On 22 December 2011, in an interview published in Libération, a French daily newspaper, he mentioned his deceased family members, including Françoise Dorléac, ‘’I had a fiancee, Francoise Dorleac. Since her death, I cannot pass La Louvre without looking at it. Because Francoise died in a car accident, he no longer drove.
Career
In 1965, he started the music hall Bobino co-starring with Barbara, and then began a career as a comedian forming, a duet with Sophie Daumier, whom he married 19 February 1965. After their divorce in 1977, he started his solo career, as an actor in film and television movies.
He is known for his recurring role of Simon in the 1970s, as a doctor suffocated by his very possessive Jewish-foot-black mother, in An Elephant that Deceives Enormously and, We Will All Go to the Paradise of Yves Robert.
Since then, he has directed and performed many shows, including one with Michel Boujenah and Smaïn entitled Coup de soleil at the Olympia, and one in duet with Muriel Robin in 1992.
He has also performed in plays such as La Résistible Ascension by Bertolt Brecht.
He contributed regularly to the satirical weekly, Siné Hebdo created by Siné, until it was not published. He had taken the defense of Siné when he had been accused of anti-Semitism by the director of Charlie Hebdo, Philippe Val.
Engagements in Politics and the Public
Sometimes at differences with his ideas, he felt "closer to Albert Camus rather than Enrico Macias."
Bedos was a "man of the left" without supporting any particular political party. In 2012, he moved in Hénin-Beaumont to support the candidacy of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
He was often indicated as one of the representatives of the left wing by essayists and personalities of the right, among whom notably are Éric Zemmour or Jean Roucas.
In 2008, he showed his support for Yvan Colonna.
In October 2013 during a show, he portrayed the old Minister of Employment Nadine Morano, setting off many comments in mass media. Brought on by the last action, he was discharged by the court of Nancy.
He also continued to support the activists of the right association in accommodation. He was a member of the League of Human Rights.
He was a member of the Honorary Committee of the Association for the right to
He was part of the committee in support of journalist Denis Robert at Florange on 10 November 2007.
In the citizen primary in 2017, he supported Arnaud Montebourg, stating "I think Manuel Valls is left as I am far-right. There are a lot of things that I have disliked in his behavior when he was Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior." Initially named the head of the committee in support of Montebourg, Bedos started to refuse by presiding over, then accepted it before giving it away again.
He intervened again, unexpectedly according to him, declaring it was "left but not Socialist" and reminded that he was against racism in all forms "but I’m not always okay with how our Muslim friends treat women. I say. I don’t care if someone doesn’t like it."
Bedos had come to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon on 18 March 2017 to market for the Republic life of the rebellious France.
Labour court judgement and condemnation
Bedos was sanctioned in 1995 by the labor court of Tours for having fired a couple he had hired for the maintenance of a rented castle.
