A few years later, he found his way back to filming for the small screen.
“The pause made me think. For seven years, I did odd jobs and struggled. Suddenly, you earn in two days what you usually earn in a month, so you calm down, you come back down, and you look on the bright side of things !“, he revealed in Technikart in January 2024.
Does Simon Ehrlacher get along well with Constance Labbé?

We didn’t have to create it and it’s great when that happens because sometimes it doesn’t happen and you have to take a little more responsibility or create something like in life. Simon is a very gentle and very kind person and so there is a trust that was established quite quickly.” confided the actress in Télé-Loisirs. Besides, they had crossed paths before. “I knew him a little because he filmed with my brother Guillaume in the series Escort Boys and so we met” she confirmed.
