Broadcast tonight on TF1, Pascal Chaumeil’s comedy “Un Plan Parfait” has a few surprises in store for its two main stars. Indeed, during the filming of the film in Africa, Diane Kruger and Dany Boon were almost attacked by a leopard.
Broadcast this evening on TF1 and carried by Diane Kruger and Dany Boon, the comedy Un Plan Parfait follows the adventures of Isabelle, a forty-something with a well-regulated daily life who plans to marry Pierre, a man she has been dating for 10 years. Problem: in her family, all the first marriages turned into fiascos, and Isabelle is very superstitious.
In order to preserve her idyll with Pierre, she sets up a strategy: marry the first comer and divorce immediately. This is how she embarks on a most eventful nuptial journey alongside her provisional husband: Jean-Yves, editor for a tourist guide, who takes her from Kilimanjaro to Moscow.
If the comedy by Pascal Chaumeil (also known for having signed L’Arnacoeur) reserved many adventures for its two protagonists, their interpreters were not left out, and in particular during the filming of the sequences in Africa, where they had a few cold sweats.
Indeed, as Dany Boon had declared to our colleagues from Reviewer.com (relayed by First), Diane Kruger experienced a most surprising adventure during production:
“She almost got eaten by a leopard!”told the actor.

“We had just finished a scene with a lion, you can’t make it up, and we were going back to camp to rest. When she returned to her tent, she discovered a leopard rummaging through her things. Fortunately, she had the reflex to remain calm and not to cry. After a few minutes, the animal went back outside, leaving him a good fright.”
An anecdote that Diane Kruger has also confirmed herself at the microphone of Progress:
“There was a leopard in my bathroom, which was located outside. I backed up naked, I felt silly, I was trying to grab my camera, it went towards Dany’s room …”
