In addition to discussing his role in this fiction, columnist Mohamed Bouhafsi took advantage of the artist’s presence to discuss some dark periods in his past, including a difficult breakup. “This role suits you so well, because we also know that you are a great romantic”declared the journalist first, before recalling: “And you have already experienced it. There is this sentence, ‘I will help you to live, you will help me to die’, it is Clémenceau’s sentence to Marguerite. There is this expression, ‘feeling yourself dying of ‘love’, we see it in the film, and you also experienced it personally. You have already said of drinking ‘a well-measured cocktail of alcohol and drugs’ after a break-up.”
The journalist therefore wanted to know if it was necessary to have experienced this situation for the “play as well”. “You have to have lived, not necessarily that”then clarified Pierre Arditi. Indeed, he emphasized that the “an actor’s first material”that’s life, especially the life of an artist. “If we have not suffered, lived, bled, been deceived, jealous, miserable, divine, if we are not all of this, we cannot play anything, because we know nothing”, he explained. According to him, he plays “better today” that at the age of “40 years”even if this “wasn’t so bad at the time, but that’s beside the point”he laughed. “Today, fortunately or unfortunately, all I have to do is press a button when I have to tear my soul apart, it tears itself apart”concluded the actor, who has never seemed in such good shape since his illness.
