Sunday, December 11, Omar Sy was the exceptional guest of Mohamed Bouhafsi in “Focus Sunday” on RTL. And the host questioned the actor at length about some of his speeches, in particular those concerning fairly politicized speeches. And the star of the film “Intouchables” wanted to be very honest on the issue. “That’s basically what we actually do. And afterwards, from there, we can perceive or guess where we are and that’s what counts. I mean where is the actor based on the choices he makes and what he says gives us a little notion of who the person is” he explained. Before continuing:Now, the political speeches that I am given, yes, it is also a bit my fault because I open my mouth sometimes. I do it, again, when I feel like I can’t help it. And I fully assume!”
“Afterwards, I don’t think I have a political speech, I have human, civil reactions, but not at all political in real life. Now, I wear so many things… I don’t care!“, said Omar Sy, currently starring in the film Les Tirailleurs directed by Mathieu Vadepied which tells the story of Senegalese riflemen during the First World War.
Huge star of French cinema and also in demand abroad, the actor wanted to return to his celebrity status and the importance or the symbol that his positions can transmit. “It neither pleases me nor displeases me, it’s not mine, it’s yours. Everyone has their idea of Omar Sy and do what you want with your idea of Omar Sy. […] You have to keep things separate, what I do imposes that, everyone has an idea of me, but I can’t stick to everyone’s idea, otherwise I’ll go crazy.”, he indicated. Before concluding : “I express myself when I need to express myself, when I feel like it, when I think it is right and valid. I make films that speak to me. I tell the stories I want to tell, that I want to share, that’s what I do. The rest, I’ve said it and I’ll say it again, I’m almost 45, you won’t bother me! I do not care ! I don’t care!”
