Martin Kretz ensured on the set of C l’Hebdo Saturday January 18, that the sequence shot for “L’Agence” with actor Fabrice Luchini for season 5 of the program, was true.
Did Fabrice Luchini “play the client” in the real estate reality show The Agencyas he suggested in an interview published in October 2024 in TV Mag.
“Everything we filmed is true,” assured Martin Kretz of “L’Agence”, on the set of “C L’Hebdo” Saturday January 18.
“It’s just that we didn’t arrive with the cameras in front of Fabrice, who still has an image and wanted to find out, get to know us beforehand. But he bought his offices with us. From time to time, he doesn’t “was not available on the day of the visit, we did the filmed revisit with him.”
“I had already bought the offices”
Actor Fabrice Luchini, who is looking to buy offices in the fifth season, broadcast on TMC, sowed doubt by declaring to TV Mag:
-“I played the client even though I had already bought the offices! Being an actor is great, it allowed me to thank them.”
This is not the first time that the reality of the situations presented in the program has been called into question. In April 2024, a luxury real estate professional interviewed by Télérama said it bluntly: “The products are beautiful and the Kretzes have very good ideas (…) But their series is cinema. And this for a simple and good reason: we are not in the United States, and rich people in France want to remain discreet.”
The Kretz family’s arrangements with reality for the purposes of filming would thus be numerous. But the success of The Agency above all illustrates the emergence of a fashion from the United States, “real estate porn”, an addiction to real estate inaccessible to ordinary mortals. “It can even be a neurosis,” said Fabrice Luchini in the interview with TV Mag, ensuring that he himself is addicted to this type of program and shares this passion with actress Chiara Mastroianni.
“She can spend entire evenings looking at apartments and houses that she never buys. It also seems that it’s a new disease. People have a hobby of looking at apartments.”
