Tonight on TV: Belmondo’s grandson takes you on

The grandson of the famous Jean-Paul Belmondo, Victor Belmondo had a passion for cinema since childhood. After training as a screenwriter, he made his on-camera debut in 2015 in the comedy-drama The Very Private Life of Monsieur Sim, directed by Jean-Pierre Bakr. Small roles in several feature films followed (All Inclusive, My Baby, Versus or You are You are You are young, you are beautiful), which gradually increased his recognition.

In 2020, Victor Belmondo finally gets the lead role in Christophe Baratier’s Envole-moi. The aspiring actor portrays Thomas, a carefree young man who spends his nights in clubs and his days in bed until his father, a doctor, forces him to take care of one of his patients, 12-year-old Marcus, who falls seriously ill.

Inspired by a true story, this feel-good movie showcases all of Victor Belmondo’s talent. “This guy is very professional. (…) In addition to the obvious family resemblance, he also inherits from his grandfather a grace, a graceful, almost elastic side, a clearly extraordinary attitude, even without mimicry.”Christophe Baratier especially confided about him.

Since then, the actress has appeared in two mini-series (Notre-Dame la Part du Feu and Bardot) and was in the movie Stop with your lies alongside Guillaume de Tonquedec.
