“To play Obelix, you have to have daisies in your eyes. » This is the only sentence that Gilles Lellouche heard from Gérard Depardieu as a transmission when he called the giant of French cinema. But did we really need to say more? In any case, it seems that the advice has borne fruit as Gilles Lellouche in turn seizes the character of a menhir delivery man alongside Guillaume Canet who portrays an Asterix full of existential questions (“Do we have enough perspective on the magic potion? »)
On the occasion of the release of “Asterix & Obelix. The Middle Kingdom”, in theaters Wednesday 1er February, we submitted the actor duo to a questionnaire that couldn’t be more Gallic. Who wears the best mustache? Who can’t do without meat? Who is the most blue flower? And, finally, who is the more Gallic of the two actors? Guillaume Canet and Gilles Lellouche, accomplices in the city as on the screen, share impressions and anecdotes of filming after having taken on these roles not quite like the others.
“Asterix & Obelix. The middle Empire “directed by Guillaume Canet, in theaters February 1 (1h51).
