Christmas comedies are omnipresent like every year. But if you’re tired of the very “praline” American versions, you can always go and see a French comedy. Christmas balls directed by Alexandra Leclère with Kad Merad and Valérie Bonneton was released on November 27. The story is that ofa couple who decide not to celebrate Christmas this year because, every year, New Year’s Eve turns into a nightmare. Finally, finding the idea absurd, the father and his children will take things in hand to enjoy the magic of the holidays. A new comedy for Julia Vignali’s companion who loves to make the audience laugh so much.
While the feature film is currently in theatersValérie Bonneton and her sidekick were the guests of Canal +. On this occasion, the journalist asked the 60-year-old actor in which film could we have seen him?. Very unexpected, Olivier Baroux’s sidekick responded bluntly: “I did tests for Brad Pitt“. Straight away, the actress next to him didn’t believe it for a second and responded with irony.”Of course“. To defend himself, the one who was on the set of “Star Academy” on December 13, retorted: “Well the proof, I’m not in the film So they weren’t good tests.”.
It was then that Kad Merad revealed the details of this brief international experience. “I did tests for a film produced by Brad Pitt with Brad Pitt called World War Z. Remember the zombie movie?” he began by saying. “But I made a ‘step’, that is to say that I filmed myself at home, all alone, the ‘loose’in English. I’m so bad. Why did I do this?” he asked himself in hindsight.
Kad Merad: self-deprecation above all
It was then that Kalil’s dad imagined the scene during which the casting managers were going to watch Kad Merad’s tape. “On a du lui dire ‘It’s a great comedian. Very famous in France you know. You have to look this man’” (“He’s a good actor, very well known in France, you know. You have to look at this man“, editor’s note). What Angelina Jolie’s ex had to respond to according to his overflowing imagination: “Well, I’m not sure but…” (“Well, I’m not sure but…“).
If he wants to embark on the American adventure and land in Hollywood, perhaps Kad Merad should ask advice from his friends Jean Dujardin, Tomer Sisley or Marion Cotillard who have managed to carve out a special place for themselves alongside the most famous actors on the planet.
