Vincent Dubois

Vincent Dubois, a celebrated French comedian, was born on June 14, 1964, in Fontenay-aux-Roses, located in the Hauts-de-Seine region. He is best known for his collaboration with Jean-Christian Fraiscinet in the comedic duo Les Bodin's. Although he was born in the Paris area, Dubois spent his formative years in the rural village of Abilly in Indre-et-Loire, growing up alongside his five siblings. This pastoral setting became a rich source of inspiration for his comedic work.

Since 1994, Dubois and Fraiscinet have captivated audiences with their unique performances, where Dubois takes on the role of Maria Bodin, a domineering elderly woman who exerts her will over her son and those around her. His portrayal of Maria benefits from his past experiences as an ambulance driver, where he encountered a variety of colorful characters. Notably, one of his inspirations for the character came from a real-life elderly woman named Maria, whom he met during a call after she had a mishap with a Solex.

Dubois and Fraiscinet's work has garnered significant acclaim, making them a staple in French comedy. Their performances often blend humor with relatable rural themes, solidifying their legacy in the entertainment industry.
