Rapper, comedian, actor, or even director… Jean-Pascal Zadi has several strings to his bow. And many of his detractors would never have thought he would know how to use them so well. However, for several years, the one who officiates in particular on the radio Movement knew how to prove that he was not simply a comedian. Through his projects, he was able to show that he could be able to convey certain messages, but always with his humor that everyone knows him today.
His work was also rewarded in 2021, a few months after the release of his film “Simply Black”. In the running to receive the César for best male hope, Jean-Pascal Zadi did not imagine for a single second being able to brandish the statuette in front of the public at the Olympia… or even Jonathan Cohen. The latter also told him straight in the eye, a few minutes before the ceremony, as the main interested party at Nathalie Levy remembered.

Jonathan Cohen did not think Jean-Pascal Zadi was going to be rewarded
Indeed, guest of the show “As an aside” this Wednesday, May 31 on Canal +, Jean-Pascal Zadi returned to the speech given to him by the 42-year-old comedian. “The Caesars are nonsense frankly and I’ll tell you something. When I arrived at the Caesars, I was next to Jonathan Cohen”first confided the actor before continuing: “and Jonathan when we sat down at the beginning of the evening, he looked me in the eye and he knows very well, he looked me in the eye and he said ‘eh, don’t believe that you’re going to have a Caesar, you and I are going to stay seated there, it’s the others who will come up’ and after when he told me that, I believed him”.
Finally, “not long after the start of the ceremony”the name of Jean-Pascal Zadi “goes out and [il] come on stage” make his speech. “A discourse that I fully assume because in fact, for me, Simply Black is a film that talks about a theme, it’s a film that talks about a cause, which has a discourse and I I couldn’t see myself arriving on the César stage and saying ‘thank you my grandmother, thank you florist’. I wanted everything the film brought me, I wanted to give that back during the ceremony”he concluded in front of the camera of Nathalie Levy.
