With the exception of Happiness (of which he is even more proud this year, as he explains to us here), a role in the new drama High demolition (regarding which we tell you everything here) and sporadic appearances here and there, Michel Charette has become rarer on our screens since the end of District 31last spring.
Is this momentary distancing from the light a disappointment for the actor, who had been accustomed for six years to daily exposure to the public eye and to a more than sustained pace of work?
Absolutely not, he told Showbizz.net.
« It feels good! “, he advanced. “JI miss the camaraderie and friends a lot, I miss playing that character [Bruno Gagné, NDLR], and I miss the check, of course…(laughs). »
« But the workload, I don’t miss it. It was a big, big workload. But I’m a hard worker, we did it well, we steered the boat safely. We finished it, we didn’t do the year too many. It was an extraordinary adventure “, added Michel Charette, who still cherishes the friendships made in the setting of post 31.
« Vincent-Guillaume Otis, Sebastien Delorme, Gildor [Roy], they have become great friends. Vincent-Guillaume, I still work with him, we talk to each other almost every day, he’s a very important guy in my life. »
Another artist who is very important in the life of Michel Charette is François Chénier. The Jean-Lou and the Carl Charest of Radio Nursing never stopped working as a team; they are playing together on stage right now in the play The real world?, by Michel Tremblay (« That’s why my mustache and my dyed hair, it’s a professional choice and not personal “, laughed Michel Charette), they write and direct in tandem the production of summer theater Free visit 2.0which will play at the Théâtre des Hirondelles this summer, and François will direct the one man show which Michel is currently developing with ComediHa! and that they also sign with four hands. The tour of this show will begin at the moment.
Finally, Michel Charette is working, also with ComediHa!, on writing a series intended for one of Bell Media’s platforms, the details of which remain secret for the moment.
Cynthia Wu-Maheux, la Da-Xia Bernard de District 31, also spoke to us regarding this project with a touch of nostalgia, in the fall.
