Whether we like it or not, it is clear that Bernard Tapie was a great man. Who fascinated, caused debate, and divided a lot during his life. On the Marseille side, “Nanard” is a respected, loved character, who is missed a little more every day since his death on October 3, 2021. President of Olympique de Marseille from 1986 to 1993, he brought back the coveted trophy in Marseille, which no other French club has managed to win since the coronation of OM in 1993 against AC Milan: the Champions League.
A trophy that allows the Marseillais to boast of being “forever the first”. However, apart from his successes in football, or in business, Bernard Tapie also has the image of a man who has had some problems with the law. And this somewhat darker period of his life will be treated by netflix. Indeed, the streaming giant is preparing a fictional series on Dominique Tapie’s companion, expected for September 13, 2023.

Laurent Lafitte in the skin of Bernard Tapie, the latter’s grandson sees red for an obvious reason
Laurent Lafitte will play the main role and will step into the shoes of Bernard Tapie for the project of netflix. A six-episode project that will retrace the highlights of “Nanard”, from the most glorious to the darkest. To present this project, the streaming giant therefore called the late businessman a “businessman, politician, boss of Olympique de Marseille, singer” and above all… “scammer”.
A term that Bernard Tapie’s grandson, Rodolphe, only very moderately appreciated, and that can be understood… This one, beside himself, has indeed reposted the Netflix publication, accompanied by a rather explicit legend : “‘Tapie the hustler’ seriously Netflix?? You need to call it that to promote your show… That sucks…”. A misstep on the part of the platform, which will not please the “Tapie” clan and which is already putting pressure on Laurent Lafitte.
