Serge Thériault, who is greatly missed by Quebecers, made a notable appearance in the special program marking the 25th anniversary of the film Les BoysSunday evening, on TVA.
The interpreter of Môman in The little life and François in the franchise THE Boys was not on set during the recording with his comrades Rémy Girard (Stan), Pierre Lebeau (Méo), Paul Houde (Fern), Patrick Huard (Ti-Guy), Patrick Labbé (Mario), Roc Lafortune (Julien ), Marc Messier (Bob), Maxim Roy (Sonia) and Yvan Ponton (Jean-Charles).

However, we see him in the flesh in recorded segments.
He plays backgammon with Luc Guérin (Marcel), as the two men did at the time during filming on the players’ bench.
The 75-year-old actor and comedian looks in good shape, having stayed out of the spotlight in recent years due to mental health issues and depression. THE touching documentary Outside Serge outsideby Martin Fournier and Pier-Luc Latulippe, released in 2021, also dealt with the fact that he had not set foot outside his home for six years.
Of the Boys on the same equal footing
Serge Thériault talks regarding his experience in the first four films of the Boys where, he said, all actors “were equal”.
“There’s not one that was in a Winnebago or somewhere. Everyone was equal, that’s what was good and that was the producer who managed to do that because for him, there was no starsthere were just players, that’s it,” says Serge Thériault.

On the bottom row: Dominic Philie (Boisvert), Serge Thériault (François), Marc Messier (Bob) and Patrick Huard (Ti-Guy).
The latter summarizes the project of Boys by evoking “simplicity, fun, the work, the sweat, the attention to others, watching when others are in trouble and saying: “okay, I’ll go help them”. That’s what, for me, is the pleasure of being together all the time.”
Surprise return in The little life 2.0
Proof that he is getting better: Serge Thériault is starting to make appearances once more here and there, for our greatest pleasure. In addition to the show Les Boys 25e birthday – It won’t have been an easy one!, il also surprised everyone by appearing in the very last scene of the new episodes of The little life alongside “Pôpa”, played by Claude Meunier. The two shared the stage for years in the duo Paul and Paul and in Ding and Dong, so it’s always touching to find them together.
ICI Première also announced last week that Serge Thériault will speak alongside his lifelong accomplice Claude Meunieron December 24, at 5 p.m., on ICI Première as part of the show The snowflakes are gathered!. This will be piloted by Stéphane Laporte.
