In the comedy “Chamboultout”, broadcast this Sunday evening on TF1, José Garcia slips into the skin of a blind man. A role that necessarily required special preparation for the actor.
The comedy Chamboultout, broadcast this Sunday evening on TF1, sees José Garcia embody a man who has lost his sight and can not help saying everything he thinks. A blind role which necessarily required special preparation from the actor.
“I like it when it’s complicated, first told José Garcia to our colleagues from Europe 1. “When you play blind people spend their time looking at your eyes to see how you are going to fall into the rift. It’s a big responsibility because the film suffers immediately. “
And the actor, who also plays a completely unpredictable character, to specify: “Without filters and with rather funny phrases, you can quickly fall into a kind of actor’s one-upmanship while your friends are playing on the metronome.”
Still at the microphone of Europe 1, José Garcia then said he had found a little technique to be very credible in this difficult role. “You project the image of a red pen”, he explains. “The moment you visualized the red pen your gaze has completely faded. You are looking at that red pen all the time and you keep playing, moving around, doing whatever there is to do.”
And José Garcia to admit to having remained in his bubble, away from the other actors. “I couldn’t get into their delusions”, he notes. “When you’re in a comedy, especially when you’re a group of friends, you spend your time messing around. If I listened to the valves, I would lose my focus completely. Imagine the story of the red pen all day! end of the day, you’re exhausted. In the evening, I didn’t even turn on the light, I went straight to bed! “
