Alone, with his family, next to his mother or sons, Martin Vachon spent many good moments in front of the small screen….
Martin, what shows influenced you when you were young?
Among all those that come to mind about baby Martin, there is Little life. It was a family: we were fooling around, laughing. I was a big fan.
Then the people of Radio Enfer were my best friends. Sometimes I had the privilege of having dinner in the living room. My mom would put a little napkin and I could eat before the show. It was happiness. On Friday nights I would rather do just that than go play with my friends.
I wanted to be too Fearless; I made up stories where I was an investigator who had to solve cases.
Are you planning any more family gatherings?
My mother and I also have a soap opera section. The biggest one we followed was 4 and a half…. I've wanted boxers for so long because of Serge Postigo's dog! My mother also listened to a lot of translated soap operas. My mother was a big TV consumer, so I followed her. Caleb's Daughters, Buscott…My mom really liked it too Cormorant. We made predictions as a family during the Gemini awards ceremony, we had to react quickly and count the points.
Did you also play sports?
God, I used to watch wrestling with my brother. My father took us to the Forum. So Hulk Hogan's death affected me a lot more than I thought. Hulk Hogan was my first superhero. I also liked his films, for example mr nanny.
Is it important for you to introduce boys to your series?
When I was young, there were books. Dragon Ball. Every evening I reread them with my guys. They remade the series Dragon Ball Superwith other adventures. I listened to this last summer and my boys started listening to it with me. There were over 100 episodes, but I couldn't listen to them without them. We did Kame Hame Ha. [une technique de combat qui génère une grande énergie, NDLR] in front of the TV to help the main character! It touched me.
What about Quebec content?
They listen to so much content on YouTube. I'm mad at French YouTubers. I told the guys, “If you listen to content from Quebec like Poemwith real people, in Quebec French, there will be no restrictions. Listen as much as you want, it doesn’t bother me.” Our generation was saved by the fact that the Internet did not exist.
Finally, is there a character for young people that you would be happy to play?
Superhero. I still play superheroes with my boys. My biggest dream in life would be to fly like Superman. If we made a Quebec version Thora mixture of superheroes and humor, I would be blown away!
