This Monday, the Élan Chalon basketball team from Chalon-sur-Saône (Saône-et-Loire) surprised its subscribers on social networks, report our colleagues from France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Indeed, the club has shared several photos where actor Vincent Cassel plays on the floor of the Colisée, the team’s training room.
Vincent Cassel, big fan of the Élan Chalon team? Perhaps, but the reason for his presence is quite different. The 57-year-old actor is starring in Nabil Kechouhen’s new film, a feature film whose theme revolves around basketball. This is not their first collaboration. The two men had already met in the film My King.
Far from being a coincidence
L’Élan Chalon was not chosen as a filming location by chance. The director was part of the sports association a few years ago. The Chalonnais club was delighted to have been able to immortalize a few scenes with Vincent Cassel. “When the art of cinema meets the passion for basketball…”, we could read in the comment of the publication.
The actor, who re-shared the post on his Instagram account, reacted with a simple “Soon” to indicate that the film would soon be released in theaters.
