Jamel Debbouze says he was offered a job at the government

Would you see Jamel Debbouze as a member of the government? As strange as it sounds, the French-Moroccan comedian and actor told RMC that he was offered a job at the government, reports Les Inrocks.  

«I was offered to be a Secretary of State», he told Christophe Dugarry when invited to Team Duga show. «Of course not, I refused», he continued, «because it is obviously not what I do, I would be bored to death, I would be less productive, frozen and criticized. (…) When I am on stage playing the Olympia or Zenith, I feel that I am useful. He started from scratch, he has a hand in his pocket, and he finds himself there … There is some sort of hope in all of that».

Jamel Debbouze, however, did not specify which government offered him the job. For the record, the comedian recently released his new show, «Maintenant ou Jamel», in which he addresses in particular France post-attacks, the United States, Donald Trump and his role as a father.
