Between Guillaume Canet and Leonardo Di Caprio, the beginnings were complicated… Moreover, after a tease from the American, the French actor and director gave him a “right”! He tells.
Guillaume Canet and Leonardo Di Caprio may well be friends today, but things were not so simple between them at the start. Together on the movie poster The Beach, released in 2000, the two actors were even first as dog and cat…
Guillaume Canet annoyed by Leonardo Di Caprio: “Everyone is super fake to him”
It was on the set of Danny Boyle's film that the star of Titanic and the 51-year-old Frenchman met for the very first time. And their first interview was memorable to say the least. In an interview with the media Brutthe one who will be on display in January 10 To Life on Netflix, went into detail. “When I met him, I didn't say to myself 'wow he's a good actor'. Before I thought he was great (…) but the moment I met him, all the things he was around, I found it a bit ridiculous”admitted Marion Cotillard’s husband.
Before telling: “We were in rehearsal, and he comes in and we each take turns having to do something on percussion. And it comes in his turn and he does something lousy. And everyone's 'oh my God! It's amazing' (' oh my god, it's great' in French, editor's note). And it was a bit ridiculous actually and I see how everyone is so fake with him.
“I turn around and I give him a right”
Armed with his usual frankness, Guillaume Canet then detailed: “At the time, I boxed a lot (…). And there was an Italian actor who also boxed and in the evening we trained (…) We made this ‘tsé tsé’ noise (…) And one evening Léo went down to the gym to work out with his bodyguards and he looked at me askance (…). doing 'tsé tse'.”
A gesture that didn't really please Louise and Marcel's father: “At one point he hits me a little hard. And then I turn around and I hit him in the hollow of the shoulder, where it hurts a lot, in the bone like that. And there, he There's a sort of silence on the set and everyone looks at me like I'm completely stupid because I just punched the star of the film.”
Great moment of stress for the actor of the film The Flood. “There, he raises his head, dying of laughter. And he says to me: 'What are you doing this evening, do you want to come with us (…). And then we spent four months of friendship. And then We still remain very close today.”he concluded his anecdote. Since then, the two friends have never played together again, unlike Marion Cotillard who shared the bill with the American in 2010 in Inception.
