Pierre Richard tells a curious story about dinner with Charles Aznavour

Legendary French actor Pierre Richard told about a curious incident during a dinner with world-famous chansonnier Charles Aznavour.
Before becoming an actor, Richard tried various activities. Even tried himself in physiotherapy. The actor also took [Académie Charles] Dullin's courses under Jean Vilar. And it is thanks to them that he would meet Charles Aznavour.
Once, at a dinner, during a toast to Charles Aznavour, Pierre Richard became so nervous that he began to wipe his mouth with his own cashmere scarf instead of a napkin. And noticed only when he saw traces of tomato sauce on the scarf.
Yes, Pierre Richard is really clumsy. And the actor himself admits his awkwardness. “I didn't get tired of people talking to me about my old films like The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe… I was made for those roles at the time. I was a comical, clumsy actor. But to play clumsy, you have to be very skillful! Have a sense of distance and pace: the clumsy one may miss their misfortune!"
