Pierre Arditi: “I couldn’t have borne not being loved anymore”
Asked during the show about his “bad faith” by Nathalie Levy, the actor replied without tongue in cheek: “My vehemence could not always serve as truth. I have relatively healed myself. Which does not take anything away from my deep convictions.” And to admit: “I put my vehemence not on mute but still in a range that is less violent, less Manichean.” Could this passion and this character have deprived him of certain roles? If Pierre Arditi “don’t know anything about it”he explains on the other hand: “There are people who said: ‘Why is he saying that? Why does he say it like that?’ You can’t please everyone. But I calmed down externally so that those in front of me would accept me more easily..” His conclusion? “I’m so narcissistic that obviously I couldn’t stand not being loved anymore. Jouvet himself said: ‘When you want to become an actor, you first want to be loved and looked at by others.'” Words of frankness worthy of the actor.
