It’s been ten years since the film “Intouchables” was released in cinemas. A decade after the release of this feature film which is one of the biggest French cinematographic successes and which relaunched the career of Omar Sy, the 44-year-old actor continues his ascent.
If he is of course present on the big screen in France, the comedian and humorist from Trappes, also plays in big productions in the United States. We saw him play opposite Bradley Cooper in “Alive”, play the adventurers in “Jurassic World” and the superhero in “X-Men”.
Omar Sy also proved that he is a king of the small screen by playing in “Lupin”, a Netflix series that broke all international records in 2020.
Omar Sy offers himself a new big role in the cinema
No way for Omar Sy to stop there! This Thursday, August 4, 2022, the one who is the father of five children to announce that he will soon be showing the remake of the film “The Killer” by director John Woo. Released in 1989, this film tells the story of a hitman who decides to change his life and who, during his last “contract”, causes the blindness of a young singer. He then accepts another contract to obtain money to pay for the young woman’s operation…
If John Woo will direct the remake of his film himself, Internet users are surprised but happy to see that it is Omar Sy who has been chosen to play the main role.
