A flamboyant man who was once a sales clerk, singer, actor, sports impresario, business mogul and government minister, Bernard Tapie led a rollercoaster life wilder than most fictional characters depicted in pop culture, even those created by Martin Scorsese.

One of challenges for his role was to convey Tapie’s humanity even when we see him deceiving others to get what he wants. Lafitte pulled it off “without falling into a caricature” or “staying in character,” he said. “It’s not a performance where we don’t recognize the actor at all. I wanted this to be my version of Tapie so I had to find a balance in terms of the resemblance, gesture, way of speaking and voice,” he continued.

Seguela said Tapie was a “very French incarnation of the American dream” who “surfed on the wave of the American self-made men like Trump who were showcasing themselves on TV in the 1980’s.” But in France, this type of attitude ruffled feathers even if it sparked some fascination, he argued.
