Jean-Marie Bigard (born 17 May 1954 in Troyes, France) is a French comedian and actor. Known for his often controversial humour, he has performed at some of the largest entertainment facilities in France, including the Palais omnisports at Paris-Bercy and the Stade de France. Bigard is a close friend of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, whom he accompanied on an official visit to Pope Benedict XVI in Rome.
Jean-Marie Bigard married Claudia Bigard in February 1991. They divorced in August 2009. He then married the comedian Lola Marois in May 2011. The couple have one child, Sasha, born on 19 June 2009.
He was one of the contetant during the First season of Danse avec les stars.
In September 2008, Bigard claimed that the September 11 attacks on the US seven years earlier were an "enormous lie" orchestrated by the American government. He said that he was "absolutely sure and certain" that the US government had stage-managed the attacks.
Later, in a statement to Agence France-Presse, Bigard said that he wanted to "apologise to everyone". He also said: "I will never speak again about the events of 11 September. . . I will never express any more doubts." He stopped short, however, of saying that he accepted that his comments were untrue.
On June 2009, Bigard posted several videos on his website in which he comments on the official account of the September 11 attacks.
On 28 October 2009, accompanied by Mathieu Kassovitz, Bigard participated on a TV show (France 2) in which he said there was no proof of Ben Laden's culpability in the attacks, neither any images (and proof) about an airplane crashing on the Pentagon.
