Benjamin Biolay unmanageable? He has already destroyed “at least two hotel rooms”

Benjamin Biolay is an artist of character, one could say…. He is not known for practicing wooden language. We no longer count his disputes with other colleagues like Bénabar or Michel Fugain. Recently, he also strongly defended the Aya Nakamura option for the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, calling those who criticize this possible choice “old boomers, reactive and racist” on RTL. And yes, he’s like that Benjamin, he’s rock. Has he, like rockstars, ever demolished a hotel room? Yes, and even several times.

Benjamin Biolay unmanageable customer at the hotel?

Guest on the set of Daily to promote his film, the 51-year-old singer and actor was questioned about a scene from the film and the host Yann Barthès sought to find out if he had already demolished hotel rooms. “Yes. At least two. But once collectively, yes and once, alone, it is possible“, replied Benjamin Biolay. The artist, who lives between Paris, Sète and Buenos Aires in Argentina, did not however specify the dates or the reasons behind this rampage…

Catherine Deneuve’s ex, however, continued her story, at the insistence of the host who wanted to know more about this behavior borderline. “When the sink has really come off its axis. We say to ourselves: ‘Hey, I’m destroying the room.’“, explained Chiara Mastroianni’s ex-companion nonchalantly, to the laughter of the audience on set.

The day Benjamin Biolay returned to the same hotel…

Benjamin Biolay, who undoubtedly hopes that his daughter Anna – also an actress notably seen in the series Nude on Amazon Prime Video – does not follow in his footsteps, explained that he was very embarrassed when he realized, the next time, that he was staying in the same hotel where he had destroyed a room.

“I was filming in La Rochelle and I arrived at the hotel, I said to myself: ‘Holy shit, why did they put me there?’ And I had to tell them, ‘Hello, Mr. Biolay, I have a room.’ And I had destroyed a room, at the Francofolies, two years before What.” And the staff of the establishment does not seem to hold it against him since the employees continue to welcome him without problem. “So, every time, I go there and it’s our joke between us, what“, he added.

Today, far from being the lawless hothead type, Benjamin Biolay recognizes that he still has a big problem to resolve: “I stopped being a drunk a long time ago. I only drink one glass of wine, in the dressing room, before the show. But I still smoke too much…“, he confided to Marie-France. He still has the rest of the year to try to quit smoking.
