For seven years, the actress has played Florence Cassandre in the eponymous series broadcast on La Trois, a woman with a strong character, ex-police commissioner at the prestigious 36 quai des Orfèvres.
If until then, the 52-year-old woman evolved more in the middle of the theater, her role in the television series will be welcomed with great enthusiasm by the general public.
Invited by Frédéric Lopez on the show "A Sunday in the countryside" on February 19 alongside pastry chef Pierre Hermé and singer Amir, Gwendoline Hamon revealed the underside of her auditions for the France 3 series.
"You have to constantly prove"
“It was necessary to pass four scenes and thus it was all the film what.
Cassandre is a cop, Cassandre is a mother, Cassandre is in love, Cassandre is mean.
And so I arrive in front of the casting director and I told her that I spent four days there to chiadé the scenes
, ”says the actress.
This cast even goes so far as to annoy him greatly.
"At this point, I've been doing this job for 25 years, I feel like I've played everything, we still have to prove,"
she warms up before adding:
"that's it , this job.
You have to constantly prove, you never stop proving.
[...] It always calls you into question and it weakens your emotional balance all the same, and your confidence
.
Thinking she missed her audition, Gwendoline Hamon puts this experience aside.
However, a few days later, it was finally her who was to land the main role in the series broadcast on France 3. "
Then the producers told me
'it was obviously you right away in the tests'
".
And despite this success, which counts 5 million viewers, the actress still has a problem of legitimacy.
“You know what
?
I don't save lives, I'm not a hero.
Cassandre is a heroine, I am an entertainer.
I am someone who relaxes, gives emotions, makes people laugh or cry.
And I thank this public who dubbed me because it allowed me to do my job and exercise my passion.
