## Summary

French voice actors Philippe Peythieu and Véronique Augereau have voiced Homer and Marge in the French version of The Simpsons since 1990. They met through the show and later married, making their real-life relationship closely tied to one of television’s best-known fictional couples.

They record together in a Paris studio for around 10 to 12 days each year, while the series also brings appearances at events and gifts from fans. The couple say they would not continue the roles without each other and oppose replacing human performers with artificial intelligence, arguing that some acting requires a human touch.
