Dany Boon (Superchondriac): "When I have a fever of 38.5 I feel on the verge of death!"

“When I have a fever of 38.5 I feel on the verge of death!“Dany Boon is barely joking when talking about XXL hypochondria:”Psychoanalysis has helped me not to solve this problem, but to live better with it and laugh at it.“, he admits. The unhealed star manages to banish it by presenting us with this deliciously popular comedy that airs at 9:15 PM on TMC. “We make others laugh better through ourselves”relies on the artist who puts a lot of himself into this “personal and candid” bullshit. Self-teasing is at the helm and Dany delivers a terrific acting stunt. By the way, did this identify the source of the neurosis? “There is a fear of death and it was also a way for me to deny success. There was a time when I was ashamed to earn more money than my family because I come from a poor family. My remorse was expressed as follows: “, explains to us very seriously. Before adding: “Lastly, my tendency to invent illness has kept me safe. Especially from the mistakes that can happen in show business: going out, drugs, alcohol. When I started, people would offer me drugs at the slightest slack. I told them, ‘I prefer to play tired!'”

A very big phantom patient

In Supercondriaque, Dany plays Romain Faubert, a very, very sick imaginary patient. Height: The photographer for the medical dictionary! Romain is a clinical case. If you are sicker than him, you will die! Germ phobic, addicted to drugs and hydro-alcoholic gels (Dany’s bottle is always in her pocket!), this quadra lives in hell every day. No kids, zero emotional life (and rightfully so, kissing a girl is an ordeal, a lot of germs on the horizon!), there’s only one “friend” that big neurotic: her doctor, doctor Dimitri Zvenka. Friend Kad Merad plays the doctor who is harassed by his most devoted patient and is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. His ultimate recipe: a plan to get rid of it. Dany also knows by heart the number of her doctors, and some of them have become her friends. Six years after Welcome to Ch’tis, reuniting with Kad was eagerly awaited. “There is a shared generosity and desire to see each other funny. We like to surprise each other. explains Dany and Kad adds: “We didn’t want to remake the Ch’tis duo at any cost. I wouldn’t have agreed if there wasn’t a good reason to meet around real comedy scenes.”

5.3 million viewers

The duet numbers are irresistible: it attracted 5.3 million spectators in France. Or second place at the 2014 box office, followed by What have we done for God? (12.2 million). Aren’t you too sick to be beaten like that? “It would piss me off if it was an American movie! But I’m also very happy that there’s a comedy here that has a unifying message that all communities can live together.”, admits Dany, who is a good actress. As in all his films, romance accompanies the fun. Love is a miraculous cure here. Alice Pol finally embodies the person in whom happiness reaches the hero’s life… almost healed! According to Dany, who owns her blue flower side, the best medicine is love.
