2021-12-17T19:06:30.395Z


Revue du Madame - On the occasion of his tour for A Funny Show, we met the comedian in the cold Parisian December. We talked about balaclava, Keanu Reeves and body positive.


This Thursday, December 16, it was his first Olympia. She performed her show which is soberly called

A Funny Show

, except it's hilarious. As in her chronicles on

France Inter

, Marina Rollman succeeds on stage to go beyond the primary objective of humor (to make people laugh), by inviting us, with finesse, to think, even to philosophize. She questions our compulsive love for the burrata and our choice of therapists, but also alcoholism among the over 60s, the many taboos around the vagina, the advent of cross-fit, the very existence of stag and hen parties. .. At 33, this comedian from Geneva has won over a whole generation Y eager to make fun of

runners.

Parisians, foodistas of the soft, pornography of the 2000s and the world before.

Until now confidential, it will soon be one of the big ones.

Madame Figaro.

- In our psycho column, we talked a lot about "positive loneliness" or how being alone makes us feel good.

If we often fear being alone, the experts are categorical: it optimizes inner well-being.

When was the last time you felt lonely?

It was good ?


Marina Rollman.

-

So me, I

need

of loneliness. I need these phases where I am a bit neutered, where I watch a movie and where my little brain processes everything that I live professionally and personally. What becomes very complicated with children I imagine: finding these small spaces to go to wee, already, but also to hear yourself think. For the past few months, I have had a hectic life because I have been touring, etc. And just the idea of ​​having a 6-hour slot made of "nothing" I miss. It's a residual luxury that I shouldn't have at 33, but I love it.

Clara Luciani told us: "I would have a hard time getting on stage without kohl and mascara". What about you, otherwise you couldn't happen?


I quite agree with Clara. Make-up is my only little armor. I can go on stage in rags, depending on the organ problems, but a feminine face, a tiny bit of a diva somewhere, I like it. Beyond that, I have a lot of trouble getting on stage without serenity. I'm not at all in the big stalker team, who think it's necessary. I think it's a state of mind, like when you receive friends at home: there are girls who will want to be perfect hostesses and with whom the chicken will be overcooked, and those who are in the loose taken and will have a good time anyway.

Long hated, the balaclava is making a strong comeback in the women's locker room. In a fashion article, we explained to our readers for the balaclava, it's cool, despite the bad memories, even the traumas it left in childhood. Have you, too, been a victim of the balaclava - or other torture garment from the 1990s?


I have several girlfriends who are obsessed with the balaclava, but in a context of sexual games, who really like the idea of ​​the burglar… It's not really my thing. Of course I am one of the victims of the balaclava, as a child

(she was born in 1988, Editor's note)

, but I was also the victim of something a little more niche: the ill-fitting turtleneck cotton undershirt. , a little too wide.

The Swiss comedian confides with humor on the passage of time and the way in which she lived the confinement.

This weekend in The

Times

, Monica Bellucci said: "The physique ages and you have to live with it". In the mouth of Marina Rollman, what would it give? The physique ages and……


And it is better to be Monica Bellucci when that happens! More seriously, I believe that the more the physique ages, the more the self-love grows, well I believe. I am more and more comfortable with my body, more and more soft and loving with it. Honestly, it looks pretty cool getting older, and I like typed people. Catherine Deneuve, I prefer her now than at 20 years old. I say that but I will undoubtedly be this woman who, at 60, will look at photos of me at 20, all beautiful, all tense, saying "It's stupid that I did not love myself more" ...

In our special body issue, we wondered a lot about the “body positive”, this movement which invites you to love your body, whatever its faults. Jennifer Lopez is body positive, Kate Winslet is body positive. And Marina Rollman?


My eye is body positive: I like people who have extremely different and varied shapes and sizes, which do not correspond to the norm. But I think I still have a very hard reading grid with myself. Beyond beauty standards, the question is: have we decided to cuddle or not? Because I'm sure there are things that I don't like about myself, and that I would find great in someone else.

I don't know if you've been following, but Keanu Reeves is on everyone's lips right now. Because he's in the next

Matrix

, sure, but mostly because he would be the nicest man in Hollywood. And you, who did you fantasize about when you were young?


