 Strictly *not* War on Terror, I know, but such a nice story! | Marge Simpson, a romantic at heart, would surely approve. The French pair who have dubbed Marge and Homer for 18 years fell in love while playing the Simpsons, America's longest-running and arguably best-known animated sitcom.
And the happily-married French couple who voice the purple-haired housewife with the pearls and her buffoonish beer-bellied mate again lend their voices to the French-language version. Valerie's gruff-voiced rendition was a hit. "I had to force it so much at first that sometimes I couldn't even speak." She never imagined at the time that her voice-over duo with then husband-to-be Philippe Peythieu as Homer, laid-back father of Bart, Lisa and baby Maggie, would last 400 episodes.
"It's fun, we have a good time, the series is still just as popular as it ever was," said Philippe. |
