Guest on the waves France Bleu at the show in retro With the release of her latest film, the comedy Hawaii, in theaters on May 10, Berenice Bejo has (in particular) deleted some of the memories from the shoot. Including OSS 117: Cairo’s Nest of Spies, a comedy co-written by her future husband, Michel Hazanavicius.
The actor says that he was worried during the filming; At least in the beginning. “For the first two or three weeks I was like, ‘I’m going to be fired,’ I thought I was going to be fired. He will understand that it is not for me, it is possible that he chose me for this film.”
It seemed incredible to me, I did not understand what I was doing there. I was so annoyed that sometimes Michelle would ask me something and I didn’t understand. There are jokes that I completely missed.” He confides.
At the age of 29, at the time of the casting of this film, Berenice Bejo suffered, according to her, from “impostor syndrome”. “I’m really pretty but a typical case of a dumb actress who doesn’t understand what they’re saying, but it’s okay, be pretty and shut up. I had that syndrome. J loved this project so much I couldn’t believe I was there.
I spent two years doing shit, I turned down a lot of things that didn’t interest me, and suddenly I was on this film with this director who had a vision that I like in cinema, I told myself that I couldn’t do it, and it made me a little worried.
The result, a brilliant parody of spy films, sometimes full of absurd humor and sprinkled with iconic lines, was appreciated by more than 2.3 million viewers.
