The 54-year-old actress and 69-year-old singer-songwriter, at the top of the annual “JDD” poll, share a certain discretion, and a long history with their audiences. /
The World
Years go by, sometimes far from the spotlight, but their popularity is intact. In 2020, Jean-Jacques Goldman and Sophie Marceau remain the most popular figures of the French. However, both have not been overwhelmed with projects this year. A appearance on social networks the time of a musical tribute to the nursing staff for the first, officially retired since the album Chansons pour les pieds in 2001. Not a single film for the second, only a return to the screens announced for 2021 in front of François Ozon’s camera.
“In the Top 50, discretion is not a handicap, on the contrary “, notes the Journal du dimanche, which has just published the results of its annual poll . “The former have often built a long relationship with the French, to the point of entering into their intimacy and today embodying a memory or a period of their life.”
The “retirement effect “for Jean-Pierre Pernaut
The 2020 ranking does however have some surprises in store. If, among men, Omar Sy remains on the second place of the podium (the actor only succeeded in dethroning Jean-Jacques Goldman in 2016), it is a young retiree who climbs to third place: Jean -Pierre Pernaut. The former presenter of the 13 hours of TF1 seems to have benefited from his farewell to gain popularity.
Side women , behind Sophie Marceau, two other actresses complete the podium: Alexandra Lamy, very popular since her interpretation of Chouchou in A guy, a girl at the beginning of the 2000s, and Mimie Mathy, who thus finds the third place, a few years after having occupied the top of the ranking.
Among the new entrants (or returns to favor), there are about ten personalities, such as chefs Philippe Etchebest (7 e ) and Cyril Lignac (14 e ), and two comedians, Anne Roumanoff (11 e ) and Michèle Laroque (14 e ). On the other hand, no political figure succeeds in standing among the fifty most popular French people. Catherine Deneuve, Christian Clavier, Fabrice Luchini and Gad Elmaleh have simply left the Top 50.
