👎 Humor may feel dated to some.

Daniel Auteuil = François Pignon Gérard Depardieu = Félix Santini Thierry Lhermitte = Guillaume Pignon sur le point de se faire virer, fait croire son homosexualité (une idée de son voisin homosexuel qui, paradoxalement, s'est fait viré à cause de son homosexualité 20 ans avant), n'est pas licencié et le regard des autres est différents (affection pour certain, et répugnance pour d'autre), sexualisation de gestes normaux (tenir la main, attendre devant un lycée), il arrête le mensonge et tout se remet en place.
