Kev Adams multiplies interviews and shows to promote Retirement home, new comedy, in theaters this Wednesday, February 16, and of which he is one of the headliners. After making a notable appearance in C à Vous the day before, Kev Adams went through Touche pas à mon poste to visit his great friend Cyril Hanouna. Very close, the animator and the 30-year-old actor spoke about the main lines of the film and the difficulties encountered by the team to manage to finance it: “When we tried to get funding, insurance, we were often told that we had five actors over 80 years old. So it was dangerous, people at risk, we didn’t really want to accompany us” said Kev Adams. Stan Wawrinka then put his hand, not in the racket but in the wallet to give them a hand. This is how Liliane Rovère, Mylène Demongeot or Marthe Villalonga were able to give him But originally, Jean-Paul Belmondo was also to be part of the adventure.
Gérard Depardieu embodies the role of Lino Vartan, one of the residents who takes the character of Milann (Kev Adams, editor’s note) under his wing. And it is the legend Jean-Paul Belmondo that Thomas Gilou, director, had first thought of to interpret it. An offer that he unfortunately had to decline as Kev Adams explained: “He saw this movie. He gave me incredible compliments, he told me that he wouldn’t do it, that he didn’t have the energy, that he didn’t want people to see him like that” he indicated.
Kev Adams was very touched by Jean-Paul Belmondo, who disappeared on September 6: “He paid me an extraordinary compliment, which I will always remember, he told me did you write this film? You’re a good kid!’ I told Gérard Depardieu that and every time he talks about my character in the film, he says ‘he’s a good kid’. It’s a nod to Jean Paul Belmondo“The least of things for The magnificent.
