Clem (TF1) – Augustine Galiana: "Adrian is having a minor midlife crisis"

Adrian stumbles upon the diary of his father, Antonio, who died six months ago. What will you discover?

Augustine Galiana: Everything his father wanted to do in his life. It gives him ideas. You could say you had a minor midlife crisis.

Pushing the limits a little?

His son commits a spree that will cause trouble with his family and his girlfriend, Amélie (Karine Testa).

In previous seasons, Adrian was very focused on his son. There, her father is over her, even if it means neglecting her romantic relationships. isn’t it too much

Adrian was born under X. Family ties are more important to him. My parents divorced when I was very young, I understand his attitude. I’m not a father, but I think I would have done the same if I had a son. But Adrian, who constantly wants to be closer to this lost father, will be a little lost. Fortunately, this will also lead to some very funny situations typical of the basics of the series.

Like these scenes where Adrian is freediving in the pool. Were you specially prepared for these scenes?

I got some education. It requires a lot of concentration. Sometimes I felt like I was going to drown. (Laughs) I can last 55 seconds. It’s not that bad.

Adrian adopts his father’s motto: “Know, think, dream. » Does this inspire you?

Yes, I feel things have stabilized at my job now. It takes a lot of work to dream. (laughs)

You were the “beautiful boy of the staff” until now. Competition is fierce this year with the arrival of François-David Cardonnel (right photo) as Jérôme, a former member of Clem. Isn’t he so jealous?

But not at all! There was an instant alchemy, like two friends meeting. i saw you play charity bazaar. There, yes, I can say well, I was envious of her role (the role of a journalist, note). I didn’t know you were a former candidate. Ko Lanta. So I had no prejudice. I find it very good to break stereotypes in this way. Thank you for this discovery because he is a really good actor.

Besides seeing you on Clem, we’ve been following you at Ici tout startup for a year and a half… When it started, you were afraid that the public wouldn’t embrace your character, Lisandro… Did you trust it?

Super sure! Especially due to my role, I sometimes act harshly towards the students of the Institute. Despite this, people come to me to show their enthusiasm. Like the French, the Belgians, you’re with me… I can’t find words.

Are you the one who voted for Alvan & Ahez on the jury to represent France in the Eurovision Song Contest?

We didn’t understand anything but it worked. We had a band in Spain that once sang in Galician. He was not caught. So I thought it would be good to give these young Bretons a chance. Introducing other countries to the lesser known face of France.
