Jean Reno et Christian Clavier make a pair. The two actors, friends like pigs, have filmed a lot of times together. In the übercult Operation Corned Beefthe popular cardboard Visitors -and its sequels- or even the failure You don’t choose your family. The two are inseparable, on the big screen and in the city. However, sometimes they disagree. As proven by this anecdote where, placed in overhang, Jean Reno puts Christian Clavier back in place…
Jean Reno: his collaborations with Christian Clavier
Jean Reno and Christian Clavier have toured together seven times. The first, in 1991, in the crazy pastiche of spy films, Operation Corned Beef. Two years later, the two triumphed with the immense success Visitors : more than 13,000,000 entries! With such success, inevitably, a suite is final. The Visitors II – The Corridors of Time black one 1998.
We take the same ones and start again. Almost, Muriel Robin replaces Valérie Lemercier at short notice who refused to come back. The Visitors II enjoyed more modest success than its predecessor. Reno and Clavier then find themselves in a ‘American’ remake of the first film completely denatured of its comic substance. Puritanism obliges.
The author does not want to play in a sequel to Visitors
Two other collaborations later, the forgettable ones The Corsican Investigationin 2004, then You don’t choose your familyin 2011 with Clavier behind the camera, the two thieves at the fair do the trick again Visitors. They wear the clothes of Godefroy de Montmirail and Jacquouille la Fripouille. On arrival: Visitors – The Revolution. Terrible nanar whose open ending calls for a sequel.
Our two heroes from the Middle Ages are still lost in the corridors of time. Fortunately, for us, the public, this new opus is a flop. Jean Reno does not want to play in yet another sequel: “Replay Godfrey of Montmirail? No. The past is the past, it no longer interests me”, firmly launches the actor to TV Cinema. He’s too old for this bullshit.
Jean Reno attacked his friend Clavier
Jean Reno and Christian Clavier have never hidden their friendship off film sets. This explains alchemy of the two buggers on the screen. Especially in their first two films, Operation Corned Beef et Visitors. Recently, Jean Reno, for his part, played in Retirement home 2 surrounded by child actors. Which reminded him of a anecdote.
“I played a priest in Mexico and I had 36 children.”, Reno tells Julien Sellier In Good evening RTL. “It was in The man in the golden maska long, long time ago.” He says that Clavier, “hated” the children. The host contradicts the actor by explaining that the latter said the opposite. “He’s a liar!”says Jean Reno. The rag burns between Godefroy and Jacquouille?
