Alain Chabat looks at the crowd and can’t believe it. “ We can’t be better welcomed than here, so obviously I’m very happy, very happy to be here, it’s been too long since I last came », breathes the former member of Les Nuls, idol of laughter for an entire generation. It was after 3 p.m. this Sunday and the entire team of Phew Love takes a monumental crowd bath at the Kinepolis in Lomme, where many fans came to see the five-star cast brought together by Gilles Lellouche. “ I lost my voice when François Civil got out of his van », still wavers Aurélie, who had found a choice place near the barrier.
Benoît Poelvoorde hot as a chip house
The actors* sign autographs, offer selfies, do checks, then talk about the North, this region in which they loved filming for weeks and months, laughing too, and which reminds Adèle Exarchopoulos of “ the months spent above the Wazemmes market, during the filming of La Vie d’Adèle “. Benoît Poelvoorde, hot as a chip shop, did not give his share to the dog: “ I came with my own automobile, to this place of debauchery and party (smile). I had already been here with Dany Boon, and the atmosphere had already been incredible! We are (the Belgians) at our place, at your place… ».
The atmosphere at its peak, it was the moment to ask ourselves what, deep down, “phew love” is. This noisy demonstration of joy from the public, for example? “ I don’t knowthinks Poelvoorde. I would never mix the affection that one can have for an actor, with love, that of your mother or… Well, here I am starting to be annoying (smile). »
Lellouche “very happy and… feverish”
Gilles Lellouche took the microphone to present his film to a room that was drinking in his words: “ I am very happy to be here, but very excited too, I have a thought for all the theaters in France who are watching us at the moment (the session was rebroadcast in 400 theaters at the same time)it actually upsets me… Good session to you “. For everyone else, Phew Love will be discovered this Wednesday, October 16, the day of its national release on the big screen.
