Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, Good Grief, LT-21, Seize Printemps, 120 BPM
Que vouliez-vous devenir lorsque vous étiez enfant?
Je voulais devenir professeur d’histoire car je suis passionné d’histoire. J’aurais adoré être archéologue aussi. Faire des fouilles en Égypte ou en Grèce.
What aspects of your career do you like best/least?
The fact that I stopped for while and then when I got back to acting, I was really ready for it. Sometimes you need time to achieve your goals. And it’s ok.
Quel(s) film(s) considérez-vous comme étant sous-estimé?
Suzanne Lindon’s Seize Printemps (Spring Blossom) didn’t have the recognition it deserved in France. Hopefully, the international audience loved it.
If you could send a note to your 15 year-old self, what would it say?
All the pain and suffer you’re sometimes experiencing will help you one day to be a better person and a better actor so don’t worry. You’re in the middle of something that will help you to grow.
If you could send a note to your 75 year-old self, what would it say?
I hope you’re settled now :)
Le bonheur c'est...
De vivre entouré d’amour et d’energies douces.
Qui ou quoi vous inspire?
Énormément de choses : des films, des livres, des tableaux, mes amis, des inconnus dans la rue, un paysage, une photo. J’essaye d’être très curieux sur tous les sujets.
Whom do you most admire in life? What specific characteristics of this person do you want to emulate?
My mum. She's worked on herself to a level that is really incredible. To improve the human being she is. The relationship we have is the most fulfilling I have. I cherish it. I am so grateful for that.
Quels sont les trois livres que vous insistez pour que tout le monde lise?
C’est dur de n’en choisir que trois car j’adore lire. Je dirais : La Mouette de Tcheckhov, King Kong Théorie de Virgine Despentes, La Familia Grande de Camille Kouchner
If in a bad (sad, sour, or angry) mood, I pop this movie (or TV show) in and know I will feel (even slightly) better once the film wraps up:
Song : Can’t Take my Eyes off You by Boys Town Gang
TV show : The Nanny by Fran Drescher
Un repas que je sers et dont je sais qu'il plaira à tous est:
Mes madeleines maison
What do you consider to be the best mistake you have ever made?
Mistakes help you to learn and grow so I’m ok with all my mistakes
The key to my personal well-being is:
Sport, meditation, family and friends time.
What do you believe to be the greatest gift one can offer another?
Your real and complete attention.
What do you consider to be the greatest gift you can give to yourself?
My real and complete attention. Sorry same answer but it’s the most important thing to me in humanity. You get so distracted by everything these days.
Any advice for those wanting to become performers &/or live their best lives?
Pursue your dreams. Only listen to YOURSELF. You know the truth. It’s inside of you. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not good enough / pretty enough / smarter enough. You’re the one to know where you want to go. Trust your guts.
Derniers mots/Any last words?
Be gentle, be passionate, be real and life will put you on the right path - the perfect one for you.
Un gros merci :)
Avec plaisir Luc.
