The classic Indian in the City will air this December 30 from 9:15 p.m. on TMC. But what happened to the interpreter of his main character Mimi-Siku exactly?
It may have been released in theaters in 1994, the film An indian in the city by Hervé Palud remains a cult film whose lines have marked several generations. The proof, it continues to be regularly broadcast on public channels and will be broadcast on TMC on December 30 from 9.15 p.m.. Its cast includes names that are still very well known such as those of Thierry Lhermitte, Miou-Miou or even Patrick Timsit, but that’s not all. In the main role of the young Indian, it is actor Ludwig Briand who shone when he was just 13 years old. Our colleagues from Télé 2 Weeks interviewed him to find out what happened to his life after the success of An Indian in the City, seen by more than 7.8 million viewers when it was released in theaters. .
It is far from the world of cinema that Ludwig Briand has however evolved, as his career proves. “An Indian in the city is my only cinema experience. Afterwards I made short films, series: La Caverne de la Rose d’or, Un et Un make six. I was aware of the ephemeral side of this career. When I was 18, when I passed my baccalaureate, I went on to study law “. Already during his adolescence, Ludwig Briand had his feet on the ground and wanted above all to have financial security. The one who played Mimi-Siku, a little boy lost in a big city, is now 41 years old and has become a clerk, a position he does not regret, on the contrary.
Is Ludwig Briand ashamed of his role as Mimi-Siku?
“I am a civil servant, more precisely a clerk at the Ministry of Justice, so nothing to do with cinema!“he explained to Télé 2 Weeks. As for his private life, it is just as fulfilling as his professional life since Ludwig Briand is in a relationship and lives in the Parisian suburbs. If he does not yet have a child, it remains a project. And he will also be delighted to show them An Indian in the City. “I don’t have any children at the moment but when I do I will definitely show them the movie. It’s not something I’m ashamed of, on the contrary“.
