If today he is back in the cinema with “Retirement home 2″
after the success of the first part, Kev Adams does not forget his more contested debut, in the cinema. And in particular one year, when he was particularly targeted. To Guillaume Pley, this February 15, 2024, he said about the year 2015: “I don’t think I’ve ever been criticized as much as I was this year.”.
“This guy does shit”
And for good reason, explains this box office star that haters love to tackle: “That same year, Profs 2 and Aladin were released. Profs 2 had 2.5 million admissions and Aladin had 4.5 million admissions, so that’s 8 million admissions over the year. At the same time, the 2 films are massacred by critics, massacred by the press, massacred on social networks. Really I believe that Aladdin still today is one of the lowest rated films in the history of Allociné”.
Criticisms which even reached the private sphere, admits Kev Adams, who remembers: “And I see my little brothers who are connected to the internet and who have their hearts in pieces because their big brother is being massacred everywhere and that’s it, it becomes the wave, the hype disappears and suddenly there is On the one hand, it’s fashionable to say that this guy does shit.”.
“This thing for brainless teenagers“
Fortunately, all’s well that ends well for Kev Adams, now 32 years old, who has managed to do well in the cinema, on stage, on television, and even in the business world. . Regarding this difficult, and inevitably instructive, period, he philosophically assures: “Today people talk to me about Soda non-stop all the time like some kind of mythical thing. You have to know one thing, it’s that in France, we like things afterwards, it’s often like that , no but it’s a truth. At the time of Soda, we were getting our faces slaughtered, on the networks everywhere, people were saying but what is this sub-series, this thing for teenagers brainless. The press had massacred us, the networks massacred us, well, at the time of Soda I suffered a lot from criticism, a lot.”
