In this new phase, Thierry Ardisson can count on the unwavering support of his “soulmate . ” “We hope the carcinoma disappears ,” adds Audrey Crespo-Mara, sitting at his bedside. Despite this bad news, Laurent Baffie’s friend remains optimistic. “I believe in my lucky star ,” he asserts. And he continues philosophically: “When you see where I’ve come from, honestly, if I didn’t have a lucky star, I wouldn’t be here, even in this bed .” When he reminds the nurse of his date of birth, she points out that his birthday is fast approaching. To which the former host of Salut les Terriens replies, with a touch of humor: “Will you be here? Because I’ll certainly be celebrating my birthday here! It’s become a part of my life.” Although life gave him more than he had hoped for, Thierry Ardisson did not want to let illness have the last word.
