Guest this Tuesday evening of the program “Quotidien” on TMC, the actor returned to the controversy around his interview published last weekend in “Le Parisien”.
“People who can read understand what I meant.” The actor Omar Sy returned this Tuesday evening to our colleagues from Daily on the interview he gave to Parisian last weekend.
In the log columnsthe actor who is the poster this Wednesday of Skirmishers had in particular been questioned about the war in Ukraine and subsequently mentioned the conflicts which have hit and are also hitting the African continent. “It has never stopped since the Second World War. I am surprised that people are so affected. Does that mean that when it is in Africa you are less affected?” Omar Sy replied to the newspaper.
Words that made several political figures react and on which the actor was questioned on the set of Yann Barthès.
“It’s not what I say that we attack, it’s me”
“There is a system in place and every time I come out of my hiding place with my little beard, people come and get me polemics about what I said so that I can go into explanations. I don’t don’t want to,” said Omar Sy initially on TMC. “What I said, I said. Understand whoever wants to and if you want to understand something else, understand something else”.
Omar Sy regrets that this story comes “to create a cloud of smoke around the promotion of this film” which “speaks well of France and the war”.
“It’s not what I’m saying we’re attacking, it’s me. It’s not a problem: too late guys,” added the actor with a smile.
“What I refuse to do is justify myself”
Omar Sy was also questioned about his remarks about the flight over the Croisette by the Patrouille de France to promote the film Top Gun Maverick. A show that took place during the Cannes festival during which Tirailleurs was also presented. “I have a thought for the skirmishers. Who deserve, much more than Tom Cruise, the Patrouille de France”, declared the actor in the Parisian.
“I’m not going to explain myself on this, what I’m saying is quite clear […] I’m not going to go into the system to explain what I said”, he reacts this Tuesday on Daily.
“What I refuse to do is to justify myself, I owe nothing to anyone, I am French”, concludes the actor.
