Guy Bedos

Guy Bedos (né Guy René Bédos; 15 June 1934 – 28 May 2020) was a French screenwriter, stand-up comedian and actor (mostly known for his part in the film Nous irons tous au paradis). He was a French man born in Algeria, a former French department. He is identified as a Pied-Noir, name given to the French people by the Algerians in assimilation with the French sailers who were navigating with steam boat. As they were walking barefoot on coal their feet were black. At Music-Hall, he interpreted various sketches of authors like him. He developed a regularly updated political satire. This satire affected mostly right-wing politicians, his "friends" of the left also suffer from his cutting reflections. He was also known for his left-wing political affiliation, having supported politicians such as François Mitterrand. Bedos was born in Algiers, Algeria, the son of Alfred Bedos, a health visitor, and Hildeberte Verdier, daughter of the headmaster of the high school Bugeaud, where he was raised. His parents separated. He was tossed around, home to hotel, in Kouba, where there was a pension at age seven in Finouche, who served as a teacher, Souk Ahras and Constantine. He enrolled at the age of thirteen with a Catholic high school in Bone. According to his autobiography ‘Memories d’outre-mere’, his bad relationship with his mother and step-father made his life very difficult. His step-father beat his mother, who beat her son. He also tells us that his step-father was racist and antisemitic, but that his mother gave him his human political consciousness. He also revealed that during that period of time he had obsessive compulsive disorders.
