For her first film filming, the host Laurence Boccolini had much difficulty giving the reply to a large star of the time, Philippe Noiret.
Presenter and … actress! On promotion for his autobiography entitled Showtime: Souvenirs du Chaos Last April, Laurence Boccolini, known for the program The weak link, returned to her brief career as an actress at the microphone of South radio. During this interview, she notably shared a tasty anecdote on Ripoux 3 by Claude Zidi, her very first appearance in the cinema:
“It fell badly”
“I still played with Philippe Noiret! I was told: 'You know, the big actors will see you arriving, you are not an actress … They are not nice' (…). I arrived on the set of the Ripoux 3, I had been chosen by Zidi, who had called me, I said to myself … Well. I had a long tirade in front of Noiret that I did not know, it was bad!”

“And when I arrived, I was so afraid that I gave up, first time, we start again, I flouted a second time, a third time, and then I did something: on TV, we talk very hard. Finally, we don't speak very hard, but it has to wear, even with a microphone. And there, I said to myself: 'you know it, I do it, I have to say, Say it, howling, almost, with a microphone on me and above my head.

“And Noiret stopped, he took me apart and said to me, 'Hey, is that cinema. What are you getting brought up? Do what you want, what you want, stop, don't take your head.
And a little TV
In Ripoux 3, Boccolini embodies Maud, a burglary accomplice, capable of finding all the equipment necessary for a breakage. We also meet Thierry Lhermitte of course, but also Lorànt Deutsch, Jean-Luc Bideau, Bernadette Lafont, Jean-François Balmer, Chloé Flipo and Jean-Louis Foulquier.
Boccolini also appeared in another feature film five years later, the romantic comedy can you keep a secret? Signed Alexandre Arcady. We will also see her on the small screen in Mademoiselle Joubert – of which she will write three episodes – and Joséphine, guardian angel (2020).
