“We were dependent on the weather. We never knew the day before if the scenes planned for the next day were going to be able to be shot. I learned the entire scenario, my lines and those of my partners, by heart, to be ready in the event of a last minute change“, he told our colleagues at TV Magazinein an interview to be found in their October 22, 2024 edition.
Samuel Le Bihan also put his health to the test: “I was the guarantor of the emotional and physical state of this character, which evolves over the days and struggles. I lost 10 kilos in three weeks. I didn't share meals or evenings with the team. It wore me out, tired me, but I used it in the interpretation.” In C to youthis Monday evening just before the broadcast of Alonehe said more about his diet: “I ate seaweed ! They were prepared by the props designer, and as she said 'no I can't give him that, it's really disgusting' she gave me some onions and it was delicious!“
