It is a controversy that has a hard tooth… While Omar Sy was promoting the film “Tirailleurs” – currently in the cinema – in which he plays the leading role, this denier had granted an interview to our colleagues from Parisian in which he spoke about the wars in Africa and their impact on the French.
“Ukraine was not a crazy revelation for me. As I have family elsewhere, in Africa, I know that there have always been children at war, broken families. That means that when it’s in Africa, you’re less affected,” he said earlier this year.
Remarks which had immediately reacted the MEP Nathalie Loiseau who was offended by his remarks while following this controversy, Omar Sy “refused” to justify himself. “Understand what you want, what I said, I said. I think it and I assume it […] I don’t owe anyone anything, I’m French,” he had also declared on the set of Daily.
Michel Sardou reacts to the controversy
Invited on the set of BFM TV on the occasion of the documentary “The enigma Michel Sardou” (W9), the 75-year-old man also spoke about this controversy.
“You have Omar Sy, who is making a film about skirmishers and who has the misfortune to say that we have somewhat forgotten the old ones – which is not true, by the way, he is wrong, we have not forgotten the skirmishers – but immediately the whole of France stands on its lugs to say “how, Omar Sy, what does he say?” “, declared the one who returns to the stage in 2023. If Michel Sardou does not seem to agree on the substance, the fact that Oman Sy simply gives his opinion is something that the interpreter of “The disease of love” respects.
