Coming soon to the Netflix film To the Life of Rodolphe Lauga, Guillaume Canet played there alongside his son Marcel (13 years old). If the teenager has already appeared in Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom in 2023, he visibly enjoyed acting and is repeating the experience with his dad. The companion of Marion Cotillard and dad of Louise spoke on Saturday January 4 to Isabelle Ithubruru in the show 50’Inside about his son's entry into cinema.
He really wanted it
“We're monitoring this closely because we know it's a little young to start“, he indicates straight away while revealing despite everything that it was a moment for them”formidable”. “Extremely stressful but he really wanted it. From the moment he wants it, we are obliged to put our foot down. And I just as much preferred it to happen with me“he added.
Guillaume Canet, worried about his son Marcel
Fearing this sometimes very harsh environment, Guillaume Canet adds: “It's still a very difficult job, which requires you to question yourself often. There are times when we take buckets of shit, we can say that. It can be hard to take sometimes. And at the same time he is in a good school. He has parents who have their heads on their shoulders. We live like normal people so it’s the best school for him I think.”
Being the son of a great French actor is not an advantage according to him, quite the contrary. “It can be rather a disadvantage because there can be very high expectations from people. And then it's not certain that he will always want to do that either. There I think it amuses him but he will surely and perhaps want to do something else, and so much the better. Whatever he does, as long as he's happy, that's the main thing“, he explained.
Who knows, perhaps his daughter Louise will also be interested in cinema?
