It’s never easy for fans of a series to see a character change their mind. It is not necessarily easier for the stars of the program to get used to this change. When Lucie Lucas learned that François-David Cardonnel was taking the place of Benoît Michel to play Jérome, Clem’s ex-husband, she reacted a little harshly. “I kinda freaked outshe explained to the magazine Star TV. It’s not the same actor and I find it really hard for the public to have to get used to a new face. And at the same time, we can very well understand that Benoît Michel was not available at that time.“
It must be said that one is brown, the other blond… the resemblance between François-David Cardonnel and Benoît Michel is far from obvious. What frightened Lucia Lucas, the heroine of the TF1 show? The fact that the actor who joins the team shares some similarities with another actor: Mathieu Spinosi, who played Julien, Valentin’s father and former boyfriend of Clem. And that’s why the actress would have gone to meet the production to express her fears: “Is it the Mathieu Spinosi look-alike who plays Jérôme? Are you wrong or what?”
