The actor returns to theaters in a new comedy. He plays a psychoanalyst ready to do anything to prevent his daughter from marrying her fiancé, one of his very distressed patients.
Christian Clavier is back, ten months after the box office Cocorico. The figure of the Splendid is on display this Wednesday at Never without my therapista comedy where he plays a famous psychoanalyst ready to do anything to prevent his daughter from marrying her fiancé, who is none other than one of his very anxious and extremely clingy patients.
An odious character that the interpreter of Jacquiouille embodies with a certain jubilation. “He has concerns in common with other characters that I have played, but as he is a psychiatrist-psychoanalyst, he is more manipulative and more smiling. So he enters more surreptitiously into situations. Which was very fun to play and very delectable for me,” he explains to BFMTV.
“What I like about comedy, when it is successful – and it is very difficult to succeed – is that it does not go out of fashion because we play with the faults of human nature, “We all share. I think that’s where we have our humanity,” he analyzes. “In other genres of films, things go out of fashion because society and morals evolve and therefore the postures of the heroes change a lot.”
The actor, who continues to film one or two comedies per year, was immediately captivated by the script of this comedy directed by Arnaud Lemort, with whom he has already filmed Ibiza. “There is a very good starting situation. I always read the scripts on the situations. When there is a conflict, when the characters are in a problem extremely incompatible with their lives, something interesting will happen. “
Playing with the new generation
The actor shares the stage with a host of young actors: Baptiste Lecaplain, Rayane Bensetti and Claire Chust (seen notably in Household scenes et Problems). After his roles in The Teachers, Babysitting 2 et What have we done to the good Lord?Clavier confirms his intention to play with the younger generation to pass the torch of comedy.
“It was important for Arnaud (Lemort) who wrote the film,” insists Christian Clavier. “He wanted to mix the generations. I find it great because I love this generation. I really like Claire Chust. They have an energy, a desire to achieve it, a desire to touch the public. They all play very well . They are very involved in it.
Among his projects, he has the following Cocorico. “I believe that (Julien Hervé, the director) is working hard on a sequel. I trust him completely, because he is a very, very good author,” exclaims Christian Clavier, who will be in 2025 at the poster for another comedy, The Million. He will play a locksmith forced to help a young construction worker (Rayane Bensetti) to break into a safe to put back the million he stole.
