The actor arrived transformed at the CinéRoman Festival in Nice on Saturday October 5. The consequences of a strict diet, followed during the filming of his next film.
High cheekbones, hollow cheeks and defined jawline… Tahar Rahim appeared very emaciated when he arrived at the CinéRoman Festival on Saturday October 5. Coming to attend the closing ceremony of the event, the actor surprised more than one with his new appearance. During the day, we notably saw him in a leather jacket, on the Promenade des Anglais, or even in a suit, on the photocall of Mr Aznavour.
A metamorphosis that the actor would have carried out as part of his next role. Leïla Bekhti’s husband is indeed preparing to play in Alphaby Julia Ducournau. A feature film for which he would have followed a drastic diet, and for which the synopsis has not yet been revealed. However, it would be the director’s “most personal and profound film,” distribution companies Filmnation and Charades said in a statement.

“I love the transformation”
Tahar Rahim is not at his first metamorphosis. Grimé as Charles Aznavour in the biopic Mr Aznavourin theaters on October 23, the actor recently confided his passion for roles that ask him to transcend himself.
“I love the transformation,” he declared in the show “Sept à Huit” at the end of September. The idea of becoming someone else seems impossible, even schizophrenic. But having the ability to be able to physically change, to be able to drown and give everything to my character, that allows me to have more confidence in myself. There is something physical which is a bit similar to what high-level athletes can experience. A challenge that he once again took up for his next experiment.
