Invited on the set of the program C to you in March 2023 for the promotion of his film “Les Chemins Noirs”, Jean Dujardin explained why he had not yielded to the Sirens of Hollywood, in the wake of the immense success of the film “The Artist”.
The most awarded French film of all time, notably rewarded by an interpretation prize in Cannes for Jean Dujardin, by 6 César and 5 Oscars, The Artist, released 14 years ago, was the culmination of a completely crazy bet. Still pass for the choice (obviously logical given its subject) of black and white, but completely silent? Absolutely. And it must be recognized that this was by no means a handicap for its brilliant success around the world.
“We almost have the impression that we have to apologize for saying it”
In his wake precisely, Jean Dujardin was, like others before him in such circumstances, courted by Hollywood. But he did not give in to the songs of the sirens, as he explained on the set of The program C to you, in March 2023. This did not prevent him from playing a tasty Swiss banker in the Wall of Wall Street at Martin Scorsese.
“The thing with the Americans is that you have to come very quickly. They call you and say you:” It's in three weeks! Yes but I have my life, I have a job, I have things to do … it's not at all costs! It's crazy that we say that, we almost have the impression that we have to apologize for saying it “ let go of the actor.
Adding: “I could have worked a little English, I could have strengthened a little, it might have liked it. But I love playing in my tongue. I have the impression that I haven't done everything yet, there are things to experiment here. And incidentally I have a family. And it is true that culturally, I do not feel super well there”.
While it will be playing on October 29 of the man who narrows of Jan Kounen, a new adaptation of the science fiction novel by Richard Matheson, the actor was in May shooting on the new film by Xavier Giannoli, rays and shadows. And will make a small roller coaster in the process. The film, which addresses the question of bipolarity, will enter into production in early 2026 for a set scheduled between February and March of next year.
