In an interview broadcast Tuesday, May 9, 2023 on the Doctissimo website, Jean-Pierre Foucault revealed that he suffered a cardiac arrest nearly a month ago. The 75-year-old animator was very quickly taken care of by the emergency services.
The septuagenarian was on the tarmac of Marignane airport, not far from Marseille, when he "felt a strong chest tightness". "I asked my wife for some water, but the pain didn't go away," he recalls.
