Comedians, personalities of the spectacle and politicians greeted Thursday the memory of Guy Bedos, died the same day in Paris at the age of 85, an artist as well known for his fierce humor as his commitments.
Muriel Robin (at AFP), who played on stage with him in 1992–1993:
“Guy was a dirty kid who liked to go where it stings. He was a courageous and committed man, until the act on the ground. He was not just thinking in his living room. Guy was like my big brother. In life, he was very tender and gentle. We had come to know that he was not just what he seemed to be. With Jean-Loup Dabadie the same week , people of spirit are leaving these days. This is something that is in the process of disappearing. To believe that they have given themselves the word … It is a part of our lives that is leaving go”.
Jean-Michel Ribes, director of the Rond-Point theater (at AFP):
“Guy Bedos was absolutely fused with the idea of resistance laughter. He was one of the comedians who are not snickers. Behind the great talent for provoking laughter with earthiness and provocation, there was also that of a poet” .
Jean-Marie Bigard (on Twitter) :
“We have lost our greatest defender of freedom of expression. A loving thought for his children who inherited his genius.”
Anne Roumanoff (to AFP):
“Guy Bedos was the creator of political humor in France. He carried the art of the press review very high by commenting directly on the news well before the Guignols. There were before the chansonniers in the cabarets, but Guy Bedos raised it to the rank of art and made it popular. He created a style like no other. He embodied irreverence, ferocity, cruelty but also great tenderness. There were only three TV channels, he did not hesitate to criticize the left when he was on the left. He had a huge impact. He was courageous and free. “

Jack lang, former Minister of Culture (in a press release):
“He was a militant humanist, committed, at the same time idealistic and critical. He did not give up anything and could be very severe. Guy Bedos was demanding and determined. I liked his frankness all Mediterranean, he went straight to the point, without counterfeits . He never compromised, especially not with his convictions and his passions. “
Francois Hollande (on Twitter) :
“Guy Bedos has accompanied us for decades. His humor was a formidable weapon against racism and stupidity which he relentlessly fought against. The left was his family, he treated him harshly because he expected a lot from him. His talent and his anger will be missed. “
The Minister of Culture Franck Riester (on Twitter) :
“Guy Bedos shared his humor and his convictions with the same sincerity and the same passion. We will remember in particular his great roles in cinema, his unforgettable shows and his free speech. I think of his family and loved ones, whom I share the trouble. “
Gilles Jacob, former president of the Cannes Film Festival (on Twitter):
“He follows Jean-Loup Dabadie closely, as if the band was dying out. He was fat, he was funny, he was tender, he was deep, he was excellent in his stage and cinema alone. He had a way to make people laugh in two stages, who folded the rooms in two, Guy Bedos “.
The actor Jean Dujardin posted a photo of Guy Bedos, laughing eye, with the caption “Monsieur Guy Bedos” on Instagram.
