Since last fall, Télé-Québec has been offering a new concept in which Quebec stars are interviewed by four personalities from different backgrounds.
This often creates new confidences and an intensive exchange between people who know each other well or not at all.
On Saturday evening, Bianca Gervais, Guy Cormier (general director of Caisses Desjardins), Lysanne Richard and François Avard took turns interviewing the comedian and producer Louis Morissette for the first time of the winter season.
While they were all very surprising in their role as interviewers, we were completely charmed by the approach of Bianca Gervais, who wanted to hear the guest speak from the bottom of her heart.
The actress immediately argued that Louis Morissette had been “more vulnerable, humble and tender” lately.
“At the beginning of my career I was very confrontational, arrogant, it was like I was distancing myself from myself. Over time, I won’t need to go there anymore, it won’t bother me anymore,” he told her.
She then asked him where he currently was on the happiness scale in his life. “You beat me with a good 8,” he said. “I've written a show that makes me very happy, I'm working with my son, my kids are getting older and aging beautifully, they're doing really well.” […] I'll never be at 10. It does not exist. On the contrary, at 50 I am really happy in my relationship, but I am entering the window of losing people. There is no such thing as perfection. At least in my eyes. »
Bianca also returned to her pal's statements to Tout le monde entalk in which he revealed he was deaf in one ear.
“You laughed, you made a joke. At home I said, “Well, let's see, he's taking it lightly…” But then do you panic when you go to bed at night? » asked the interviewer.
I'm very bitchy. I'm self-medicating. The anxiolytics got me out of there because I would bang my head against the wall.
The actress also asked her interlocutor whether he would still call his company KO today. What an excellent question! Undoubtedly, Bianca Gervais obviously has a talent for conducting good interviews. “I’m not sure,” he replied. “KO, it was in motion when I started doing a bye bye again in 2010 after the 2008 fiasco. That way I was really focused on getting hit and told myself, “You have to hit harder.” »
At the end she asked him if he dreamed of retirement. “I fit in this window, but my problem is my wife. It is my greatest gift in life and it is my greatest problem. She's not in the window…”
Hats off to Bianca Gervais, who was able to bring out the beauty and gentleness in Louis Morissette with brilliant questions, a sensitive approach and attentive listening.
For Once is shown on Télé-Québec on Saturdays at 8 p.m.
Next week Janette Bertrand will be interviewed by Élise Guilbault, Sophie Grégoire, Ricardo Larrivee and Véronique Cloutier.