On Keanu, I never stopped. I have an Instagram conversation with a friend where we only send each other that, photos of Keanu Reeves. Without saying anything else. And then I had a huge crush on Josh Hartnett, in previous “bouzasses”, like

The Faculty

. And obviously Ryan Phillippe in

Sex Intentions

, who was in this super interesting genre expression made to appeal to 12-year-old girls, with something very feminine, very young.

Ah, and Tupac Shakur too: I was 8 or 10 years old, he was posted up in my room, shirtless, tattoos, a gun in each hand ... And my father said "no, actually".

I had a huge crush on Josh Hartnett, in "bouzasses" before MARINA ROLLMAN

Virginie Ledoyen recently told us: "I left the family home at 15, I wanted to live on my own". Where were you at 15?


I had several houses, my parents were divorced, I lived a little with my boyfriend at the time too ... At 16, I went to boarding school. So I too left the family home very young. I started living in a suitcase and it never really stopped. I have rarely slept for more than 10 days in the same place for 18 years. I like my little roaming life.

In an investigation of friendship in love, we asked ourselves if the secret to lasting love is unfailing friendship. In fact, many refer to their partner as their best friend. Are you one of them?


It's not something I would have said ten years ago but the older I get, the more I think yes, that seems to me to be the absolute foundation. Because the little music of everyday life is not passion, it's “are we getting fried?”, “Do we want to do stupid things together?”, “Do we want to debrief for hours on the qualities and faults of someone we saw during the day?”.

Matthew McConaughey told us in a recent issue: “The first rule in Hollywood? Never show that you need something ”. What is the first rule at France Inter?


It's good to get along with the ladies at the reception when you lose your badge. Because these girls are cerberus, they have so much power! There is this great lady, very beautiful and blonde, a bit like Leonard Bernstein (illustrious composer and conductor,

Editor

's note ) from Radio France, and it is she who decides who comes in, who does not. So better to have it in your pocket. The other essential is to always have in mind the photo of Laurence Bloch

(the boss of France Inter, Editor's note).

So the key is to be comfortable all the way down and up, facing the front desk lady and management.

Getting angry with Nagui, in the end, doesn't matter ...

Listen to the editorial podcast:

<

Traps, fir and tarantula: you can rent the house from the movie

Mum I Missed the Plane

for one night.

Which movie house would you rent in your wildest dreams?

Scarface's


house

to party, with Michelle Pfeiffer stepping out of the elevator, I love ... But especially

Call me by your name's house

, just the right amount of decrepit.

It would be so much my perfect family home for the summer, I would spend all my vacations there.

As soon as you stop apologizing people listen to you a lot more marina rollman

Judith Duportail told us not so long ago: "I made the decision never to have sex again out of politeness". What big decision have you made recently?


I made the decision to try, in my intimate relationships, to be about equal on the counters of "give" and "receive", in terms of energy. I have a tendency to like taking care of people, which doesn't make me a good person at all but someone who needs to be the one who takes care, who listens… So, I want to to have more balanced relationships.

In a psycho article, we wondered why some people fail to apologize. When was the last time you presented yours?


I am a woman and I am Swiss so at home, every second sentence begins with "Excuse me" ... But I try to unlearn and for example, in pro emails, or pro phone calls, to avoid the "hi, excuse me for disturbing you". I get off and it's funny because not apologizing for everything gives me a whole new weight. As soon as you stop apologizing, people listen to you a lot more. There is a kind of natural authority that emanates. Having said that, people who don't apologize make me crazy. It's like people who don't ask questions or who don't laugh, it drives me crazy.

Pio Marmaï told us: "I have a lot of trouble recovering my hourglass figure from confinement". What are you struggling to find?


I find it hard to rediscover this carelessness of endless hours. I loved this stretching time so much ... During the first confinement, I read Joseph Kessel

's Le Tour du malheur

, the 3 or 4 volumes, I don't remember. I remember, on a Tuesday, it was 3 a.m., I didn't want to drop my book, I was hungry, so I went to the kitchen to bake some sandwiches, I went back to bed, nibbling . And this space, like a time when there is no obligation, like the summers of our childhoods, I found it crazy. Time stood still.
