The rest after the ad
TF1 is definitely a fan of Didier Bourdon. A few weeks after broadcast They gave himhis new legal series carried by the actor, the latter is back with By your sidea rebroadcast of the moving TV film loosely inspired by Jarry's story.
Didier Bourdon wants to change register
On the program of this unit? Didier Bourdon slips into the shoes of a father suffering from terminal cancer, who takes advantage of his last moments to get closer (despite himself) to his son whom he has long disowned.
A total change of register for the emblematic member of the Unknowns? Yes, but let him assume responsibility. Better, let him ask for it. At the microphone of Télé 7 Jours, the actor uttered a rant: he wants to be offered many more roles of this type. To the question, “Why do we see you so little in this register?“, Didier Bourdon said, “Believe me, I sincerely deplore it. I'm even starting to get really angry.“
“I would like someone to offer me something else”
Rest assured, the actor doesn't intend to stop making us laugh.”I really like comedy and I hope I can play a lot more“, but he would still like to venture into new things, just as exciting to play. “I am above all an actor. I went to the Conservatoryhe insisted. Also, I would like to be offered something other than comic roles.”
A snobbery that is far from unusual in this environment, but which greatly despairs him. “I don't understand these labels that people absolutely want to stick to uslamented Didier Bourdon. An actor is capable of interpreting everything, what counts is sincerity.” And to conclude: “I hope that platforms like Netflix and Amazon can move the lines.”
The message got through.
