After having triumphed in Titanium, it is on Canal+ that Vincent Lindon is preparing to make his comeback. The 64-year-old actor, who we haven’t seen for several months, will play the title role of the series Money and healthcreated by the filmmaker Xavier Giannoli, and in which he plays an incorrupt magistrate who tracks down three extremely dangerous and influential crooks. This apparently fictional story is taken from a true story, since it was adapted from “the scam of the century”which hit the headlines in 2005. On screen, the three crooks will be carried by Ramzy Bedia, Niels Schneider And David Ayala.
In an interview given this Monday, October 9, 2023 to Tele-LeisureVincent Lindon returns to difficult actor label which sticks to him, and which he regrets. The sixty-year-old, perceived by the French as a cold, harsh actor and possibly difficult to manage on set, wanted to counter these crazy rumors, which he firmly and regretfully denies: “I am sad when directors, women and men, have the reflex to say to themselves: I like Vincent, but it seems that he is not easy. I want to answer them: Look at the number of directors with whom I have worked more than four times. We don’t force their hand, so it can’t be bad to have me in the morning to work together.”.
The filmmakers are chasing him
And to continue: “It’s not me who’s faithful, it’s them who come to get me, and that’s what upsets me”. Indeed, Vincent Lindon has already collaborated with Xavier Giannoli in the past since the filmmaker directed him in The Apparition in 2018. He also worked several times with Stéphane Brizé between 2009 and 2021, in Miss Chambon, A few hours of spring, The law of the market, In war And Another worldor even with Philippe Lioret in All our desires And Welcome. So you shouldn’t always trust appearances…
