This is the news that fans did not expect! Friday, November 18, 2022, on the Touche set not at my post, on C8, Benjamin Castaldi revealed that he was working on a joint project with his father. “I’m happy because he looks very fit and I have a very nice project with him.“, he said, before specifying that they were going to put on the show together The magnificent losers. With humor, the host confided: “My father and I have one thing in common, it’s that sometimes in our two careers, when it was supposed to happen, pim, we stumbled!“On the set of the show, this one revealed:”I’ll tell you an incredible thing, my father, at 23, he was called by Paramount. He went to America to make a film, he had an extremely important role, he had to make an American film. His mother, at the time, who drew the cards, said to him: ‘Jean-Pierre, you are going to America, but you are not touring.’ So my father said to him: ‘Listen mum, stop your bullshit, I have the plane ticket…’“
Benjamin Castaldi continued: “Paramount had sent him the plane ticket, the signed contract. He leaves in first class, he takes out a loan from the bank because he buys a lot of clothes to look very handsome in Hollywood. At the same time, he is in the process of divorcing my mother. So there you go, it’s a new start! He arrives in Los Angeles, and when he has to start filming, we call him and say to him: ‘Mr. Castaldi, there is a problem.’ He said, ‘How is there a problem?’ And we said to him: ‘You are not going to be able to shoot because the American unions are asking why we hired a Frenchman when the role could be played by an American. So, we fire you!’In conclusion, the host added: “He returned to France, he had not received his sorrel, he had credit for the clothes… He was unemployed for 18 months. He had all his things in his car, which he had brought back because he was divorcing my mother… They broke into his car, they stole everything from him! He had nothing left, he had lost everything. My father, that’s it!“
