“Guys tell me: It’s good, it’s you!” : This French actress was supposed to star opposite Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman!

French actress to star opposite Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman? The work was almost done! However, the said French star will refuse to star in this great romantic comedy classic that hit theaters in 1990, in which there is a huge mistake after 32 minutes of the film.

Who has been chosen to star alongside Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman is… Roland Magdan! In September of last year as a guest in the program En Aparté broadcast on Canal +, the comedian returned with a smile to this incredible anecdote.

“That’s right! I auditioned to play the butler”Roland Magdan reveals The comment is spread by Gala. “In the movie, of course, she was American. But all of a sudden, when Disney auditioned me, they were like, ‘A Frenchman teaching manners to a wayward American girl, that’s amazing!’ So guys. Tell me, ‘It’s you!’

“Besides, it was almost two years between when they said ‘It’s you’ and when the movie was made.”continues the 74-year-old Frenchman. “Meanwhile, I went back to France and at the time I was playing in a theater in Paris. Guys there call me and say: ‘That’s it, we’re making a movie’. No, I’m not free, but between us, I never imagined that she would become a beautiful woman.”

In the end, it was not Roland Magdan who played the butler in Pretty Woman, but American Hector Elizondo. And if you’re wondering, which makes perfect sense, why the French comedian passed on this film, which attracted more than 4 million viewers in France, know that it’s because he had a small career in Hollywood at the time.

Roland Magdan, after a year on the stage of the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, was chosen as the best foreign comic during the show Star Search, which was broadcast on NBC. In 1988, he played a French police officer in the CBS series Pair of Aces.

In the end, Roland Magdan will work in the United States for nine years. And missed out on worldwide box office success by a hair…
