Johnny Hallyday: Why Quentin Tarantino refused!

Johnny Hallyday: Why Quentin Tarantino refused!

Jonny Halliday’s cast with Tarantino? It almost happened after the Pulp Fiction director offered the rock singer a role in his Inglourious Basterds. Laetitia Hallyday introduced the information to our colleagues Parisian.

It was to be a brief but memorable role for Perier Lapadit, a character who featured prominently in the first run of the film. That is what Paul is reading. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) finally admits that he is hiding Jews in his basement. And this is exactly what was blocking the man we nicknamed “Youth Idol”.

“The Final Blow”: You’ve never heard of this movie, but Tarantino recommends it

“He was very proud”says Laetitia Hallyday to our colleagues. “He had to play a character who condemns the Jews at the beginning of the film, and it was just not possible for him. Scumbags, criminals, thugs, he could play anything, but not a scoundrel who condemns the Jews. He couldn’t help but think. .”

The role eventually fell to the talented Denis Menoche, who delivered a performance to remember. Laetitia concludes:

Tarantino, of course, was disappointed, but he understood my husband’s choice.

As a fan of movies, especially Italian westerns, we can legitimately assume that Tarantino had seen Sergio Corbucci’s The Specialist, in which Johnny played a bulletproof vest equipped with a few gunshots, and perhaps his appearance with Claude. Lelouch or Jean-Luc Godard.

Anyway, he noticed the singer’s acting abilities, who instead of Inglourious went to shoot the thriller Revenge for Johnny To and appear in the movie Pink Panther 2 with friend Jean Reno!
