Until the end, he would have been spit out. We learned Thursday afternoon that Guy Bedos chose to leave at the same time that Edouard Philippe announced the regained freedom of movement. The comedian, music hall artist and actor was 85 years old.
He was born on June 15, 1934 in Algiers. He had the art of lengthening his ends of sentences in ironic and squeaky tails of comets. He signed each cowardice with a small crushed smile, without ceasing to stride nervously around the scene, his news sheets in hand. It was his way of taking life to the end. As, in 2017, seated in the front row of the Saint-Thomas Aquinas church (7th century), he was smiling at the funeral of Jean Rochefort. And as he was still dancing at the party organized after the screening of his son Nicolas' first film, "Monsieur et Madame Adelman".

Bedos is dead. A pain in the ass left us. An inspired gueulard. A sniper, a licensed gunman. A guy who did not know how to round the corners, especially when it was a question of falling short on the far right, although, politically, everyone took it for his rank, since with him there was more rank that holds: a flick, the stripes waltzed.
Bedos had the warm blood of his native land. And the happiness very early cooled by racism and the violence of her stepfather and her mother, her dear Hildeberte. Yet he had continued to love her. He had forgiven her for the words heard and the blows received. But mistreated loves are often treated with humor. In Paris, where the Bedos had disembarked in 1950, the kid with a sharp temper pointed his face as an apprentice playboy at the doors of cabarets and theater schools.
Encouraged by Jacques Prévert
It was there, on the first slopes that climb Pigalle, that he was accepted on rue Blanche. And it was at this time, not even 18 years old, that he met those who would become his travel companions. Belmondo, Rochefort, Marielle. Also met, in Saint-Germain-de-Prés, the faces of literature. He went there free. Show them his texts. "Go on, kid, go on," Prévert told him. You have gold in your bag. "
And how he would continue! Nothing could stop it. Even the war, that of Algeria, which demanded him from the country to go and kill his childhood brothers. He managed to be reformed and hello the company of pains! Anyway, Paris had taken him in his arms and it was not the time to get out.
On television, in a very recent program on famous duets, we saw him again, Guy, in this famous sketch of "The dredge", around the neck of Sophie Daumier, his blonde star who will forever remain the open scar of a bond and a love laminated by drama. A degenerative brain pathology, Huntington's disease, which won the actress in 2004.

They had married in 1965, had a daughter, Mélanie, had divorced in 1977. He had adopted his son, Philippe, aged 9 years at the time and died in 2010. Remarried to Joëlle Bercot, mother of Nicolas and from Victoria, Bedos had kept his star lost in a necklace. Nevertheless, it is to wonder if the artist had felt so well that life would be a sugared almond that he had made the title, very early, in 1963, of his very first show.
An adoption Corsica
Bedos is gone. Note that in the world of entertainment, lately, elephants, it dies a lot. He has deconfined himself from this world towards this fragrant and blue sky which he contemplated in his house in Corsica, his French Algeria where Jean-Paul Belmondo had been victim, on August 8, 2001, of his stroke. He had also defended the independence activist Yvan Colonna.
Not sure that the actor of "We will all go to Paradise" asked at the entrance the shortest route to Eden and his latest arrival, Jean-Loup Dabadie. His friends are not sure if they are there. He did not go to the locker room to put his Legion of Honor in the trunk for the simple reason that he refused it on earth. No, we bet that he rather inquired as to whether there was a scene up there because Bedos, even far from the living, was never the type to stop.
VIDEO. In 2017, Guy Bedos returned to the stage
In 2013, during his farewell to the Olympia - "this time, I stop!" "- and while the audience, not fooled, resumed in chorus" This is only a goodbye ", he trumpeted to those who wanted not to hear him that he did not wish to" do the fight too many ". Four years later, when he published his new book "À heure ou noirc la la campagne", he appeared fresh like a roach on the banks of the Seine and Ile-Saint-Louis, a cibiche à la hand to announce his return to the stage. A new decryption of the news. Or ? He didn't know yet. When, either. But he was already "looking forward to it".
At the time, he admitted to our newspaper that he was rather seduced by Emmanuel Macron, more than annoyed by Christian Clavier with whom he could have shared the poster of a new film. “There are two very important words in my life: yes and no. I often say no ”. And this little health? "She's doing pretty well, thank you. Sorry for those who do not like me, we will have to wait a little. It is not said that these, not so many, do not have tears in their eyes today.
