Asterix and Obelix, in the service of his majesty: why did Edouard Baer keep a mixed memory of the filming?

Released in cinemas in 2012, the movie calledAsterix and Obelix: at the service of her majestyworn by Edouard Baer, ​​Gerard Depardieu, Guillaume Gallienne, Charlotte Le Bon and Vincent Lacostewill be broadcast Sunday, April 10, 2022, from 9:05 p.m. on M6. Directed by Laurent Tirardthis feature film is the 4th live-action film adaptation of the adventures of Asterix and Obelix, created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. The script of the film actually mixes the plots developed in two different albums: Asterix among the Bretons and Asterix and the Normans.

After Christian Clavier in the first 2 filmsas well as Clovis Cornillac in Asterix at the Olympic Gamesthe character of Asterix is ​​this time performed by Edouard Baer. The latter was already in the cast of the film Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, directed by Alain Chabat, where he played the role of the scribe Otis. The actor therefore had the opportunity to once again give the reply to Gérard Depardieu, who lends his features to the character of Obélix for the 4th time in Asterix and Obelix: at the service of her majesty. However, the two actors did not keep the same memory of the shooting of this feature film, and more particularly the shots that took place in Ireland.

Asterix and Obelix, in the service of his majesty: a small accident for Gérard Depardieu

If Gérard Depardieu enjoyed his Irish stay, the same cannot be said of Edouard Baer, ​​who has mixed memories of it. “I had a little trouble in Ireland. For three months we endured bad weather, terrible winds and you always had to hurry to pass between the raindrops“recalled the actor, who therefore keeps a bitter memory of his experience on the set ofAsterix and Obelix: at the service of her majesty. The rest of the shooting took place between Malta and Hungary. For the record, it was during the marathon shooting of this feature film that Gérard Depardieu distinguished himself by his little urinary misadventure which occurred on August 16, 2011, during a flight from Paris to Dublin.
