When he shoots a film or a series, for certain scenes, Omar Sy uses a double. Your magazine Closer – on newsstands this Friday, July 1 – reveals the identity of this one… and it’s surprising!
The magic of cinema. Having a double is not surprising for an actor. This is particularly the case during action scenes or sometimes even when the actor is not really in the field of the camera. Omar Sy is no exception using these stunt performers and voice actors. But the name of one of his doubles is surprising and amusing. That’s what your magazine tells you Closer – to be found on newsstands this Friday, July 1st. One thing is certain : Omar Sy’s fans were well taken.
Everything dates back to June 24, when the actor was filming an episode of the second season of the Netflix series, Lupine. After the two parts of season 1, the platform has decided to renew the successful French series for this second edition which should therefore arrive on our screens at the end of 2022. One of the scenes that Omar Sy was to shoot was then in a jewelry store on the Champs-Elysées, in Paris. Neither one nor two upon hearing the news, his fans then rushed to be able to observe Hélène Sy’s companion in action.
This very close to Omar Sy who doubles him
Except that they were instantly disillusioned. What was their disappointment in discovering that Omar Sy was not present. Instead, they discovered… his brother! According to our information, this stratagem is used when it comes to making shots of the actor’s silhouette. A way for Omar Sy to save his overloaded schedule. No doubt also to minimize situations where the crowd is likely to recognize this father and therefore gather and disturb him while he is working. And if it’s his brother who takes care of it, it’s probably because his previous understudy has been imprisoned.
