Karim Benzema is having a dream season on all counts. The French striker is on the verge of an exceptional year at the forefront of the Real Madrid attack, where he arrived in 2009. After having been in the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo for a long time, he has been able to bide his time and today he is now one step away from taking his club to the top of Europe by winning the Champions League final, which will be played in Paris on 28 May. Returning to the France team in the meantime, nothing seems to be able to prevent the 34-year-old player from obtaining the Ballon d’Or this year and obviously he is now ready to tackle other awards, but rather in the cinema !
He is the director of the film series Camping, Fabien Onteniente who made the secret yesterday. After the success of his film 3 Zeros, released just 20 years ago and which told the rise of a young footballer played by Lorànt Deutsch, the 64-year-old director will direct the sequel! Entitled 4 Zeros, the film should be able to count on the star of Real Madrid as a guest star of the project. It’s through his former agent, the sulphurous Karim Djaziri that Karim Benzema found himself attached to the project.
He was wearing Real’s blue jersey and Karim said to me: ‘Fabien, you have to prepare for the role!’
As he tells Nice-Matin, while he is waiting for his plane to go to the Cannes Film Festival, Fabien Onteniente receives a phone call from the former players’ agent. “Hi Fab! This is Karim Djaziri. I have to get you someone now. An actor, an actor!”relates the director, before continuing: “And there, I see on FaceTime the head of Benzema! He was wearing the blue jersey of Real and Karim said to me: ‘Fabien, you have to prepare the role!’. Something sick. I was in shock. Then Karim Djaziri speaks again: ‘Fabien, you have to write the role for Karim'”.
The sequel to 3 Zeros should be attractive with the participation of Karim Benzema. We will of course find Gérard Lanvin, who should be accompanied by Didier Bourdon and according to Fabien Onteniente, the music for the film should be provided by DJ Snake and Nekfeu, just that! If we don’t yet know the release date of the film, we can’t wait to find out more.
