Since
Welcome to the chti's
in 2008, Kad Merad and Danny Boon seem inseparable.
Fifteen years after this success, the two friends share, for the third time in their career, the poster together with the film
Life for real
, directed by Danny Boon, in theaters on April 19.
Nikos Aliagas took the opportunity of this cross interview to paint their portrait but also to immerse themselves in the archives of their respective lives.
One of them particularly concerns Kad Merad, who, in 2010, saw his first meeting with Hollywood actor Brad Pitt.
So destabilizing for the actor who had just played in
Bienvenue chez les chti's
two years earlier, that he thought that
“it was a fake Brad Pitt, he was so handsome.
It is very very beautiful, already at the time.
We even wonder if it's not false, we want to touch to see
.
“He is so nice”
During this same meeting, thirteen years ago now, Kad Merad could not show his humor and outspokenness.
“I remember there was Brad Pitt.
His wife
Angelina Jolie
and I haven't spoken all evening
,” Kad Merad told Nikos Aliagas.
Unable to hide his astonishment, the facilitator asks him about the reason for this silence.
“Because I don't speak English well, at the time.
Now I am completely bilingual.
Now I can
'anyway'
."
A reflection that does not fail to make Dany Boon laugh, sitting next to him.
The actor continues his story.
“And especially Brad Pitt, he is so nice.
He is adorable, but the same we looked at each other like that, ”
he explains, mimicking wide-eyed and a frozen smile.
The American actor did not speak French either, which created a slight moment of embarrassment.
“No, then me, I wasn't going to say “
How are you?
””
, he simulates facing Dany Boon and adds
: “I didn’t know what to say to him”
