He responded at length to Paris Match and in particular on the abundance of his filmography, particularly poorly accomplished comedies.
“Yes, maybe. I have never made a film just for money, but I have made them for the wrong reasons,” he admits. When I started, even after several main roles, I was able to accept an extra in a variety show to play a gendarme who locked C. Jérôme in a police van.

We go there saying to ourselves: “Either it’s going to become cult, or it’s going to fail.” “, he explains.
