Gérard Lanvin camps… Gérard Lanvin in I love what you do, released in theaters on May 18, where an unabashed fan pursues him.
Isn’t it strange to play your own role?
Gerard Lanvin: Yes, because you have to bring things of your own, while accepting to react differently from what you would have done in life. With me, this feature film would have become a short. As friendly as he is, I would have fired the invader (played by Artus) after two days!
The fans who approach you, do you mind?
On the contrary, I am very grateful to my audience. I have never refused a selfie. I remember one evening when, leaving a rugby match at the Stade de France, I couldn’t find a taxi. A policeman stopped a car to take me home. On board, two rapping guys. The driver exclaims: “My mother’s life is the Moltès of the Ball.” They took me to their city, to see their friends. I let it happen, because it was their way of showing me their friendship.
What are the differences between you and the Gérard in the film?
The production rented a villa with a swimming pool all to itself. I like the collective. During filming, I stayed with the director Philippe Guillard and actors, including Arthur who prepared delicious dinners for us.
In addition to playing now, you sing…
My son Manu made me go on stage with him. But there I find myself with ten musicians, to interpret my album Down here. The tour begins. I experience magical sensations.
Where did the idea for this song come from? My heroine ?
Saying those words to my wife around a table would have had no impact. These are words that are sung. I am proud to pay tribute to him. She helped me grow. We are happy together in Marrakech.
Why Marrakesh?
Over there, our house with land, a vegetable garden and chickens is worth the price of a 2 m2 in Paris. People are smiling. I like the smells, cycling in the countryside and the sun is good for my morale, my skin, as well as my knees and shoulders, where I’m starting to hurt. Normal, at 71 brooms!
