Before joining “Here everything begins”, two actors from TF1’s flagship soap opera already knew each other! Find out below who they are and what was the bond that united them…
In Here it all begins, beginners and experienced actors play opposite each other on screen. Living together on a daily basis not far from the film sets of the soap opera for more than two years, the members of the cast share a great bond off camera and all know each other by heart.
ITC stars knew each other before the show
But two of them had crossed paths long before ending up in the spin-off of Tomorrow belongs to us! Indeed, in the documentary Here it all starts: the secrets of success broadcast on the front page on Saturday January 7, 2023 (and available on the Salto platform), these stars of fiction distribution reveal the astonishing bond that has united them for a long time already…
In the report, Kathy Packianathan, who slips into the skin of the endearing Deva, thus confides that she took acting lessons before ITC which were led by none other than… Benjamin Baroche! Interviewed in the middle of a make-up session, the young woman then declares, pointing to the main person concerned (who is in the room with her): “You know that was my theater teacher, that one, Monsieur Teyssier? (laughs)“
Benjamin Baroche was Kathy Packianathan’s teacher
Shortly after, the one who embodies the ruthless pastry chef, who became director of the Auguste Armand Institute, adds, specifying: “We met at a great school, the Ecole du jeu in Paris, and I was a teacher, let’s say. It was great ! It was a very nice surprise to see her here again… But it didn’t surprise me either!“
As a reminder, Benjamin Baroche has been playing in Here it all begins since the start of the series, while Kathy Packianathan joined fiction at the start of the 2021 school year. She was one of the new first years of the prestigious cooking school, at the start of season 2 of the serial.
