Tributes have been pouring in since the announcement of Bruno Salomone’s passing at the age of 55. The news came on Sunday, March 15: the actor’s agent revealed in a statement to AFP that he had passed away after a “long illness.” Predictably, reactions to this sad news were swift. The teams from “Fais pas ci, fais pas ça” were quick to send a heartfelt thought to the man who played Denis Bouley. The same goes for Alexandre Astier, who wrote: “The little world of Kaamelott mourns its Centurion. Ave Bruno.” Florence Foresti and Patrick Sébastien also expressed their feelings on social media following Bruno Salomone’s passing, as did Julie Gayet, who paid a moving tribute to the man who was once part of her life.
All eyes are on the members of Nous Ç Nous since Bruno Salomone’s passing. After an initial tribute on his Instagram story, his close friend Jean Dujardin expressed his emotions in another post. “My Bruno. Tonight, I have no words. I only have images, laughter, looks… Nous Ç Nous will always walk by your side. Thank you for your talent, your friendship, and your beautiful humanity. I cry for you, I kiss you, and I love you,” he wrote, accompanied by a photo of the five members of the troupe. Following this touching tribute from the Oscar-winning actor, it is now Éric Collado’s turn, another key figure of Nous Ç Nous, to break his silence. On his Instagram account, the Marseille native simply shared a brief excerpt of a sketch filmed with the man who had recently married before his passing. “The first to caress the swallows. A little my brother,” reads the caption.
In addition to the numerous messages honoring Bruno Salomone’s memory, the outgoing mayor of Joinville-le-Pont, where the star of “Brice de Nice” lived for over a decade, revealed to Le Parisien that he was considering paying a tribute to him. “He was nice and simple, approachable, absolutely not like a star, so people really loved him,” Olivier Dosne told our colleagues, without giving further details on his project. However, nothing is set in stone yet due to the upcoming municipal elections ending on March 22.
