Invited around the table of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine this Thursday, June 15 in It’s up to youJean Reno remembered his very complicated beginnings to make a name for himself in cinema and on television.
After three years of absence, Jean Reno will return to cinemas in the middle of summer. The actor, who became a must in French cinema at the dawn of the 1990s, will appear in The promises, a romantic film in which he gives the reply to Kelly Reilly and Pierfrancesco Favino – stars of the feature film – and for which he worked under the direction of a certain Amanda Sthers. The latter, also known for her past marriage to a famous singer, was the guest of It’s up to you this very evening to defend his project alongside the comedian adored by the public.
Jean Reno mocks his first TV appearance
The second part of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine’s show has taken on the appearance of a tribute to the career of the great performer, who sees images of him young and awkward in what seems to be his first appearance on the television. He then plays A mystery a daya detective series from the 1970s. “And when you see that, you say to yourself ‘But how can we trust this guy!’ It is not possible !”, comments the now 74-year-old about his own performance. He later confides that he “took doors for years”. Collector of magazines to spot filming classifieds, the cinema lover remembers his many trips “with a friend” and failed casting attempts.

A man driven by his desire to succeed
“We did not eat, it was coffee with milk morning, noon and evening”, admits the septuagenarian, visibly moved. Despite these failures, he was “on” that he was going to be an actor and that, “since the age of 12 or so”. The native of Casablanca (Morocco) therefore persevered even if he recognizes that at certain times his passion was close to “the unconscious”. It will have been necessary to wait for his meeting with Luc Besson (at the origin of the Big Blue et Léon) almost a decade later for Jean Reno to access leading roles and experience the success that we associate with him today.
