Monica Bellucci to the rescue
“I think that it happens to a lot of actors and actresses at a given moment to be assigned a certain type of role and that our battle is also to say: ‘We are actors, we can do a lot of things. different things’. But it’s complicated to succeed in making this shift.”added his playing partner, Ana Girardot.

To get out of this “case”,
Eric Judor believes that we must force “doors”. Without this, he would not have succeeded in establishing himself in the 7th art. “For Platane, I took a good year and a half to convince Canal to do it. And when I called the actors to come on my series, at the beginning they told me: ‘What? It’s the gogol who wants to do that?’ They didn’t understand what they were reading and what I had done so far. The first person who trusted me was Monica Bellucci. Fortunately, afterward everyone said yes.” Quite an anecdote!
