Invited on March 13 in Michel Drucker’s weekly program on France 2, the comedian could not hide his sadness by talking about the invasion of his country of origin.
From laughter to tears. The atmosphere between the guests – Stéphane Plaza, Valérie Mairesse, Jeanfi Janssens – and their host Michel Drucker was nevertheless jovial on the set of “Vivement Dimanche”. But a question from the presenter of France 2 addressed to the comedian and ex-steward, came to interrupt a giggle and greatly weigh down the atmosphere. “So Jeanfi, I can’t help thinking about Ukraine. Are you of Ukrainian origin? the host asks his guest. While nodding, the actor, currently on the boards of the Bouffes Parisiens for the play A magical couple by Laurent Ruquier, could not hide his emotion.

“It’s complicated at the moment, these are my origins, my blood. Even if I no longer have family there, I still have border family. That to me…(sic)” can’t he continue with a lump in his throat. To dissipate the pain of her playing partner, the actress Valérie Mairesse, challenges Michel Drucker, asking him to “Don’t make Jeanfi Janssens cry” car “He is very sensitive”.
A tribute to his Ukrainian grandparents
Before pulling himself together and radically changing the subject, the actor, also a regular member of the show “Les Grosses Têtes” on RTL, wished to conclude on the question: “I find it incredible that in 2022, we have a war, it’s good to talk about it. We pray for them, we hope it will stop. he explains.

If the presenter of “Vivement Dimanche” questioned Jeanfi Janssens on the subject, it is because the comedian regularly declares his support for Ukraine on social networks. On February 24, Stéphane Plazza’s friend shared a photo of his Ukrainian grandparents Stefan and Sophia Stryhanyn on Instagram. “I can’t help but think about the blood running through my veins, freedom-loving Ukrainian blood. Yours Grandpa.” he wrote to accompany the snap.
