« I cried, it’s moving », initially declares the son of Charles Aznavour, while specifying: « Maybe I didn’t cry like I did for Bambi. I’m not the same age anymore. But I got a wet eye more than once », says Mischa Aznavour.
“We love him very much. He was very committed to the role. There were several times when I had a tear in my eye. In the process, he did a job worthy of a César award. »

It would have been sad. But that was not the case! », he confided movedly. « At the end of the first week, when Katia Aznavour tells us “ I see my father ”, it gave us extraordinary confidence »said Tahar Rahim about his exchange with the singer’s daughter.
