After Ryan Gosling, Philippe Lacheau wants to be the French scapegoat
With The boy of autumn, director David Leitch (John Wick) decided to highlight the profession of stuntman, what he was before becoming a director. And he is Ryan Gosling who gave this shadow role. In the film, the actor plays Colt, a stuntman who works on the set of Jody’s (Emily Blunt) blockbuster, a director with whom he has a complicated relationship. But things take a strange turn when the film’s star disappears and Colt is tasked with finding her. Because this time he will face many very real dangers.
While The boy of autumn is about to be released in France on May 1st, the film crew went there to promote it. So David Leitch, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt came to say a few words to the audience during a preview. Except that in the audience there was a familiar face, that of Philippe Lacheau. The actor and director, accustomed to reaching over a million viewers with his comedies, grabbed a microphone to inform David Leitch that he too wanted to become a stuntman.
This was followed by a funny sketch with Ryan Gosling noting it a certain similarity between them, and offered to be his replacement. But this obviously isn’t enough for Philippe Lacheau, who replied that he wanted “to be the French autumn boy“. To give him an idea of what awaited him, David Leitch brought his stuntmen for quick representation. A funny moment that Philippe Lacheau then shared on his account Instagram.
The actor and director has a habit of hijacking American cinema
Alone, Philippe Lacheau admits in the comments to his post that it was an unlikely meeting. There is no doubt that meeting Ryan Gosling must have had a certain effect on him. But this moment could also give him concrete ideas for the future. He had already hijacked the superhero movie Superhero in spite of himself, which for a time was conceived as a parody of an action film like Jason Bourne. And we have already seen him play Ryan Gosling in a scene from 3 days maximumwith a nod to Guide. To see if one day the actor will go further, truly offering a French version of The boy of autumn. In any case, this would not happen right away as Philippe Lacheau is preparing his next film Marsupilami.
