The gestures are still as lively, but the voice has almost disappeared.
Bernard Tapie granted this Sunday an interview to TF1 and his show Seven to eight.
The opportunity for the man of a thousand lives to give news on his state of health, without filter.
His words are crystal clear: “I'm at the worst point I've known for 3 years.
"
However, positive signals had been communicated to him by his doctors a few months ago.
The former president of OM must turn to experimental treatments.
One of them had initially given signs of hope.
His tumors had shrunk by 70%.
“I am at the worst point I have known for 3 years.
"
The life, the love, the death which he says he is not afraid of, #BernardTapie confides speechless, but without having lost any of his ardor in the face of @audrey_crespo.

But the disease quickly regained the upper hand and Bernard Tapie explains that he felt bad at the beginning of the summer.
New examinations were carried out and the bad news fell.
“We discovered 20% of new tumors and my old ones had doubled.
So we had to stop and we looked for another experimental treatment, since conventional treatments don't work.
We tried another one on immunotherapy, but I just had the CT scan and they doubled in size again.
"
His doctors now tell him that he is "in a complicated situation".
Explains to him that he refuses to despair and says that he is not afraid of death.
