It was during the most recent episode of Pour emporter, deftly steered by France Beaudoin, that Normand Brathwaite served as the main guest. The man of many talents opened up about a wide range of life topics: his private life, his career, his relationship with money, and also his health.

Let us also recall that he shared the unusual — and rather strange — tale of his marriage proposal to Marie-Claude Tétreault, at the request of France Beaudoin.
“I’d been with my girlfriend for ten days. Then, you know, I was a total mess out in the city, there. (…) At one point, I saw a photo; they had cropped Marie out, who was beside some host I don’t know. Then they pasted that onto Johanne’s body. But Marie’s head looked too big, you know, it didn’t work. So I said: Look Marie, I’d like the world to know about this. So we did a photo session in Le Lundi. Then we came back from a trip, I open Le Lundi. And I see: “The woman who’s trying to make him forget Johanne.” Then, at one point, I told her: “I’m a total mess right now, but I think I’ll turn out to be a good guy for you.” And I did what’s awful — I know, everyone told me so. I called the Panneton clan. They showed up… she was eating her lunch in the morning (…) They cleaned up the house, they did everything… from Marie’s place, and they brought her over to our place (…) she wasn’t aware,”
It was a bit later in the program when he opened up about his health — something that had become a very worrying matter at one point.
These revelations came as the host broached the mini-stroke he had suffered, and she wanted to know how he had endured it.
“It’s a wake‑up call. My doctor in France, I went to see her and she told me: Okay, the party is over… Then the party isn’t just about having a drink; it’s about putting on such a show, then hopping in a taxi to do another show, and saying yes to everyone,” the Normand candidly admitted.
Cnaître a suivi: France then asked whether he might have been the type who would easily fall into substance use.
“Oh yes, I could have. I have a side to me: I need to reward myself when I work hard, and all that. There’s nothing more fun, after Belle et Bum, than heading to the Express with the band. You have to live that part, because that’s how you are… You can’t sleep…,” he replied, clearly aiming to explain that after an adrenaline rush, a little indulgence with the crew is in order.
A genuine moment of vulnerability for Normand on Pour emporter.
