Returning to the cinema with the film “Gourou”, actor Pierre Niney multiplies his confidences in promotion. The opportunity for him to return to a project that marked him for life, to the point of inking it on his skin…
Since January 28, Pierre Niney has returned to theaters with his new film entitled Guru. A feature film in which he believes a lot, as evidenced by its intense promotional campaign which ended up giving rise to some criticism and mockery on social networks as it was everywhere… We saw it in particular in the pages of Galawhere he discussed a previous project.
Pierre Niney marked for life: “I will never experience this again“
In the pages of the magazine, the popular actor, now 36 years old, agreed to leave the promotion of Guru to talk for a few moments about the success of the film The Count of Monte Cristowhich attracted nearly 9.5 million spectators. “It was a big surprise (…) The great emotion was to see that it reached a wide audience, even children. Some people quoted lines to me by heart. I will never experience that again. And so much the better: it makes the adventure unique. I even got a tattoo of it“, he confided.
Pierre Niney then revealed to our colleagues the reason for this tattoo, on one of his ribs, which he rarely shows. “We see the island of Monte Cristo and Edmond Dantès, from behind, aboard a boat sailing towards his destiny“, he said. It will be difficult for Natasha Andrews’ husband to later refuse to allow his two daughters, named Lola and Billie, to get tattoos one day too…
Pierre Niney facing his role “the most physical” In “Guru“
If the Caesarized actor gave himself body and soul to the promotion of Gurudirected by Yann Gozlan, it’s because he put a lot of himself into it. And not just in acting…”It’s one of the roles, if not the most physical role, that I’ve done. If the filming of The Count of Monte Cristo was intense, there was a lot of waiting and makeup. There, it was as if I was playing in the theater again. In the big seminar scenes, it was necessary to constantly maintain this energy“, he told TF1.
And Pierre Niney, who co-produced the film with his company Ninety Films, added: “It took a lot of preparation: working on cardio, going to the gym, because Coach Matt’s showcase is also his body, so we had to make people dream.” No doubt he will be closely monitoring the box office figures.
