Stéphane Rousseau was on the show Hot Ones Québecwhere the animator Marc-André Grondin asks questions to his guests, who are at the same time faced with tasting increasingly spicy chicken wings.
It was during his presence on the show spicy that Rousseau addressed a very touching subject, that of an important film shoot which was difficult for personal reasons.
This is the movie Barbarian invasionsin which his role reminded him of what he was going through with his father at that time, who was suffering from cancer, just like the father of the character he played.
Stéphane actually felt uneasy when reading Denys Arcand’s script.
“When I read it, then had discussions with Denys Arcand, I was very uncomfortable, saying to myself: My father will think that I told Denys Arcand a little about our life. Then that made me panic,” Rousseau testifies.
Once on set, the actor and comedian tried to abstract it a little more, while drawing on his own experiences to play the character, as he mentions.
“I still found it quite disturbing,” adds Rousseau, who found this role more difficult.
A moment of vulnerability, moving, in the company of Stéphane.
