dreams for her little boy Louis, 12, to help him get out of a coma.
The story of this character found a particular echo with Fabien Roussel.
"I was personally touched, as millions of French people will be, because, in my life, I accompanied my daughter for six months, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 9", thus confided the politician, referring to Burkitt's lymphoma from which his daughter was suffering.
"It was a hard cancer. And I know the energy that a father or a mother can put in the life of his child", underlined Fabien Roussel, visibly very moved.
