This January 22, 2024, viewers discovered two new episodes with Vincent Lindon, Ramzy Bedia, and Niels Schneider. Virginie Efira’s companion spoke about this role, which fell to her after the death of Gaspard Ulliel, opposite Mouloud Achour.
“It was a huge shock…”
Guest of Clique, this January 23, 2024, the 36-year-old actor has already revealed that when he arrived on set, scenes with the late actor had already been filmed, and the production welcomed him very well. It was in fact to Gaspard Ulliel that Xavier Giannoli had entrusted the leading role in his series Of money and blood.
When he died following a skiing accident, Niels Schneider remembered: “It was a huge shock for the entire profession, for his family obviously, for the public. I came home in the most humble way possible“. If he agreed to take over, the actor reveals: “And then it was also a way of paying tribute to him, in a way, he was a huge actor. And to be able to continue where he left off, that’s the tribute I could pay him.”
“He would have made a fantastic Jérôme Attias, I’m sure”
A role that he did not approach without difficulty. Also, the young talent assured: “And then after that in the work, the difficulty was not trying to imagine his own interpretation of Jérôme Attias. And it was to tell me how I invent my Jérôme Attias. Not to try to imagine what he would have done, to copy what he would have done. We are very, very different actors. And he would have made a fantastic Jérôme Attias, I’m sure.”
