The Simpsons, now in its 38th season, has been a global hit, with hundreds of international actors voicing Homer and Marge. The French pair record together with a director in a Paris dubbing studio for 10 to 12 days a year.
Fans treat them as a devoted pair. They often walk arm in arm, and people greet them as lovebirds or ask if she is without her husband. At conventions, fans say they represent a perfect couple who were in their homes every Saturday night, almost like surrogate parents.
She said they share the same values and move forward together, bound by a strong connection. Across the seasons — they will soon dub season 38 — the couple is still standing.
Homer, she said, is completely in love with his family even if he does not always remember his children’s names. Marge is not a fan of his over-the-top antics but knows he is her one and only love. Their bond is almost indestructible despite difficulties.
Peythieu said Homer resembles him in some ways. What you see is what you get, yet Homer still surprises. In the film, Marge decides to leave him but forgives his mistakes. Their love grows stronger; they separate then find each other again. “Whether in The Simpsons or in real life, it seems that many people see us as this devoted couple that they enjoy spending time with,” she said.
They have been together nearly as long as the series itself. “That’s why it’s lasted all these years,” his wife said. Matt Groening called them “the second most famous couple in the history of animation,” Peythieu said.
