While he is starring in the film “Never Without My Psychiatrist”, Christian Clavier is once again on everyone’s lips. Especially those of his playmates who never hesitate to share some juicy anecdotes from filming.
Never without my therapistthis is the title of the comedy by Arnaud Lemort, in which one of the most popular comedians in France has starred since December 11: Christian Clavier. He plays the role of a recognized psychologist, followed closely by a completely lost thirty-year-old played by Baptiste Lecaplain. The famous 72-year-old actor is not easy to do at first and his young friend has testified to this…
“He hates actors who…”
Guest in The Scorea Nova radio podcast which shared a sequence of the interview on TikTok, the 39-year-old comedian indulged in unfiltered confidences about the legendary member of the Splendid troupe. Baptiste Lecaplain thus recounted how he was shocked from the start even before meeting Christian Clavier for the first day of filming…
“Phone call and it’s Christian Clavier’s coach who calls me (…). Christian knows the script absolutely by heart when he arrives on the set, the lines of his character and everyone. He told me said, ‘You’re going to have a lot of scenes with Christian and Christian hates actors who aren’t precise. It would be nice if we worked together.'”revealed the young actor. The tone was set!
“Christian is not easy to get to”
In the process, Baptiste Lecaplain recounted his very first meeting with Christian Clavier on the set. “He pointed at the car and said to me: ‘Don’t you get seasick in the car, Damien?’. He started me on a line from the film. And I said: ‘Well no, I’ I don’t have all the flaws in the world either, Doctor. He says to me: ‘That’s good, you know the text’ and he leaves.explained Baptiste Lecaplain. Before letting go: “So the first few minutes I said: ‘Ah yes, I am very, very far from having his 06.’”
Statements which confirm those already made by the actor in The Original SoundtrackNagui’s show on France Inter: “You have to be square. Christian is not easy to get to. It boosts because, when we arrive on set, Christian says: ‘I don’t want to rehearse, I want to hear the lines like in real life’, so we go straight there (…) He sees everything, he’s unbeatable Christian”. And, even a year later, Baptiste Lecaplain affirmed that he continues to praise his colleague!
