COLUCHE
Founder of Restos du coeur, actor and humorist, Coluche was born in Paris on October 28, 1944.
After obtaining his school certificate, Michel Gérard Joseph Colucci took the pseudonym Coluche and set up Le Café de la gare with friends. He then created the troupe Au vérité chic parisien. In 1974, Coluche put on the overalls that quickly made him famous, and went on stage to perform his first one-man show. Many sketches quickly become known to the general public, like It’s the Story of a Guy. If success is there, so is love. The comedian married Véronique Kantor in 1975. But the couple divorced a few years later, in 1981. After the stage, Coluche tried his hand at cinema. He plays alongside Louis de Funès in L’Aile ou la Cuisse, then in Tchao Pantin! for which he received the César for best actor in 1984.
If he is passionate about comedy, Coluche is also a big fan of motorcycles. In 1985, he broke the world speed record on a circuit in Italy. The same year, he imagined the Restos du coeur, a foundation dedicated to the most deprived.
On June 19, 1986, the actor tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident in Opio in the Alpes-Maritimes.
Coluche has two sons, Romain (1972) and Marius (1976), born from his union with Véronique.
