Noël Godin
Belgian actor, critic and writer (1945–2026)
Biography
Noël Godin (13 September 1945 – 23 August 2026), nicknamed L'Entarteur and Georges le Gloupier, was a Belgian anarchist comedian, writer, critic, actor and notorious pie thrower or entarteur.
His pieing of famous persons started in 1969 with Marguerite Duras and continued throughout his life. His targets included writers, comedians, actors, musicians, audience members, clergymen, presenters, businessmen and politicians. Former minister and future French president Nicolas Sarkozy was pied in 1997, and he hit his most famous target, Bill Gates, in 1998, which increased his notoriety beyond the Francophone world. His favourite and most frequent target was public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy, whose reactions (and Godin's systematic pieings of him) became satirised and ridiculed in the media.
He was described as "the French-speaking world's best-known prankster".
