Saying that you love your country is not always easy. Indeed, it can often be misinterpreted and it is probably not Jean Dujardin who will say the opposite. The 50-year-old actor, starring in Denis Imbert’s film in theaters this Wednesday, March 22, “On the dark paths”rightly mentioned this “problem” during his visit to “C to You”. Guest in the daily France 5 this Monday, March 20, the ex of Alexandra Lamy was invited to react after the criticism received following her passage in “seven to eight”, March 12, 2023. A passage in which the actor confided his love for France. Patrick Cohen wished to have his opinion on the subject and the criticisms that this could lead to.
“All of a sudden, Twitter is going to get involved!”he confided to the journalist before specifying: “As soon as you say ‘I love France’ it’s complicated. I don’t know how to say it without getting angry. I’ve been living in this country for 50 years, I’ve been traveling for 25 years and I see its regions”. Jean Dujardin knows his country well and was able to discover more of it during the filming of the film. “On the dark paths”. A shoot that allowed him to cross 1300 km as he wanted to remember.

Jean Dujardin loves France and does not want this love to be “recovered”
Following his intervention in “C to You”, the ex of Alexandra Lamy was again questioned on the subject by Julien Sellier. At the microphone of RTL this Tuesday, March 21, the journalist first recalled that the filming of the film released in theaters this Wednesday, March 22 had been “a hell of a walk through France” for Jean Dujardin. “You spoke precisely of local terrines, local alcohol… you say ‘I don’t know how to say that I love France, without it getting irritated’. Do you irritate people?”he asked afterwards.
The opportunity for Jean Dujardin to provide some details on this subject which is so much debate: “You see what I mean and besides it has nothing to do with Twitter. Twitter is not the spectator, fortunately. No, it’s that, suddenly, we feel it”. Indeed, for the 50-year-old comedian when we say “I love France”, “if you don’t have a football shirt you are a bit suspect”. Or it can be “recovered by a far-right movement”. But the Oscar-winning actor does not want to hide and wants to let it be known that he loves this country in which he lives “for 50 years”. “I didn’t leave in the United States, I like it and I like to say it. I don’t think it hurts to say that we like France”, he finally concluded. What end the debate!
