Thursday February 10, 2022, TF1 broadcasts the final event of Alice Nevers from 9:10 p.m. The opportunity for Télé Star to come back with Marine Delterme and Jean-Michel Tinivelli on their worst and best memories in the series…
Télé Star: Tell us about your beginnings in the Alice Nevers adventure…
Marine Delterme: It was in 2002. I was very anxious, I had accepted this role with a lot of pressure because Florence Pernell did Florence Larrieu: The judge is a woman for several years before. Succeeding someone to take over like that was not very common. I quickly almost stopped everything, then I told myself that I had to hang on.
Jean-Michel Tinivelli: I arrived in 2007. Before that, I never wanted to make guests in Alice Nevers, I did not go to the castings. Except that to play Marquand, my agent lied to me by telling me that I was taken directly, without trials, and that I only had a few scenes to play to see what it would be like with the actress… On site , I met other actors, so I understood the deception! I called my agent, I insulted him and he replied that I couldn’t leave. So, I stayed and I think I was the most off the mark actor of all! That’s probably why they took me.
Marine, what did you think of your sidekick when he landed?
MD : I found him very excited and very weird! I had just played with another very calm, very dark, very mature actor… All of a sudden, there is him: all in sweat, it was going all over the place, who didn’t say the text, who was quite irreverent…and that was good. It worked immediately.
JMT : It was funny !
MD : Yes, but it was also quite disturbing. He was a free electron. I said to myself : “Here, this man looks fragile but he makes me laugh a lot.
Has the understanding between you always been good?
MD : We only had a real fight once but otherwise we get along very well. He’s one of my best friends. 14 years, we have experienced things in life, we have always supported each other. There is respect between us, harmony, a desire to defend our characters… We’ve never had a problem with narcissism or competition. Being generous is the basis of our acting profession.
JMT : I believe that we sometimes argued with each other because there is precisely this respect and love in our relationship.
What quirks did you spot in each other during filming?
JMT : Marine always needs to have something in her hand: an accessory, a telephone for example…
MD : I know it by heart. Just in the morning arriving on set, just saying hello, I know exactly how he feels!
Now thatAlice Nevers is over, what will you miss the most and what will you not miss?
MD : The sets in a detective series are difficult. We are not in Emily in Paris, we were sometimes in rotten sheds, glaucous stuff… We were in the tough part of Paris. It’s the codes of the genre, of course, but it was hard.
JMT: What I won’t miss are the returns from filming in the car. My god, when you’re stuck in traffic for two hours after a long day…
MD : What I will regret, however, is having Jean-Mi’ come to make-up to talk to me. All our giggles, the actors with whom we worked like Guillame Carcaud or Ahmed Sylla… All these encounters, the directors we loved and who carried us.
JMT : Yes, something magical happened among the whole team of the series.
MD : We actually created a family.
