“Is it me or has the Crown got the wrong French president?” : Fans of the Netflix series didn’t recognize Jacques Chirac, and we understand!

You didn’t have to blink to see Jacques Chirac’s character in season 6 of The Crown.

Netflix’s historical series returns to the final months of Princess Diana’s life in the first episode. In Episode 4, which follows a horrific Mercedes crash that involved the former lady in particular and her companion at the time, Dodi Al Fayed, Prince Charles travels to Paris to retrieve his ex-wife’s body.

If the writers of The Crown took some liberties with the story of the royal family, the hospital scene features the people who were actually on the scene that day. Starting with the then president of France, Jacques Chirac. We also see him greeting the man who is now the King of England.

It’s actor Laurent C. Lucas who lends his features in this hidden scene (15 minutes in). The scene, which did not elicit a reaction from many subscribers (including us), because the resemblance to the former head of state… is quite difficult to watch. Just take a look at Social Network X to see the reaction:

If all of this is obviously to be taken for granted, it’s quite surprising that The Crown – a series used to taking care of its casting and reproducing certain historical events quite faithfully – made so much effort. . Especially the actors who played Chirac on screen… there were many (with more or less success)!

You can watch The Crown on Netflix. Season 6 Episode 2 will be available on December 16th.
