The aunts from ‘Nonkels’: Isabelle Van Hecke and Emilie De Roo. “The secret of French kissing the dog? Pate!” † showbiz

“It’s the first time that has happened to me,” says Isabelle Van Hecke, and Emilie De Roo has never experienced it as an actress. People speak to them, come to tell them how hard they laughed and how pleased they are with it. Both have already played in well-watched television series – De Roo in ‘Beau Séjour 2’ and Van Hecke in ‘Albatros’, to name just two – but ‘Nonkels’ apparently triggers more.
