Balthazar on TF1: Was Tomer Sisl doubled in the scene where he jumps from the plane in mid-flight?

Launched last Thursday on TF1, Balthazar’s new 4th season, starring Constance Labe as Police Captain Camille Costes, continues this evening with two new episodes where viewers will be able to find two former actors from Tomorrow that we own. Luna Lou and Cyril Garnier.

And if the first episode of the evening, “outwardly”, focuses on the disappearance of a little girl abducted from her parents’ house in the middle of the night, the second “Still Life” particularly emphasizes the souls because of it. A series in which Rafael Balthazar (Tomer Sisley) parachutes out of a biplane he was piloting to inadvertently enter the palace of a couple suspected of murder and stealing paintings.

And if the sequence in question is very impressive, this trick was performed by Tomer Sisley himself, without any study. “I do all my tricks”The actor admitted to our microphone, a little surprised and delighted that we might think a professional stuntman was hiding behind Balthazar’s jump.

“You stabbed me in the heart with a small dagger there (laughs). I thought it was obvious there was no double and I was jumping from the biplane, but if in doubt, it bothers me (laughs). No, of course I am. So far, I’ve done all my tricks on the show. “.

Waterfalls at the center of the serial DNA

The Balthazar star, who made us laugh at the sequel to Rich 4, which was rich about his character’s childhood, explains that from the beginning it was an idea to incline the pathologist who was talking to the dead. “Burn life at both ends”. And that’s why the idea came up that the writers were asked to include a series of multiple actions in the series.

“I was told about the series and especially the character before I read the script. And it was Balthazar that we know: live skin, sensitive, melancholic. And who burns life at both ends. To illustrate this, the authors went. “I drank a lot. I told them, ‘There are other ways to burn life at both ends.’.

And so was born the TV series that we know, Tomer Sisley little, at the same time, a kind of French Tom Cruise. “It will allow us to watch TV series that we are probably less accustomed to in French TV series. Because we do not often see tricks on French TV.”Adds Balthazar’s translator, who seems to take great pleasure in performing the series’ various action sequences.

On the other hand, because these are the tricks I do myself, I thought it was an asset to the series. It is always a plus when the actor himself does the tricks. That’s why we talk so much about Tom Cruise. In an Impossible Mission “.

A trick inspired by L’As des Aces

However, the actor insists that he has his limits and is scared like everyone else. “I’m not dizzy (laughs). I’m scared like everyone else. I’m just scared. Of course, when I’m in control, it ‘s easier. Jumping ten meters. Aribag is what I’ve done a hundred times. I’m going to, but compared to people who have never said a fact, experience makes it easier to get there. “.

“But I, like everyone else, am scared and obviously still have limits, which are calculated risk limits.”Continues Tomer Sisley, who explained that he had already performed the Biplan Trick in the 4th episode of the TV show a few years ago.

“The idea is not to drive in Paris at 150km / h when I run at all the red traffic lights in the hope that it will pass. It never is. But on the other hand, when you do a trick like the biplane where I jump. “This is what I already did for the TV show where I had to do the Belmondo trick at L’As des Aces, because this is one of the few tricks he did. You’re not doing it yourself.”.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Tomer Sisley, the producers and screenwriters of Balthazar, under the direction of creator Clotilda Jamin, performed this trick in a full-fledged jump in the 4th episode of Season 4, which airs tonight at 10pm on TF1.
