When you start in show business with the same surname as the star of the family, you are very quickly expected at the turn … Alexandra Lamy testified on the set of the show As an aside, on December 23, 2021, evoking the beginnings of her sister Audrey, when she herself had already become known thanks to the small screen in the series A boy a girl.

So if she’s great, we’re going to say ‘Oh well, great’. On the other hand, if it is not good, it has the right to only one chance. Sometimes we missed castings but we have the right to come back.
