He was a clown at the Motorhome Show. True or false ?
Reda Kateb : True. I even made a short film about it called Pitchoune. It is extremely formative. It’s without a net and it can sometimes be a bit difficult but it’s very interesting.
Like his character in The promises, he prefers zucchini to kebabs. True or false ?
Reda Kateb : False. There are days when I like to eat zucchini and others when I eat kebabs. That’s the joy of acting.
His dog always accompanies him on the shoots. True or false ?
Reda Kateb : True. He takes me wherever he goes. And I heard that when he hears “engine”, he’ll lie down in his basket.
The politician who has marked him the most is Obama. True or false ?
Reda Kateb : True, in a way because “Yes we can” is a message that marked my generation a lot. But false, at the same time, because in my childhood, it was Laloë, the mayor of Ivry-sur-Seine, the city where I grew up, who most marked my childhood by his actions.
He was born the same day as Martin Luther King. True or false ?
Reda Kateb : I didn’t know, no. I had never been told that. I was told it was the same date as Molière, January 15. But Martin Luther King, well, well.
Isabelle Huppert is an excellent tango dancer. True or false ?
Reda Kateb : True. Even if we never danced the tango but figuratively, we could say that the dance that we lead, our two characters in the film, can be, at certain times, a form of tango, yeah.
He considered becoming a math teacher. True or false ?
Reda Kateb : Mathematics ? False. Absolutely wrong. I stopped math in 3rd, I think, 4th or 3rd. At one point, I thought maybe of becoming a French teacher. I don’t think about it anymore, but maybe one day I’ll give acting lessons. I find that transmission is something that I might like at some point.
