In this replay of Traveler proposed by France 3, Bruno Debrandt succeeds Eric Cantona. A role for which he asked his blessing to the former Manchester United star. He tells.
This Tuesday, February 7, France 3 is rebroadcasting its series The traveler with the episode The house under the wind in which Bareski, the hero previously played by Éric Cantona, gives way to Kandinsky, played by Bruno Debrandt, who almost did a completely different job. Disillusioned by justice, eager to restore meaning to his commitment, he resumed the heavy task initiated by Bareski. After recovering his van and his dog, he in turn sets off, also determined to complete the unresolved business. Starting with the one that has obsessed him for ten years. If there is no question of eclipsing the former footballer whose shadow of the character hovers, Bruno Debrandt is impeccable and completes its first trip with panache. But how did the succession go with Eric Cantona ?
“I first declined the role of Traveler“
“I was very flattered, but I first declined because I didn’t want to resume a series, and especially not after the “King”. For me, he was the traveler. He’s a sublime actor, a beast that I respect a lot… But I still wanted to know what it was about. [Il rit.], answered us Bruno Debrandt, who had never seen an episode of the France 3 series with Eric Cantona. “I was sent the links to discover it and I found the concept brilliant. I finally agreed, but I wanted to ask for his blessing first. Eric Cantona”.

But Eric Cantona knew the work of Bruno Debrandt and had his confidence. And said to him: “It’s good that you take up this concept that I care about because it’s the story of my great-uncle.” “He’s smart because it meant both “go ahead I trust you” and at the same time “you have a responsibility”, we had commented Bruno Debrandt.
