Last year was not good for director and actor Dany Boon. But the comedian is not the type to stay on a “failure” and he has already bounced back, as he told Le Parisien.
While he confided in Le Parisien about his new projects, the actor and director returned to the mixed reception that his film with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kad Merad received from a usually very warm audience.
The film’s score, less than a million admissions, was the lowest of his entire career both behind and in front of the camera. But Dany Boon has no regrets.
“For me, it’s not a failure,” he told the journalist. And he has good reasons for this. “Firstly because I made the film I wanted,” he explains. And then he doesn’t have to be ashamed of the number of entries, in absolute terms: “And 800,000 entries, that’s not shameful”, he underlined after having remarked: “I made seven films that were a hit, plus those as an actor. It’s already an anomaly to do so much.”
If he returns to the stage with the show Clown n’est pas un profession, at the beginning of 2025, he who had said goodbye to the stage in 2018, at the request of his 14-year-old daughter, Dany Boon already has his next cinema project. “But I’m going to take my time,” he said.
Certainly, the actor and director furtively asks himself the question of his desirability. “The real question is to ask yourself if people are tired of what you do,” he says. But he has the answer: “I don’t think so.” And to list his recent… and future successes: “I made the film with Ozon (My crime) which worked very well, Une belle cours, by Christian Carion, which was a hit abroad. I have also just filmed with Audrey Fleurot in a “drama” which will be called Regarde!”
If he ignores the film by his partner Laurence Arné, The Hennedricks Family, in which he plays and which has not found more than 200,000 spectators in theaters since its release in June, it is undoubtedly because the one who performed the sketch “The Depressed” prefers to see the glass half full.
