A month ago, beloved French actor and comedian \u00a0Dany Boon\u00a0 was involved in a serious \u00a0car accident\u00a0 on the roads of Moselle while returning from a family outing. On June 1st, he opened up about the details of this incident during an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n
Having narrowly escaped a potential tragedy, Boon recounted the events of May 5th, when he experienced a violent collision at the exit of the A4 motorway while returning from a day at \u00a0Europa-Park\u00a0, Germany. Near Boulay in Moselle, his car collided with another vehicle. He was quickly transported to the Metz-Mercy Hospital for medical examinations but was soon declared out of danger. On June 1st, the creator of “Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis” divulged the circumstances of his accident for the first time during an interview with \u00a0RTL\u00a0.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t want this to be known,\u201d he admitted to Bruno Guillon. He continued, \u201cLuckily, everything went well; no one was harmed. I was alone in the car, I hit a truck, and I ended up in a field. It ended well; I came out unscathed. My car, however, was demolished.\u201d Although the situation was alarming, the 58-year-old actor emphasized the fortitude of his vehicle \u2014 a \u00a0BMW electric car\u00a0 \u2014 which he believes played a crucial role in his survival during the collision.<\/p>\n
Boon further expressed a wish for his accident to remain private, stating that even before he exited the vehicle, a crowd began to gather. \u201cI was in my car. People came to see me… \u2018Are you okay, sir? Oh no!\u2019 I kept saying, \u2018Yes, it\u2019s me, it\u2019s nothing serious, please don\u2019t spread the word!\u2019\u201d Unfortunately, with witnesses at the scene, along with the arrival of the fire department and gendarmes, the news quickly leaked.<\/p>\n
In the aftermath, false rumors began circulating on \u00a0social media\u00a0, reporting Dany Boon\u2019s death. True to his comedic roots, Boon responded with humor in a video on his Instagram account: \u201cI\u2019ve just unfortunately learned of my death. What can I say, except that it\u2019s always the best who leave first. I find it hard to accept… I am totally in denial about my death, deeply in denial\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
With characteristic self-deprecation, he took to his Instagram once again days later, playful as ever, announcing that his films had soared to the \u00a0top 10\u00a0 of the most-watched comedies on Netflix since the rumors began. Fortunately, the accident left no physical scars on the actor, who is known for his roles in both comedy and dramatic films.<\/p>\n
During his appearance on RTL, Boon took a moment to express his profound gratitude to the medical teams who cared for him. As a gesture of appreciation, he cordially invited them to attend his next show in Metz.<\/p>\n
