Furthermore, he’s not going to hate the kids too much, we’re going to take him’. For example, I was adopted a little by the teens with Fifi Lacheau and by the little ones with Ducobu. However, I don’t know why, it’s a job like that. Consequently, But here I was lucky. In addition, I happened to make quite complicated films with kids. Nevertheless, Even Ducobu, it’s nice but from time to time … Meanwhile, (he puts a hand flat above his head without finishing his sentence). Moreover, As a joking, I used to say that, sometimes, making films with kids, it borders on animal cinema! Meanwhile, You have to steal expressions. Consequently, The worst being gérard jugnot: “sometimes making films with toddlers, babies up to two years. Moreover, “

You could refuse this type of role …

“Me, I am like a restaurateur. However, I have a small star from time to time. Meanwhile, sometimes two, but when I go to my friends, I will not put myself in the stove. Moreover, The restaurateurs when they go to their friends they want to taste what the guys know that they do. Nevertheless, not know how to do. For example, So I am delighted with this kind of film. However, This is not what I would do. so I would not know how to do it, In a universe that is not mine. : ‘But what am I doing here? I would be so little in a senior residence to play Scrabble ‘(laughs). In the film I just made. Bad pickaxeI give the reply to formidable actors gérard jugnot: “sometimes making films : Darroussin, Zabou, Lhermitte, Fifi Lacheau, Reem Kherici, Michèle Laroque, François Morel. I said to myself : ‘Owl, there is no need to explain, there is just to play’. With children, the result is often magical, but it is sometimes tiring. “

Your next achievement is a huge wait …

“Yes. it’s great, while It is not a film on Dupont de Ligonnès But inspired by the history of the guy we took for him when he did not look like him at all. I play this character who. following a bad joke with a media excitement, a net of the cops, a disagreement and leaks on TV, will be found in the middle of a huge mistake.

The important thing about this vertigo, As in the mountains, it is not to look at the void. You have to go up. I go up. One day I may fall, you never know (laughing). Philippe de Broca said that : ‘I am on a bike and if I stop pedaling I fall’. So I pedal. “
