"I'm having all the M6 Christmas TV movies when it's late March!" Shouts Leonardo Di Caprio. "Excuse me for going out of the house to treat people," says Kate Winslet. This extract from the film “The rebel nuptials” as you have never seen it, is a resounding success with the confined population, like a dozen cinema scenes revisited in this “new world” with which we are confronted.
These tasty, iconoclastic, sometimes raw dialogues have made hundreds of thousands of people laugh since the start of confinement on March 17. These extremely viral little videos are the work of the Creustel Instagram account. It is the fusion of two actors and authors, Marion Creusvaux and Julien Pestel.
The adventure began with a scene from the “Godfather” revisited by the couple, in which Al Pacino and Diane Keaton argue violently because of the coronavirus, this “little flu” which prevents the iconic couple from going out. Assessment, more than 178,000 views on March 18, the day after the first day of confinement.
The account of “dubbing and nonsense to pass the time” quickly found its audience and today has more than 200,000 subscribers including stars like Laura Smet or Jean Dujardin. "We did not expect that, so quickly, but we are mostly happy to make people laugh" in this period, respond in chorus Marion and Julien.

"We had our microphone because we had radio ads to do"
“When the confinement was announced, we had already left Paris. We took our microphone with us because we had radio commercials to do, ”explains the duo of actors, also a couple in town. “We wanted to dub funny for a while but do it with our sauce. At the start it was to amuse our loved ones and our friends, they started to follow and laughed, "says Parisian Julien, originally from Cahors and who made his debut at the Palma Show in recent years.
"If we can amuse people for even a minute a day, that makes us happy," said Marion, with a smile in her voice. With several million views, what was a joke between friends is now a real containment activity, which takes close to four hours a day of work.
Thank you messages from medical staff
“There are constraints due to confinement, we choose scenes where there is no one around the two actors, no people or a dinner at the restaurant. It becomes a challenge, to do one a day, especially since we are confined with our 15 month old baby girl. It's a fun challenge, there is no particular pressure, ”says the couple.
Their squeaky humor in a difficult period for everyone makes people laugh but also touches the nursing staff on the front. "We are trying to slip a word about the situation, because we are also sad," explains Marion, who became known in season 6 of Kaamelott. We receive messages from people who work in hospitals, thank you for making us laugh at least once in the day , it affects us a lot, ”says the young woman.
