Le cinéma ivoirien en deuil : l'acteur Pode Désiré tire sa révérence
The arts community in Ivory Coast awoke to sad news on Tuesday, March 31, 2026. Actor Pode Désiré , a familiar face on both the big and small screens, passed away at the age of 65. He succumbed to an illness he had bravely battled for several years.
The actor's health had deteriorated considerably in recent days. Very close to his fans, he had himself shared his concern on his Facebook page shortly before his departure, confiding emotionally: "I am very ill."
Unfortunately, this loss comes after a particularly difficult period for the artist. At the end of 2025, Pode Désiré moved the internet by revealing his financial difficulties and lack of stable housing, making a heartfelt plea to his fans to find him a place to live.
Despite his personal hardships, he will be remembered for his talent and his contribution to the development of local cinema. His career is marked by significant roles in productions that resonated with Ivorians, including:
"He leaves behind the image of a humble actor who was deeply appreciated by viewers."
The editorial staff extends its sincerest condolences to his biological family as well as to the wider Ivorian film community.
