We also had feedback on the fact that I chose Paola, who is Cape Verdean and Italian, to play the role of a young North African. I mean, we also have to lead by example. We are happy when we see Lyna Khoudri play Constance in The Three Musketeers. When I see an Omar Sy playing a Lupine, I don’t say to myself “But after all, isn’t he white?”. It’s up to us to show diversity (…) when they say “yes, she’s in the evening, she goes hand in hand with blacks”. As if it were crazy (…) when we wrote to each other we were like “hey, we need to talk a little bit about everything. Not just about racism or sexism that we can encounter in the media. But in the neighborhood, in the family.
