With the poster of the films "Les Bronzés" in 1978, then of "Bronzés 3" in 2006, the actor Martin Lamotte does not appear on the other hand in the other cult film of the series, "Les Bronzés font du ski" .

Invited Tuesday of the "Summer Club" on Europe 1, Martin Lamotte explained the reason for this very noticeable absence.

INTERVIEW

It was at the beginning of the 1980s that the story of Martin Lamotte began with the other actors of the "Bronzés".

He then crossed paths with the Splendid troupe, made up in particular of Christian Clavier, Gérard Jugnot, Thierry Lhermitte and Michel Blanc, at the time of café-theaters.

Finally, the actor is part of the cast of the cult film

Les Bronzés

, released in 1978, where he plays a crazy painter, Miguel.

He will also be showing at Les

Bronzés 3

many years later, in 2006. On the other hand, his absence from the film

"We have to cut"

The actor also keeps a fairly precise memory of the scene in which he had shot.

"It was a scene where I was doing a guy in a nightclub, very pretentious, who had his Porsche. And they would come to me in the club saying 'the Porsche is in the way, you have to move it'", remembers Martin. Lamotte.

"So I got in the Porsche, I was reversing, and at that point Michel Blanc was banging on the back of the car, getting down on the ground and pretending to have been run over."

But a concern finally got the better of this scene in the film.

"I was there but Patrice Leconte (the director, editor's note) called me and said: 'Listen, the film is very, very long. It's over two hours. We have to cut'" , explains Martin Lamotte.

"I froze! In Val-d'Isère (where the filming was taking place), it was -30 ° C at night!"

"It's life, it's cinema"

"We spent the night on the ground, on polystyrene sheets, and this scene blew up. Patrice Leconte told me: 'I'm sorry.' It's life, it's cinema ", he continues at the microphone of Europe 1. And if the actor no longer remembers the famous scene perfectly, he will never forget this anecdote about Michel Blanc : "I remember that the poor man, oh dear, was frozen. He could no longer say his text!"
