SaligoBay Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 He was brilliant as Caius Céplus in the Asterix film. Do you think he'd make as good a job of being president of France? http://www.msn.fr/news/gen/Default.asp?id=060124201311.m1e19z25.asp&MSPSA=1[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkkent Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 France is a secular state. The name makes him ineligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Riff-Raff Element Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Personally I think that this is a plan with few or no flaws. If he hisses in that threatening manner that he uses in mission cleopatreI imagine that he should quickly gain the respect (fear - a greatmotivator) of Sarko and Dom-Dom. It would certainly make meetings ofthe EU comission more fun. Actors should enter politics: most existingpoliticians (usually lawyers, it seems) have little grasp of the realworld, so having professionals in instead to maintain the fictions ofgovernment should be highly satisfactory. Old Ronnie R did a splendidjob in the US, after all, and he was only awake about 25% of the time.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mochas Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Off the top of my head I can think of several other actors who've become politicians:Glenda Jackson MPThe one from East Enders, now an MEPSonny (of he and Cher) onetime Mayor of Palm SpringsClint Eastwood ditto of CarmelArnold Schw etc now Governor of Californiaand not forgetting (how could we?) La Cicciolina, the Italian porn star who somehow managed to become an MP...Don't know of any French ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[:)]There's probably an obscure ancient French law which says that you're not allowed to be president if you have curly hair and wear an anorak.If he made it, he would be President M'Bala M'Bala..............

It's very easy for us PC whities to think we're the only ones who do racism.Was it just a sketch, or did he mean it..............or maybe I'm just harbouring a secret desire to have the hissing Caius Céplus as president.

moonraker Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 He died in a motorbike accident in 1986 unfortunately. He founded the "restos du coeur" and they are still going strong!

Teamedup Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Coluche just 'died in a motorbike accident'Didn't feel like that at the time................. so I am rather with the conspiracy theorists on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may have been someone else too -no matter. Now T Banks was only a sometime embarassment in the foot /mouth juxtraposition stakes, but the other two were downright bolshie.I'd be quite worried were I Clare Short. T.Blair has a tenuous link toshow biz (having seen a couple of his father-in-laws treading of theboards, "tenuous" may be a bit generous), so I suppose he could sneakin under the wire....
