Sunday is a day like any other for Pierre-Luc Funk. He works, learns his texts, plays in the evening at the Montreal Improvisation League (LIM), watches films, takes the opportunity to relax. And if he had a second chance like in the series Plan B where we can see him now, what would he do? “I wouldn’t change anything major. I wouldn’t change major stages of my life, because that’s how you learn. Maybe I’ll erase some nonsense I made, anyway! »
Sunday, a day like any other
“When you do this job, you agree to work just about anytime, weekdays as well as weekends, so Sunday is a day like any other. In fact, it’s the day when I persist with my parents to make them understand that I work! “You work ? Come on, it’s Sunday!” I explain to them that my life doesn’t work like that, that I don’t do 9 to 5. Sundays aren’t always synonymous with rest, I don’t have a routine. I can rest on a Wednesday and work on weekends. Sunday evening is also the time when I do improvisation at the LIM, the Montreal Improvisation League, at the Lion d’Or. I invite you, the game has evolved, it is very fast, and the shows are really impressive! »
The pleasure of brunch
“I’m a big brunch fan, but the week! Because Sunday is brunch day for everyone and there is far too much waiting in the restaurants! Thursday is perfect, nobody is there, so I have brunch on Thursday. My family is very strong on brunch while I prefer to receive at home for dinner. For a good brunch, on Sundays, we meet at my parents’ house when I’m not working, we make savory and sweet pancakes. It’s a beautiful family day, we go back to basics. I like ! »
A good bath and a good movie
“On Sundays, very often, I learn my texts and I prepare for my week. It’s a day when I take the time to take a good bath. I recently discovered bath salts! I also use it to watch movies. Recently I discovered Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, a film about a small shell that lost its family. We are in solidarity with Marcel, it’s an excellent Sunday film, I recommend it to everyone. I like to watch the classics, I’m a fan of Pixar and Disney movies. On this day of the Oscars, I like to catch up on the films that are nominated, I liked it a lot Everything Everywhere All at Once And Triangle of Sadness. Still, my favorite director is Quentin Tarantino and I have to admit that if I get into Kill Bill, I know it will be an intense Sunday! »
Memories of another era
” Did you finish your homework ? This is the phrase you hear on Sundays when you are of school age. I didn’t like school too much, so Sunday was the last day I was okay before starting my little school nightmare all over again. I felt the stress of tomorrow. When I was younger, I remember my two sisters playing ringette and softball, so I found myself sitting in arenas with a little chocolate milk. At that time when there were still video clubs, I liked to go and rent a movie, and we played Mario Kart with my little sister, ”recalls the actor.
Walk to some good addresses
“I have a girlfriend who loves going for walks! I enjoy walks in the forest, I’m always up for it, but in Montreal, I’m not the type to walk the streets without having a goal! I walk to get a coffee. I live in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district, and there are a few places that I like, such as Café Hélicoptère, where the pastries are excellent, and I must admit that the squash coffee is my indulgence! It is also a restaurant in the evening which serves very good dishes. There is the Supernat café, located across from the Denise-Pelletier theatre. I like going to work there, I write a few little sketches, then I go home. In the evening, it’s at the bar Le Trèfle, an Irish tavern that belongs to my friend Rémi-Pierre Paquin, that I meet some friends for a drink. As for restaurants, I love going there on Saturday nights, I like Montreal Plaza, Impasto and Jun I for their excellent sushi. »
