The French comedian, actor and producer was the guest, this Saturday, February 17, of Éric Dussart and Jade in “On refait la télé” on RTL.
And after having mentioned his relationship with money or the discrimination he may have suffered in the world of cinema,
Pascal Légitimus
was questioned about the potential return of the legendary comic trio
of the Unknowns
formed by Didier Bourdon, Bernard Campan and him -same and popularized in the 1990s.

“So, we have to remove the word “return” because in fact we never left
,” Pascal Légitimus would like to immediately correct.
And if he affirms that the trio has never separated, their appearances are rare.
Recently, it was Didier Bourdon who spoke nostalgically about these sketches which would no longer be “receivable” in 2024. However, the trio does not seem quite buried.
“Bernard Campan is reluctant”
“We have been fallow since 2013. In 2019 we acted like bastards so we had the opportunity to sing ten of our songs in a medley
,” recalls Pascal Légitimus before revealing that a project with his two friends is in progress.
“There we are preparing a film, I can talk about that a little bit.
It's with Riad Sattouf, the director-writer, and we're supposed to shoot this year.
»
He continues by mentioning a detail which is not one:
“But it is not us who direct and we do not write either”
.
Astonished, Éric Dussart cannot help but question his guest and ask him if all the members of the group have given their agreement.
By answering in the affirmative, Pascal Légitimus specifies that this answer was given
“without consulting each other, that’s what is strong”
.
So far, Pascal Légitimus and Didier Bourdon have spoken openly and enthusiastically about a potential return of the trio.
However, Bernard Campan, the third man, seems to be slowing down the project somewhat.
“So, I specify, for the stage only Bernard Campan is reluctant.
For everything else, no problem but for the stage, doing sketches, being three on stage, putting on a show, unfortunately, he doesn't want to,
regrets the actor before adding:
But that, I understand very well. good and I respect him
.
Pascal Légitimus concludes this parenthesis with a somewhat dubious parallel, comparing the situation to that of a couple:
“after 30 years, always do the missionary position... at a given moment there are other positions”
.
