Florent Pagny: « The tumor has shrunk a lot »
Regarding his health, the interpreter of My freedom of thought assured him that he was much better. « I exit the tunnel. I passed the pure chemo, the one that fights, accompanied by rays: heartache for twelve days, it’s no longer a joke! You know, the seasickness you get after you’ve been on dry land for a week.

But, as long as my voice is there, I am there! I won’t give up! And I’ll finish my tour after I’ve gotten back together! »he concluded.
