"Once upon a time, a supporting male role in an American series," began Lyna Khoudri.
"Thousands of miles away, a young spectator struck by the actor's charisma thought in front of her television: '
Oh my God,
who is this guy, who is this genius?' Anaïs Demoustier tower.
The one who awarded two prizes – that of best actor in a supporting role and that of best documentary short film – during the Cesar ceremony, this Friday, February 25, wanted to pay tribute to Adam Driver.
Nominated in the best actor category for his role in
Annette
, by Léos Carax, he was in the audience at the event.
And certainly did not expect what was to follow.
"The spectator was me"
“The talent of the actor radiated the whole world, and it would not take long to find out, continued Lyna Khoudri.
Since then, the spectator was particularly attentive to supporting roles.
Before Anaïs Demoustier adds: "This series was called
Girls
, and the viewer was me."
Lyna Khoudri then celebrated “the birth of a great actor” to whom Anaïs Demoustier “did not think one day of saying”: “
Hello
Adam Driver, well done, outbid the latter.
You have my eternal respect, as we say here
.”
A good-natured speech that made the actor laugh, immediately inclined to applaud him.
