FIGARO LIVE – On the set of “Buzz TV”, the actress on the poster of a new fiction on France 2 called The taste of crime, remembers a time when she had been the victim of inappropriate gestures on her place of work.


Candice Renoir becomes Laure Grenadier, or almost.

Saturday evening, Cécile Bois is on the bill for Le

Goût du crime

, broadcast on Saturday evening on la Deux.

As its name suggests, gastronomy is at the heart of this thriller.

I accepted this role out of gluttony for the game, more than for gluttony on the plate

”, confides the 51-year-old actress on the set of “Buzz TV” this Thursday.

An interview in which Cécile Bois also returned to the Me Too movement born in the world of cinema with the Weinstein affair.

I was the victim of a director

”, reveals the actress to us without revealing the name of the person concerned.

It was very insidious.

Just before turning, he came to rub against me behind, he came to speak in my ear in a libidinous way.

In the canteen, he offered me to join him in his studio before filming... It was not hidden.

It was so huge that I did not react.

I think I laughed when I got home and said to myself:

“he doesn't doubt anything, the guy”, she says.

I remember talking about it the next day to the assistants, including a girl, and she said to me:

'oh you know, he's like that, that's part of his charm!'

We were very far from the Me Too movement and there was a kind of normalcy.

It was defended by everyone

, ”recalls Cécile Bois again, while specifying that she was not traumatized by this episode.

"

It was anecdotal and it did not upset me to the point of filing a complaint

," she adds.

Cécile Bois has reservations about the Me Too movement.

There is so much progress that now we fall into the other excess, men no longer dare to approach women

, she notes.

Recently I got angry with the story of a friend who is lively, tactile and makes dirty jokes like me.

A young girl was shocked, during a theater rehearsal, at the way he took her.

She went to report him and that boy got fired.

I tell myself that at some point, we will have to find the right balance

, ”she explains.

When we are in rehearsals, we do not pay attention to his gestures.

He was a strong character who had to carry this young woman on his back

, ”she insists.

What about the future of

Candice Renoir

on France 2?

While the end of the flagship series had initially been announced (at the end of a season 10), the fiction returned at the end of the year in the form of a unit.

"

The series is not stopped

", confirms Cécile Bois.

I said that if there was to be a season 11, it would take a real upheaval that the unit offered.

It took a bit of time to adjust.

We are going to shoot a new episode by the end of the year

, ”she reveals again, thus reassuring the fans.
