Death of Jean-Paul Belmondo: his cult interview for Première in 1995
Here is the editorial of this new issue:
“TOC, TOC, BADABOUM! “
First appeared on newsstands at the end of 1976. It was precisely when Jean-Paul Belmondo became more than a star, a brand. A label, the promise of big popular success and enormous commercial machinery. The thing is that at its inception, this newspaper intended to support a new generation of actors and actresses (Patrick Dewaere, Isabelle Adjani, Miou-Miou and Depardieu …), young directors who wanted to move the lines (Annaud, Leconte or Pialat for example). And in this story, the ogre Belmondo had to stay on the sidelines. Result: in forty years of First, there were only four Bébel blankets. And a few years of quarrel. We glued the pieces together several times. The last one was for an interview that remained collector – 1995 and the famous “Knock, knock, badaboum!” “. But a few hours after his disappearance, putting in a Jean-Paul Belmondo was instantly essential. Because he was the tallest. But above all because in addition to being a huge actor, being the last French star (in any case the only absolutely unifying), he totally embodied an industry and a culture. It was Pierrot le fou and the Guignolo. The only one capable of making the link between Godard and Lautner. Belmondo was French cinema.
