“We knew each other more than 25 years ago and, as a child, I spoke of you as being my oldest friend”, writes on social networks Marc-André Grondin, unforgettable interpreter of Zachary Beaulieu in the no less unforgettable film CRAZY
“You were older, but you didn’t talk to me like a baby. You showed me how to hold a cigarette in a cool way, made me discover Stand By Me, Dinah Washington and the pesto tortellini. We always went to the restaurant on our birthdays. We got together for my 20th birthday and it changed our lives. We traveled together, we shared music, we got old, but despite everything, we never forgot our birthdays. We never forgot each other. Today I lost my oldest friend. He was no longer the oldest of my friends, but he was the one I had the longest. ”
The one who played the big brother of Marc-André Grondin in CRAZY, Pierre-Luc Brillant, also paid tribute to Jean-Marc Vallée.

Magic
Featured Café de Flore, Évelyne Brochu thanks Jean-Marc Vallée for the magic he gave off.
“You knew what she was made of, shares the actress, also through social networks. You invoked her, invited her, invented her, you gathered everything for her to show up. And you captured it to give it to us to see, to experience. There were some in your films, but also in your dinners to which you invited us. There were some in your mixtapes, in your tea, in your texts. There was some in your shamanic voice and in your disco dance moves. It was mostly in your eyes. ”
“Magic.”
