Like Eric and Ramzy or Omar and Fred, Kad and Olivier are one of those duos who have had a lasting impact on the French. But if their complicity on screen is undeniable, what is it like in real life? Recently, Kad Merad spoke frankly regarding the subject at the microphone of Europe 1. Enough to see it a little more clearly.

Each in their own way, and each in their own style, Kad Merad and Olivier Baroux have built quite a CV over the years. However, it was together that they started out in the 1990s, with sketches that quickly propelled them to the forefront. At that time, moreover, it was Kad who pushed to take the next step, as he recently confided on Europe 1:

We ended up doing the sketches live because I told him: “I want people to see me, I’m tired of people hearing me, I want people to see me play!” »

During this climb, Thomas Isle stressed that there may have been “small ego problems” between the two men. Comments confirmed by Julia Vignali’s companion.

According to Kad, in fact, it was “difficult” for the duo to get started at first. Finally, and fortunately for them, everyone focused on their specificity, which allowed the mayonnaise to take:

Well it’s difficult. First of all, Olivier is a… I’m going to try not to shock him too much this morning, but it’s true that he came as an author. Besides, he continues to be the genius of the duo, if I may say so. He is the creator, I am the creature, if we had to sum it up.

I was already doing theater, I had been a GO at Club Med, so I was quite comfortable and Olivier was less so. But anyway, when we met, Olivier told me: “I will be a director”. And I told him: “I will be an actor”. So there wasn’t too much ego.

Once all this was well calibrated, and egos kept under wraps, the duo had countless successes. Olivier Baroux, in particular, is at the head of the “Tuche” saga. However, he does not want his eternal sidekick to be associated with it, as he revealed on the set of “Télématin”:

I have other plans for him. At a given moment, he has his projects, I have my projects and I know that it would be complicated because “Les Tuche” is very complicated to make. There are a lot of actors, a lot of actresses, so Kad in the middle of all that… He was in the 1 in fact, he made a short appearance, but I told him: “Leave me alone with the Tuches “. We’re going to do things together, but he’d obviously love it, I know him. But no, that’s not possible.

Between Kad Merad and Olivier Baroux, it was therefore at the beginning, during the ascent, that some dissensions appeared. Fortunately, the two men knew how to let their talent and their complicity triumph. Good for them… and for the public, who enjoyed many years of laughter. And it’s not over !
