“7 MILLION THANKS! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this crazy adventure! WE LOVE YOU!!!!“, enthused Artus on Instagram, very grateful upon learning this weekend that the threshold of seven million admissions had been crossed in French cinemas for the first feature film of his career as a director, A little something extra. The film therefore marks a new achievement and enters the Top 100 biggest hits in the history of the French box office. This Sunday June 16, 2024, Laurent Delahousse asked him to react to this triumph on the set of 8:30 p.m., Sunday on France 2.”It’s already completely crazy, it’s… We don’t even know what to say anymore, it’s so crazy what’s happening“, declared him who is also the main actor and co-writer of this comedy acclaimed by the spectators. Artus was invited alongside his actors with disabilities Marie Colin, Ludovic Boul and Arnaud Toupense, who had the chance to be escorted in the arms of Laurent Delahousse in person through the corridors of France Télévisions, as Artus showed on his Instagram account.
“It’s not easy to bring the French together“
Facing his guests, the journalist commented: “It’s incredible to bring the French together – because it’s not easy to bring them together – on this theme“.”What surprises me is that it goes against everything I was told when I tried to finance it, telling myself that people wouldn’t be interested in it, that they didn’t want to see these people with a little something extra on a big screen. So it comforts me in the idea that I had, that I think that yes, people want it“, replied Artus. Rarely, the latter revealed that he had done the casting of the film before writing the screenplay. “Because I really wanted to write for them. So Arnaud who is a fan of Dalida (in the film) is really a fan of Dalida. Well, Ludovic says a lot fewer insults!“, he explained. Just like Alice Belaïdi, the actors gave their real first name to the character they play in Un p’tit chose en plus.
