At 73, Jean Reno is a complete actor, who has nothing more to prove. It is also for this reason that he appears a little less on the screen. No doubt eager to enjoy his life, the actor is aware that he is no longer a young man of 20 and that he is much closer to “the end” than to the “beginning”. It is also for this reason that he evoked his relationship with death in an interview granted to the Parisian. “I’m against changing history, going back. I saw Ricky Gervais’ show, ‘Supernature’, on Netflix, and he brings up this subject. Who are you to change history? Do we take ourselves for God? That’s a real question”he confided at first before evoking his own person: “I would say no. Humans, if they didn’t die, they wouldn’t live. It’s hard to accept because I’m at an age where you think about death every day”.
To think of the death that awaits him would prevent the actor from sleeping at night. But this does not mean that he no longer wants to make films and that he will no longer appear on the screen. Moreover, these fans will be able to find it this Tuesday, July 19 on the Canal + Series and MyCanal platform in All those things we didn’t say to each other. A series being none other than the adaptation of the eponymous book by Marc Levy. With this posting, the actor was able to answer the questions of our colleagues from First and make strange revelations.
Thoughts that are no longer relevant
In particular on his “fed up” of the cinema. Or rather, this “fed up” that he thought was invading him when he was 60 years old. “The cinema, I’ve done plenty of it. I’m very happy about it and besides, I thought I was going to get away with it! Stop on my own, take a boat…”he confides before adding: “I said a lot of bullshit so I always thought at 60 I was going to walk away saying, ‘Fuck it. Fuck you!'”.
But the love of cinema seems to have overcome the thoughts of his youth, as he admitted later in the interview: “But no… I didn’t… Because I like to be in the middle of a team and I like to interpret a lot […] As long as I could do that, I would. I’m not looking for anything else. I’m not trying to change the face of cinema…”. Jean Reno finally concluded by sharing his greatest wish: “But all I hope today is that the cinemas will not die. Go to the cinema shit!”.
