In 2000, the film The Beach directed by Danny Boyle is released on screens. The adaptation of Alex Garland's novel tells the story ofa young American in Thailand who learns of the existence of an Eden where a small community lives. It was then that he decided to venture there with two French people. The American is then embodied by Leonardo DiCaprio and the two Frenchmen by Virginie Ledoyen and Guillaume Canet. The latter was then 27 years old and meeting the Hollywood star seemedat first glance, impressive. At first glance…
Indeed, in a recent interview given to our colleagues at Brut, the 51-year-old actor returned to this heavenly shoot in “The Aymeric interview”. Thus, the journalist asked him if he had been impressed by his meeting with his colleague: “The moment I met him, no, I didn't say to myself, 'Wow, he's a good actor'”. Before yes “because I had seen him in Gilbert Grape, in Titanic, in several films where I found him formidable but when I met him, all the stuff around I found it a bit ridiculous“, he confides frankly.
Marcel and Louise's dad adds that before the arrival of the famous Jack from Titanic on the set, “we had been waiting for a few days, we were the whole group of actors (…) and at one point we hear an assistant say “'He's here, he's coming' It was the arrival of di Caprio. We had to do a percussion thing, it happens in turn, and he does something rotten and everyone goes 'Oh my God, It's amazing, it's beautiful!' and it was a bit ridiculous actually“. Marion Cotillard's husband adds that he found it surprising to see “comment everyone was super fake with him“.
Guillaume Canet: this violent punch delivered to Leonardo DiCaprio
So, the one who is also a director returned to this absurd scene. “At the time, I boxed a lotI was training, I was doing amateur fights so I continued training” on the set of the film. While training boxing one evening, Leonardo DiCaprio is “went down to the gym to work out with his bodyguards on and he looked at me askance“. It was then that the two men found themselves boxing nicely. However, the next day, when they returned to the set, the American came to tease the French actor to the point of giving him a “slightly strong bread“.
It was then that the horse riding enthusiast “returned“and he has”put a straight line in the hollow of the shoulder where it hurts a lot“. Folded in two, the tray then froze. Guillaume Canet adds: “Everyone looks at me like I'm a complete idiot because I just hit the star of the film“. But then how did it end? Finally, good friend, Gigi Hadid's ex got up dying of laughter and will end up telling her.What are you doing tonight?“. The two of us finished filming as friends playing on the Playstation between two days of filming. All's well that ends well…
