If he accepted Wide Winch 2, unlikely eventuality, it is because it amused him. (…) And I remember very well the first thing he said to me on the phone: ‘I still have a problem: I’m not sure I can play this role. It’s complicated for me. It wasn’t a posturing, he was really sincere and in doubt. It shows his humility“, had declared Jérôme Salle in order to pay tribute to him.

For the record, Tomer Sisley did all of his stunts himself during filming. He revealed that it required special training for him. “The physical preparation was violent for me, because the day after the last day of shooting the first film, I had a skiing accident and I had to restart the machine. Before being able to do stunts again, I had to train a lot. About 4-5 times a week, with lots of weight training and other sports (…). Especially for moving and sweating. Each session lasted between 2 and 3 hours.“, had explained the actor, who has played for a few years the eponymous hero of the series Balthazar on TF1.
