And to continue: “Look at what is happening.

Instagram and TikTok are full of people giving fake pictures.

Men should be like this.

Women should be like that.

You see ?

It's a total fantasy of what sexuality should be.

And we tend to forget what it's really about.

It's about being yourself."

Roleplay

The actor mentioned the subject in connection with the character he plays in the

Liaison

series (alongside Eva Green).

Vincent Cassel, who plays a spy, went to meet mercenaries, symbols of strength and bravery, to prepare for his role.

"They don't look dangerous.

They have to appear and act like they're wimps at certain times.

Which makes you think you can master them, but you can't.

It's another way to show what it's like to be a man.

What is it, then, for Vincent Cassel, to be “a man”?

To this question, the actor draws a dubious parallel with influencer Andrew Tate, who hit the headlines last January.

Former kickboxer, persecutor of environmentalist Greta Thunberg, the latter was recently detained in Romania for a pimping case.

"Isn't he part of this fantasy (

of a virile man, editor's note

)?", Then questions the husband of Tina Kunakey.

While the actor doesn't deny that the influencer "says a lot of things that sound really problematic," he does add that he also says "things that are actually interesting, because he wants to stand up for masculinity."

“It's almost shameful to be masculine these days,” he adds.

If men become too vulnerable and too feminine, I think there's going to be a problem."

Outcry on the networks

A position that has since caused an uproar on the networks.

“It is rather that they become like Vincent Cassel that we would have a problem”, launched a furious Internet user.

The La Haine

actor

also faces a lot of criticism for his relationship with model Tina Kunakey, 31 years his junior.

"Vincent Cassel, wasn't he the one who married a woman who had just come of age?", "Vincent Cassel is a big disgust who is attracted to young women, so we happily ignore his opinion", "I would rather say that it is shameful to be a Vincent Cassel these days”, can we read on Twitter.

The actor has still not reacted to the controversy.
