But if the subject was serious and particularly close to his heart, the former juror of “Top Chef” also made an impression because of an impressive black eye.

, he asked his guest.

Visibly amused by the question, Thierry Marx then replied:
“No, no, it’s judo and two heads that should not have met.
It’s the joys of sport and the pleasure of sport
. ”

“I was hanging out in the stairwell for a bit.
One day, there was a guy who said to me:
“It's all well and good to do tricks in the stairwell, but come to judo and we'll see”
.

I left the neighborhood [...] and above all it took me out of the environment I was in
