“The great de Gaulle was right, it’s a shipwreck. »
With much self-deprecation, Gérard Hernandez still keeps a very lucid view of old age. While this prospect frightens many people, others believe that old age has advantages. A point of view that the actor does not share at all.
“Those who tell you that it’s beautiful to get old… No, it’s not beautiful to get old! We resist more or less, good or bad, but it’s not pretty. »
The actor, with his flowery words, did not hesitate to make a hilarious comparison to talk about health.
