"His death was so violent… An earthquake for his family, for the profession. It's special to take on a role in these conditions. He's an actor I loved. I knew him a little bit. It is an honor to continue what he started. I don't think I would have done it if director Xavier Giannoli, Vincent Lindon and the whole team hadn't welcomed me with open arms. They welcomed me. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Gaspard. Intelligent, precise, very cinephile, cultured, I continue to talk about him in the present. I can't realize."
