Gaston Ardisson was present, with his sisters Manon and Ninon, to the farewell of Thierry Ardisson. And the son seems to adopt everything from the father …
They were all there, gathered to greet their father one last time. The children of Thierry Ardisson paid him a final tribute this July 17, during the ceremony organized at the Saint-Roch church, in Paris. Manon, Ninon and Gaston, all three born from the animator’s second marriage to Béatrice Loustalan, who became Beatrice Ardisson, they displayed united alongside Audrey Crespo-Mara, omnipresent since the announcement of the disappearance.
The tribute will have been a strange mixture of all that Ardisson was: religious, provocative and rock’n’roll. The photos of this highlight are also numerous, as are the guests, from Brigitte Macron to Michel Drucker, from Laurent Baffie to Delphine Ernotte, or from Léa Salamé to Marc-Olivier Fogiel.
But there is undoubtedly an image that will remain: that of Gaston Ardisson, last son of Thierry Ardisson born in 1996 and barely 30 years old. In the images of the news channels, the shots of the celebrity press, as in the photos of agencies, some have already noticed the Ardisson style in its purest expression.
Costume on a black t-shirt (as the dress-code asked), a piercing look, very often cigarette in the beak and especially the most nonchalant posture … Everything was gathered in the son, as a tribute to the paternal. At the end of the ceremony, backed by a wall of the church, Gaston Ardisson probably gave the most beautiful illustration that he is indeed the son of his father. A photo also noticed as the resemblance is striking.
Gaston Ardisson was so far unknown to the general public. Musician by training, he worked in Ardisong with his mother. According to Télé Loisirs, he will be called “Edward Newgate” in his youth for a time, in tribute to the Manga One Piece. “It must be said that it was a lot bored with my name,” he said in an interview with the Technikart site in April 2016. In 2017, Gaston Ardisson also launched Oxygen Water, water designer in the can. He also created the Nasaseasons cap brand.
On the eve of the funeral, Wednesday, July 16, he was almost for the first time or almost in the documentary of Audrey Crespo-Mara, The hidden side of the man in black On TF1, confessing that Thierry Ardisson could be “very deconnade”, but also “very severe”.
And not embarrassed the least, Gaston Ardisson did not hesitate to recall the egocentrism of this funny paternal, who liked to “be at the center of attention”. “In the classic scheme of the classic family, people might think that he was absent,” will also indicate the latter about his father’s devouring professional life, before adding, playful: “Since he could be a little boring, I don’t think I would have been very happy to see my father every day!” A cheek that vaguely reminds us of someone.
