It was in 1997 that Gad Elmaleh went on stage for the first time with his first one-man show. Offsets. Time has passed since this first show but the comedian has lost none of his superb, especially in terms of humor. But where his fans really discover him and end up adopting him is when the film Pet hits theaters. The feature film was released in 2003 and even if today we are in 2022, viewers do not seem to have forgotten anything about the film.
All it takes is a cult scene, or a voice whose timbre we love, to anchor this moment in our head and never forget it. And speaking of particular voices, Gad Elmaleh recently explained on Daily that the parents stopped him for some strange reason when he was on vacation. “So I’m going to do to you what I do with the kids on the street because today I’m 50 and 5-year-olds don’t know me. So parents usually say ‘look it’s Gad Elmaleh’, they answer ‘I don’t know'”, he confessed at first before adding : “And they answer ‘but if you know it’s the one who does the voice of Gru’. I then tell them ‘yes I do the voice of Gru'”.
“I love sushis”
Indeed, Gad Elmaleh lends his voice to the famous villain of Gru, ugly me and the children are unaware that the actor is hiding behind the character. This is why the parents of the children very often ask him to offer an improvised show to their offspring to please them. But the actor is also arrested for other reasons in the street. Or rather, for another famous line.
guest in 50’Inside, he was interviewed by Nikos Aliagas this Saturday, July 2. The opportunity for Gad Elmaleh to reveal to the host that the film Pet still had a lot of impact in the minds of the French. “What I’m told almost every day of my life is I love sushi”he reveals at first before wondering “How did this thing stay?”. “It has become cult”Nikos then replies before the comedian confides: “It’s crazy it’s completely beyond you because I really hadn’t bet on it, it was just a line in the scene and in the whole film. But why the people on the sushi… Why?”.
