War is declared between Gims and Guillaume Canet. Guest of Solène in the last issue of her show You answer or call available on his YouTube channel, the interpreter of Bella did not mince his words regarding the 50-year-old filmmaker. According to him, Marion Cotillard’s companion contacted him so that he could appear in the film
Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom. Unfortunately, this tempting project did not live up to the artist’s expectations.
“Guillaume Canet contacts me and tells me that he is on a big film, I tell him that it’s cool. He says to me: ‘We have Zlatan Ibrahimovitch, there is even DiCaprio who accepted’. So I wait until he offers me a role, there’s DiCaprio anyway”, he revealed.

A major disappointment for the rapper
Impatient to participate in the filming, Marcel and Louise’s dad failed to meet the expectations of Booba’s rival. “The next day he sent me the script. He said to me: ‘Well there you go, so you’re on a boat, it’s your boat. And you see we have a key scene in Asterix, each time you have the pirates who arrive on the water and there, they see the Gauls. You will be able to create your own wooden glasses that correspond with the times. There, we thought of Couler comme ça (in reference to the title Undermined like never, editor’s note)… Because the boat is sinking.” Gims should initially have played the role of Baba, ultimately played by Issa Doumbia.
A scene that Gandhi Djuna, his real name, found ridiculous. “There, I read the thing and I sent a message to Guillaume telling him that normally there is DiCaprio […] And then Angèle you put it in Falbala, BigFlo and Oli they are at the max, everyone is at the max, except me”, he added. And to conclude: “We had a headache, he sent me a stone. We no longer calculated.” Fortunately, the two sidekicks ended up mending their ways, even if Gims did not play in the feature film…
