Always caring, Nathalie Levy does not hesitate to put her foot down when it comes to questioning her guests.
So, when she received

Indeed, in his last days, the director of
La Haine
, who is preparing to adapt the emblematic film into a musical, published several videos on social networks for the actor he revealed in 1995.

“I want us to resolve our problems in public because
La Haine
is a public film
,” he says, proposing a boxing match.
“I'm going to knock out all your teeth, even your face will go back in its box [...] Get fed up with the fact that you're talking bad about us, that you're talking shit,” continues Mathieu Kassovitz.
You managed to divide something which was basically something strong.
Once I have knocked you out, I will take you in my arms and I will give you all the love that I really owe you

This Thursday on Canal+, Mathieu Kassovitz felt some regrets.
“It had to happen.
Said is someone who has problems and projects them onto others.
And he had been giving me problems for a few years, he was really vindictive.
And now, as I'm preparing this musical, I know that he's drooling left and right and that he's talking shit.
He says he wrote the film, he says I'm a racist [...] he went a little too far
,” he justified.
Particularly pumped up and determined to face Saïd Taghmaoui, Mathieu Kassovitz was nevertheless overcome by emotion.
“Saïd is someone I love.
I love her..."
he repeated before taking a moment.
“...because he was a part of my life early on and he was such a deadly guy.
He had fucking energy.
It was Vincent
[Cassel, Editor's note]
who introduced him to me, I didn't know him.
[...] He was funny, generous, a little crazy yes but really a good guy.
And then, he twisted.
It pains me but after a while, shut up and come back to Earth.
I hope that the people around him will tell him:
“Saïd, that’s enough, you don’t need that, we love you as you are” ,
”
he concluded.
