The disappearance of Bruno Salomone, who passed away on March 15, 2026 at the age of 55, has deeply affected the public. Before his death, Jean Dujardin’s best friend had revealed a very special role during an interview. Invited to “Télématin” in February 2025, the comedian humorously shared his desire for dubbing. This touching confession resonates today as tributes pour in following the announcement of his passing.
A disappearance that shakes the world of television Bruno Salomone’s death was announced on March 15, 2026 by his agent Laurent Grégoire to AFP. The actor had been battling cancer for several years. He is remembered for his role as Denis Bouley in the beloved series “Fais pas ci, fais pas ça,” which made him very popular. Following news of his death, many personalities reacted emotionally. Actress Hélène de Fougerolles, who had often worked with him, revealed in Paris Match: “I knew he was ill. Two or three years ago, during dinner, he confessed to me: ‘You know, I had cancer.’ She also later learned that the disease had returned.
Very discreet about his health status, the actor didn’t want to worry those around him. Hélène de Fougerolles said: “He didn’t want people to feel sorry for him. In September, he couldn’t work anymore as he had to fight the disease.” She mentioned that they regularly exchanged messages to support each other. In one message, she wrote: “A little Saturday thought with some sunshine from the south, I send you kisses.” He replied: “Thank you, I will fight.” The disease ultimately prevented him from returning to his role in the police series “A priori,” whose airing is scheduled to begin on France 3 at the end of the month.
The role Bruno Salomone dreamed of before his death A few months before his disappearance, Bruno Salomone participated in the show “Télématin” on France 2. During the interview, he talked about the death of the famous dubbing actor Med Hondo, the French voice of Eddie Murphy. With humor, he imitated the actor’s voice, causing laughter on set, especially from presenter Flavie Flament. The actor admitted to being a big admirer of Eddie Murphy since his early days. During the exchange, he also revealed an unfinished dream: “I am an absolute fan of Eddie Murphy. I believe he is looking for a new voice since Med Hondo is gone,” he explained. Another commentator joked: “Well, they found him!” Bruno Salomone, amused, replied: “Yeah, but they didn’t call me! To do the voice of Shrek.” He then imitated the character from the animated film “Shrek,” provoking more laughter. This confession now resonates with emotion, revealing the simple desire of an actor passionate about dubbing and comedy.
