From September 13, Netflix subscribers can watch Tapie, a new series Made in France platform. In this fiction we follow the atypical and eventful lives of Bernard Tap, a sinister public figure, sometimes the boss of Olympique de Marseille, sometimes a singer or even a minister in the government of François Mitterrand.
An incredible transformation
Laurent Lafitte, one of the natives of Comedie-Française, slips into the skin of this colorful hero. For AlloCiné, the actor also returned to this experience and worked on the interpretation of Bernard Tapp.
During this interview, the actor also revealed whether he requested to meet the real hero of the story (Bernard Tapp died on October 3, 2021) or one of his relatives, such as his wife Dominic Tapp.
Then Laurent Lafitte answered us honestly:I didn’t think about it, but Tristan Seguela A while ago he asked me, “Would you be interested in trying to arrange a lunch with Bernard Tapie?”…and actually, I wasn’t sure if this game would help..”
“I would love to meet you now“
He then explains:I wasn’t sure, especially because I think he was a person who had a seductive power… I, as an individual and a citizen, was very interested in meeting him. Laurent Lafitte claims. But as an actor, I got the impression that it would not benefit me at all, so I preferred not to try it. I would really like to meet him to talk about the series. That would amuse me!“
Therefore, it is a logical statement, especially when we know how Laurent Lafitte created this role: “With Tristan, I decided to make my own Bernard Tapp, which is a kind of infusion of everything I could retain as a spectator of his life. (…) I haven’t done any work at all that is a bit more American style, copy and paste.“An impressive performance that can now be discovered on Netflix.
