This Thursday, January 19, Fabrice Luchini took to the stage of the Alpe d’Huez Festival to talk about the film A Happy Man. The actor took advantage of his speech to reveal some very personal information about a famous actress, Mélanie Laurent.
Since Monday, January 16, the Alpe d’Huez International Comedy Film Festival is in full swing. Every day, many films are unveiled in the presence of the teams and actors. This Thursday, January 19 was thus projected A happy man, the new comedy by Tristan Séguéla. A feature film in which we find Fabrice Luchini, who plays the main role alongside Catherine Frot. In this film, the actor embodies a very conservative mayor in the middle of the re-election campaign, who learns one fine day that his wife of forty years wishes to change sex.
For this screening, the 71-year-old actor took to the stage of the Great Hall of the palace to talk about the film in which he plays. He also took the opportunity to discuss the role of president of the jury, held this year by Karine Viard. “I have been in his place“, he first recalled before telling a rather intimate anecdote about an actress who was part of the jury that year.
Fabrice Luchini: “she wanted to look at her laptop”
“I remember. Melanie Laurent was next to me, she was breaking up with her guy, which was really good. Which is called… which is wonderful. The actor who lived with her. Outstanding”, he recalled. And to add:and then imagine that she had done something stupid, she had looked at her cell phone. While he was watching the movie, she wanted to look at her cell phone. She suspected there was a girl. And there, I attended the scene in full Alpe d’Huez. Festival of laughter, a tragedy: ‘You’re a shit, I fuck you, I bugger you’. And it was beautiful”. A certain vision of beauty.
