Valérie Lemercier obviously does not have good memories of Canada. During an interview with the Sunday Newspaper, released on November 7, 2021, the actress and director starring in the film Aline – scheduled for theaters on November 10 – spoke about the little “litigation“that she has with Celine Dion’s country.
“The desire to turn Aline is undoubtedly linked to an old dispute that I have with this country. I went to play my first show in Montreal thirty years ago. That evening, Air Canada had bought all the seats to offer them to its staff.“, she first shared. Except that once in the room, the spectators present expected to see the Canadian comedian Claudine Mercier, and not Valérie Lemercier.”No doubt disappointed not to see the imitations of a Claudine Mercier, people left the room one after the other and at the end there was no one“, she then explained. A terrible mishap that greatly affected the 57-year-old actress and director:”I cried about it all night. So, I never wanted to set foot in Quebec again. “
Valérie Lemercier intends to be reconciled with Quebec. “As a result, I never wanted to set foot in Quebec again. I’m going to go there for a week for the film to be released, and that scares me very much. Especially since Celine Dion is their Eiffel Tower …“, adds the star. Maybe she will make the trip with her new lover, to give him some support?
