Transforming Laurent Laffitte into Bernard Tapie, this is the new challenge that Netflix is launching! A bet that could have been tricky, but which, given the snapshot published on the platform’s Twitter account this Thursday, should be perfectly met. Indeed, we can see the French actor completely transformed, under a chestnut wig, in a pose that fits perfectly with the businessman who died last September. This is the first time that an image has filtered from this ultra-confidential filming, which began in January and on which information is coming out in dribs and drabs. The casting is for the moment kept secret, with the exception of the title role: it must be said that the resemblance was already obvious before any transformation!
If the project is in full preparation, it did not really win the support of everyone, in particular the main interested party, who did not really want to see his name associated with this project: “I was against. He’s a friend’s son. Doing it without asking me for my agreement in principle is not very good. There are things we don’t do. That there are documentaries is another thing, but borrowing my name is a bit heavy“, had declared the father of Sophie, Nathalie, Laurent and Stéphane to Var-Matin, referring to the fact that the director of the series, Tristan Séguéla, is the son of another businessman, Jacques Séguéla.
