Several hours after the announcement of the death of the comedian this Sunday, many personalities from the world of culture took to social media. They all praise a talented comedian and “a good man” who has “left his mark on French television.”
A flood of tributes poured in in the hours following the announcement of Bruno Salomone’s death. Many personalities from the cinema world, including former screen partners, came forward to pay tribute to the memory of the actor who passed away at the age of 55 on Sunday.
Valérie Bonneton, who had shared the adventure of “Fais pas ci, fais pas ça” with him, expressed her emotions in an interview with Le Parisien. “There is nothing more painful than realizing that we will no longer see someone we love,” she said, mentioning “a dear friend” and “a wonderful person.”
An actor who has “left his mark on French television”
The online statements resonate with Bruno Salomone’s long career, where he stood out in multiple programs. “The little world of Kaamelott mourns its Centurion. Hail Bruno,” praised Alexandre Astier, creator of the series Kaamelott in which the actor appeared in the 2000s, on Instagram.
“Great,” wrote the comedian Florence Foresti, while M6 noted that Bruno Salomone “will have left his mark on French television with his humor and unforgettable characters: thank you for the laughter and memories.”
“A unique figure”
In “Fais pas ci, fais pas ça,” “his humor and timing had won over the audience,” noted the Canal+ X account.
On his part, Patrick Sébastien, who had propelled the group “Nous c’est nous” of which Salomone was a part in his shows, opened up to Paris Match. “A few weeks ago, Jean Dujardin called me because Bruno wanted to review all the sequences and sketches they had done in my shows. In the night, we put together the video and showed it to him. Apparently, it made him happy,” explained the emotional host.
Jean Dujardin simply shared a photo of the comedian on his Instagram account. “My brother,” he wrote in the caption.
The death of Bruno Salomone also prompted a response from the government. The new Minister of Culture, Catherine Pégard, expressed her “deep emotion” after the passing of this “talented comedian, a unique and beloved figure of the public.”
