In March 2020, a few days after this much commented ceremony, Lambert Wilson said he was "
very angry
", at the microphone of France Info.
"It makes no sense. If we believe that there is something not working in the fact that Polanski has nominations, then we do not come and we do not leave in the middle of the ceremony ”
, referring to the gesture of Adèle Haenel during the award for best director to Roman Polanski.
He also attacked the mistress of ceremony Florence Foresti, who had repeatedly made fun of the filmmaker (designating him in particular under the qualifier of "Atchoum"), and had refused to go back on stage after the award of the controversial prize.

"I live in the surface world"
Invited this Tuesday of "En Aparté", the program of Canal + now presented by Nathalie Levy, the actor returned to this episode. He says his media release cost him his place in Greenpeace.
“I had been working as an activist for 20 years […] I was really a spokesperson for Greenpeace and because I expressed something which seemed to support the Polanski case, which was not the case, I I was fired two days later without any other form of trial,
”explains the actor. The association which fights for the protection of the environment would have simply let go of the actor in the face of the media coverage of the affair.
"I was told, 'Greenpeace underwriters cannot stand someone who supports these words.'"
