In the Naceri family, we ask for the father, essential Daniel in the saga Taxi whose first part is broadcast this October 20 on TMC but there is also the son! On August 1, 1994, Samy Naceri became a first-time father to a boy he named Julian. The boy inherited everything from his father. At 28, he looks just like his famous dad: frank and azure gaze, well-defined jaw, the similarities are unmistakable. But it’s not only from a physical point of view that Julian is the carbon copy of his dad.
Like the patriarch, Julian Naceri forged a career start on the screens. As his CV from the Arc-en-Ciel agency indicates, the young actor has participated in several short films but above all has taken part in several adventures in the cinema. It was in 1998 that he started in Little Ben by Ismaël Ferroukhi before landing a role in one for all by Claude Lelouch Over there my country by Alexandre Arcady and The Mental by Samuel Boursinhac before a hell of a nod to his father.
In 2003, father and son met for the first time on a set for the filming of Taxi 3, a passing of the torch in good and due form thanks to the comedy which put Samy Naceri on the front of the stage. After a slump of more than ten years, he returned to filming thanks to a role proposal in Bodybuilder by Roschdy Zem before interpreting six years later one of the characters of the film by Mouloud Achour and Dominique Baumard and once again finding his father on the big screen. The same year, he landed the first role in the short film No Exitselected in the top 30 at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival.
Besides being a talented and up-and-coming comedian, Julian Naceri is also an honest man. In 2014, the son of Samy Naceri was heard by the police after having succeeded in a very courageous task: that of catching up with a driver fleeing his responsibilities and handing him over to the police. If the authorities were not a little proud of the hero, the latter ended up admitting to them that he had lost his driver’s license. A detail that the police appreciated: “He could have been silent. He surrendered himself. He’s a pretty good kid. We had to reassure him. This young man gives a different image than his father!“Or how to save the honor of the family.
