Since November 6, Franck Dubosc has been starring in the film Merry Christmas by director Clément Michel. This feature film immerses us in the daily life of the Barands, in the middle of Christmas time. Vincent the father played by Franck Dubosc is happy to see his whole family reunited. When his children cancel their visit at the last moment, he cannot conceive of the idea of spending the holidays alone with his wife played by Emmanuelle Devos.
When he decides to go to a retirement home to invite a lonely resident to come and celebrate Christmas at their home, New Year’s Eve turns into a happy mess.
This Tuesday, November 28, 2023, the two main actors were on the set of the show C to you to promote the film opposite Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine. The latter then spoke of the 60-year-old actor’s ability to slip into the skin of various amusing and endearing characters. “He’s very funny and that’s why the public likes him a lot. The French like him a lot. I think his popularity comes from there, he never has any judgment on his characters” declared Emmanuelle Devos.
Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine then mentioned the fact that Franck Dubosc would never have thought of Emmanuelle Devos to play the role of his wife. “No because Emmanuelle is in a cinema that I don’t approach, a slightly more serious cinema that I really like but as a spectator. When Clément Michel told me that he was thinking of Emmanuelle Devos to play my wife , in a comedy I was surprised. Not in terms of ability, I knew she would be capable but I didn’t think she would accept…” he first admitted.
The actor then made a much more philosophical analysis of the situation: “We often say birds of a feather flock together, but I think that’s quite false. In a couple, if we’re too similar, the other weighs us down, but it’s good for him to bring us something else. And This is the same couple that we could form in real life, we have a lot of differences and a lot of similarities, but it’s our differences that would make us a very beautiful couple!”.
“They say ‘birds of a feather flock together’ but in this film, with Emmanuelle Devos, it would be our differences that would make us a very beautiful couple.”@dubosc_franck In #CàVouspic.twitter.com/2oTe3homeb
