After having animated The Best Pastry Chef et Telematinhost Julia Vignali is now the high priestess ofDeal done, and will even have the difficult task of hosting a bonus on Tuesday February 13, with Everyone plays. The opportunity for the faithful to know more about the woman who wears a tattoo on her arm to soothe a childhood trauma.
Julia Vignali is now the boss of the afternoons of France 2. The lovely brunette with the devastating smile has abandoned being too early in the morning Telematin to frequent, at tea time, the sales rooms in the company of auctioneers – at the risk of knocking them out – and antique dealers now known to the general public. The anonymous people are also an integral part of the experience. What would in fact be Deal done without these anonymous people who came to check if, by the greatest chance, the pedestal table left by Aunt Georgette would not be a Majorelle or if the mirror inherited from Tonton Pierre is not a Line Vautrin. We can always dream… Viewers enjoy the change of hands. And will enjoy seeing her again, as a bonus this time, this Tuesday, February 13, at the entertainment of Everyone plays.
Hard to imagine but behind Julia Vignali’s radiant smile lies an immense childhood wound. Those that leave traces and not just in memory. In the columns of Paris Match in 2017 the host opened up, unvarnished, in an accident that occurred in 1980, she was only 5 years old at the time.
“One day, they decide to operate on me otherwise my arm will no longer grow.”
“I spilled my hot chocolate on my pajamas. In acrylic, he literally melted. Marked for life. And, to top it all off, it’s Mother’s Day morning… Happy Mother’s Day!“, quips the host who reveals that this traumatic memory is his first childhood memory. The aftermath is terrible, the little girl suffered third degree burns. “The emergency services having poorly assessed the damage, we spent a bit of time at home. It’s too late for a transplant. So, it’s been years at Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital from Paris, serving serious burn victims twice a week. While my friends have dance or piano, I have hosto!” she confides again.
The consequences are serious. “One day, they decide to operate on me otherwise my arm will no longer grow. It’s better to have an ugly arm with a scar than a little arm that has stopped growing too soon.” she remembers. Then you have to grow with this huge scar that summer clothes oblige us to tell. After having tried for a long time to erase it, the one who has gone through comedy ends up taming it, to the point of wanting to sublimate it, with a tattoo. It will be a cherry blossom tree. The tattoo artist simply leaves 3 cm of scar uncovered, for remembrance. Julia Vignali remembers coming home “exhausted by pain” and full of doubts “I cry afterwards because I can’t get used to this new arm” she confides. It was the words of his son, Luigi, 5 years old at the time, which shed new light on everything. “‘It’s much prettier than before, you did well mom.’ Thanks to him, everything goes away, the pain and the regrets. I got back thirty-five years of my life, I didn’t erase them.” she concludes. The cherry tree, symbol of renewal, has kept its promises.
