If the general French public knows him in particular for his role as Denis Bouley in “Fais pas ci, fait pas ça”, Bruno Salomone also had a brief stint in Hollywood. He played in an American turnip… well paid?
At 54, Bruno Salomone already has a long career behind him which notably saw the light of day on the show Star Seeds. The actor has since been known for his sketches with the group Nous Ç Nous – which included Jean Dujardin in the band – and, above all, for the popular series Don’t do this, don’t do thatbroadcast on France 2. But did you know that he also played in the United States?
Bruno Salomone recruited into a terrible franchise!
Guest of C to you in 2015, Bruno Salomone was questioned about his brief American career since he had landed a small role in the third part of Sharknado titled Oh Hell No!, in which we found in the casting Ian Ziering, David Hasselhoff, Tara Reid and Frankie Muniz…”Be careful, this is an arthouse film, in absolute realism… It’s raining sharks, which are caught in a tornado. It’s possible, why not!“, he said, full of irony. And added: “It’s a succession of nonsense, and this one (the first Sharknado, editor’s note) created an absolute buzz, it became a real phenomenon.”
But how Bruno Did Salomone find himself playing in this third part which received a catastrophic rating of 4 out of 10 on the site specializing in reviews IMDB? “It was parodied in France on the Syfy channel, and the producer saw it. He asked me to come and do a little scene, really it was rubbish“, he clarified.
Bruno Salomone attracted by a nice check?
On the set, the presenter Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine then teased him a little…”Did you do it for the money?“, she asked him. But, according to the actor, not really. “No it wasn’t for the money. It was more for the trip. And above all for the experience, I wanted to see what a Hollywood shoot was like and, alongside, Don’t do this, don’t do that, it’s… be careful.”he replied to discuss his disappointment at the franchise’s lack of resources.
Bruno Salomone, however, took advantage of this filming to meet the American actor David Hasselhoff, who spoke to him at length about… Dorothée! Indeed, he seemed to remember well the cult singer and TV host of the small screen with whom he had appeared on a magazine cover.
