In The House, very beautiful series on the world of fashion, currently available on Apple TV+, Lambert Wilson plays Vincent Ledu, a talented but fallen designer. Upon learning of the cancellation of an important order for a rich Korean family, Vincent explodes at his colleague Perle and makes racist remarks. Without knowing that it is being filmed and that the video will be found the next day on social networks. A slippage that is very costly. If The House does not tell a true story, this starting point is reminiscent of the affair of John Galliano, former artistic director of Dior, who was fired in 2011 and prosecuted due to anti-Semitic remarks. As a public figure, is Lambert Wilson afraid of finding himself in a similar situation as his character in The Housewhen the Internet and social networks are always on the lookout for the slightest phrase likely to destroy a career?
“I’m a bit of a big mouth” : why Lambert Wilson is now trying to hold his tongue as much as possible
The actor answered the question sincerely during an interview with Télé-Loisirs. “I’m a bit of a big mouth and I was trapped, began Lambert Wilson. When I do interviews, I always have the impression of being with friends, I don’t really pay attention and, afterwards, the communications specialists tell me: ‘But you’re totally crazy! You forget that you are a man, white, that you are known, that your words have repercussions!’ It’s true that I have to make an effort. The result of the races is that we no longer say anything, about anything. So, it’s very comfortable, that’s the position I’m in now.”
“This led to a very negative reaction, which really had an effect on my life,” remembers Lambert Wilson
Lambert Wilson looked back on two past experiences where he regretted having said too much. “Twice I said, in the heat of the moment, not bullshit, but I expressed myself, let’s say, the actor continued. And that led to a very, very negative reaction, which really had an effect on my life. And, another time, it concerned a person, an actress that I adore, I spoke about her as if she were my best friend and as if I was with a friend and not live on the radio, and there, it was complicated to catch up, I’m not entirely sure I managed to catch up with that. So, now I’m very careful, especially on television because, in the excitement of the moment, we become a little talkative. So I’m trying to sew my lips shut.” Irony of fate for an actor who had to take seams to embody the character of Vincent Ledu in The Houseopposite Carole Bouquet in the role of an implacable businesswoman, freely inspired by Liliane Bettencourt.
