While Julie Depardieu is back in season 6 of the series “Alexandra Ehle”, the actress revealed a filming secret in an interview.
The popular Julie Depardieu was recently a guest on RTL to talk about the return of the series Alexandra Ehlethe 6th season of which is broadcast by France 3. And the 52-year-old actress, who plays a forensic doctor on screen, spoke of a filming secret.
Questioned by Éric Dussart and Jade in the show We’re doing TV againthe actress and mother of two children spoke behind the scenes of the filming of the series. While she regularly has to handle bodies, she explained: “Sometimes it’s models and sometimes it’s actors. So, for me, it depends, I adapt because the scenes where I say technical text, often I place it on the body.“
Indeed, faced with the current jargon in the profession of forensic doctor, Julie Depardieu prefers to have her text in front of her, away from the cameras. “If it’s a living person, of course I’ll say to him: ‘Excuse me, I’ll tickle for two seconds, I’ll put it there for you, is that okay?’ I put post-its when I look at, you see, the shoulders, I say: ‘Ah yes, it’s dislocated, of course.‘ And then I attack the calves“, she added.
And Julie Depardieu, who dreamed of another unusual job before becoming an actress, specifies that this technique for acting is very practical: “But I think if you were in my place, you would do the same. Why learn them when we are supposed to look intensely at something and no one can know that I am reading… Because there is no reverse shot (…) But it is up to us to be good and not take three hours to say our sentence, that poor (the extra who must play a corpse, editor’s note) can breathe. That’s only the wide shots. It’s not my favorite since you can see my post-its.“
However, to use this secret technique, Julie Depardieu must also deal with the actors lying in front of her, especially for sensitive areas of the body. “So actually, the other time I said: ‘if it itches you, I understand very well, I’m super ticklish myself, we’ll put it together.’ And I told him: ‘Just put it on yourself like that, it won’t bother you.’ And the poor dead man has no right to move. It’s not easy to play a corpse. Because you shouldn’t move, it sometimes happens that he moves a little, that he breathes too hard.”
