"It was very, very hard because I was with him at the time... I don't like to say at the time of the incident because it looks like a police officer, but we had to see each other [...] We were in the same city, in Marrakech together," he recalled to RTL journalists. In the end, it was Wahid Bouzidi's wife who called him to inform him of his hospitalization.
"It was very complicated for me... Until now, a little bit," he says, adding: "I'm thinking about him." I miss him so much. He's in my heart but I wish he was here for real." Long-time friends, the two men have collaborated on many occasions, whether at the Jamel Comedy Club, the Marrakech du rire, in "Vendredi tout est permis" or in the play La Grande évasion and have never left each other's side. "I've really lost someone very close to me," Booder said.
