Jean Dujardin is starring in a highly anticipated new film at the cinema… On March 22, 2023, his admirers will be able to find him in Denis Imbert’s latest work called “On the dark paths”. Film inspired by the writings of Sylvain Tesson. On screen, the happy father of four plays the role of Pierre, an explorer writer plunged into a coma after a fall from several floors.
In his hospital bed, the miraculous made a beautiful promise to himself despite the after-effects: that of crossing France on foot. A moving journey that will be rich in emotions. “I read ‘Sur les chemins noirs’ before, in one day. I had devoured it. It rarely happens to me but I posted it on Instagram, saying, ‘If you want to read a book that’s a little odd…’. Obviously, there are plenty of Sylvain Tesson fans, but this book, I found that it had something different from the others”. analyzed Jean Dujardin to our colleagues from France 3 last January.
And to specify: “I posted it and a fortnight later, Denis Imbert calls me saying that he bought the rights, that he adapted this story. He asks me if I would be interested in reading it. I said “Yes, I would be interested.” I already really wanted to leave, to get lost on the roads. […] This idea of walking in a film, taking stock while continuing to do my job, I liked […].

“I don’t know how to say it anymore…”
This Monday, March 20, 2023, Jean Dujardin took pleasure in engaging in this recent shoot on the set of “It’s up to you”.The opportunity for Patrick Cohen to question him about his origins and his attachment to his roots: “You grew up in the Paris region, but you have peasant ties, a winegrower grandfather, summers on the farm… Can we say that you are more provincial than city dweller? More earthy than Parisian?, questioned the chronicler of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine.
“There, we’re going to say I’m on sale…”, mocked the comedian by causing laughter around him.“That’s going to be suspicious, suddenly Twitter is going to get involved. It’s because as soon as you say ‘basically I love France’, it’s complicated. As soon as you say ‘I’m a peasant ‘, it is complicated […]. But the fact is that yes I can not do otherwise. I don’t know how to say it anymore… Without it getting angry“.
Confidences that have had the merit of challenging the flagship presenter of the talk show. “I have lived in this country for 50 years. I have been traveling and seeing these regions for 25 years […]. I still crossed 1300 kilometers […]. And every time I say ‘I love France’ or it’s taken over by a political party”, lamented Jean Dujardin. “Either you’re a suspect, or you have to have a football shirt to tell. When you say ‘I love France’ with a football shirt, there is no problem, the flags are raised. As soon as you leave the stadium, there are no more flags and you are suspect […]”.
