There is another cute interview with Roy at the premiere which is now online. It is by Catherine(Beauchamp,I think) who is a cute little brunette who has her own website: www.letapisrosedecatherine.com where she does "red carpet" interviews with Quebecois stars. She did one with Claude and Celine for French Kiss (that didn't say anything new other than what I had already translated - except asking each of them if the other was a good "french kisser" - really! :o ...as if he could ever compete... :rolleyes: )

Anyway, back to Roy! I will review the conversation between Roy and Catherine and see if there is much new - but who really cares what is being said in this video? - he looks soooo darn good!! :wub: (she does a fair amount of flirting with him...which she is known for...for example, at the premiere of Je Me Souviens which, I think is somewhere on this site...of course, Roy doesn't seem to mind it!) :woohoo:

I will return with a "he said, she said" if it is warranted. ;)

Translation of Video Interview “Sur Le Tapis Rose de Catherine” July 28, 2010

Catherine – What was the best thing about playing Mercier?
Roy – The best, well, it was fun …I had just returned from the North Coast (of Quebec) where I’d been filming Louis Bélanger’s movie (The Timekeeper) in the mosquito-infested woods, which I love! But then a week later I’m in Paris at a “grand hotel” with a chauffeured limo on a major film set with a great gang of people so…and the pay is always fun!
C – You had met Vincent Cassel 25 years before?
R – Yes, before.
C – Was it better to have a friend like that?
R - Yes, well, he had introduced me to Paris.
C – When Vincent Cassel was in Montreal before, all the journalists said he was really disagreeable. What’s he like to work with on a shoot?
R – Very good! I had no problems.
C - Was he nice?
R – Certainly! I find he’s an intelligent and generous actor, “on the mark” - in the sense that he totally understood the story. I could see why he has become a star.
C – I read that you were overwhelmed by the huge sets and the technical expertise they employed…
R – I wasn’t overwhelmed but …just that it was a film set where they had so many resources at their fingertips…like, during the famous prison break scenes that took a few days to shoot, they took one day just to mark out the camera positions – I’d never seen that before.
C – To play the role of Mercier - Did you have much information about him to study the character?
R – Yes, well there’s very little documentation about Mercier – a couple of newspaper articles – but the main impressions of Mercier were from what Mesrine had said about him. As it was a film about Mesrine, what mattered was to play Mercier from Mesrine’s point of view. What was important was how a criminal of equal status behaved with Mesrine – because Mesrine did perceive Mercier as an equal.

This next question (in bold type) is a mystery to me – I am not sure what she is asking him – nevertheless it all seems in good fun, whatever they are talking about! I have asked for help on this from an Italian friend (who understands French), as the word sounded Italian, but she says she cannot understand it either (and she checked with a French friend and she’s lost as well!) If there is anyone out there who can help – Please jump in!

C – Have you crossed (come across?) Carvelicci yet?
R- No.(with a big grin)
C – Never! Darn, darn, darn! (laughing)

C – Well, then would you please do the intro and say, “ you are on Catherine’s pink carpet”?
R- No, I don’t feel like it…(smiling as he starts to walk away)
C – Oh! Come on…
R – O.K.

Isn't she asking him if he's met Monica Bellucci (Mrs Cassel)?

Btw that's Hélène Mailloux who gets out of the car first.

Thanks for the translation of the Tapis Rose, Marcia! :) I like Catherine! She is always so good interviewing Roy! I think she has a bit of a crush on him (& who could blame her! :wacko:) He seems to enjoy teasing her too! :lol:
Marcia, I had no idea that was Gilbert Sicotte in the other video. I guess it has been a while since Cap Tourmente!

Viv, I think you've got it! Sounds like she could be saying Monica Bellucci. I totally missed Helene in that clip! :huh: :unsure: Good to "see" you Viv! ;)

[Ale55]

Yes, she says "Monica Bellucci". She pronounces Moniká Beluchí, that's why it doesn't sound very clear.
My husband has an absolute crash :wub: :heart: on Monica (Cassel's wife) like a lot of men around the world and :P I can't blame them. She is gorgeous. So I can understand why Catherine asks that question in a playful way. :D

Thanks Marcialouise.

[marcialouise]

Thanks Viv and Ale55! By George, I think you got it! :D Now that you mentioned her name, when I go back to listen to the interview, it fits perfectly. Catherine seems so crestfallen that Roy hasn't met Cassel's wife, she must be a big fan herself! :lol: Yes, I too noticed Hélène getting out of the car ahead of Roy - good to see her "shepherding" her Number One Client. ;)

Hope you find the links useful :D

[Karen K]

Thank you, Alby. I think I've only had time to watch one and was hoping to find the rest easily so I wouldn't miss out on the opportunity just to watch Roy! Now to find the time to watch them all! Who am I kidding, I will make the time now they are all in one place!! :woohoo:

[Mary]

Thanks for putting them all in one place, Alby! :)
I was just wondering if I had missed seeing any of them!

[steiny]

Thanks, Alby, those were fun to watch. Roy looks like he's having a good time during these interviews. He was smiling and laughing a lot. Very cute!

Mesrine (Cassel) is featured on the cover of Voir this week:

Not too much about Roy, but there's a pic! :D

On Marcia's post #405, she mentions Mercier was thought to support the FLQ. Here is a link about the FLQ for those of us not that familiar with Quebec history.

In case anyone is interested this is some background on the real Mesrine and his lovely career in the Montreal Gazette. It includes a pic of the actual Mesrine.
