71 years old, 160 films, 1 César: when will we see this ultra-popular actor in the cinema again? – Actus Ciné
What are the upcoming cinema projects of our national Thierry Lhermitte? Let’s take stock!
Thierry Lhermitte, 71, is one of the most popular French comedians. In 2021, the Académie des César awarded him a birthday statuette with the entire Splendid troupe to celebrate the longevity of the small comic band.
Recently, the actor has appeared in several light comedies such as the two parts of Joyeuse retraite, Chasse gardée, Mystère à Saint-Tropez, Sexygénaires or N'avoue jamais. The septuagenarian does not intend to retire and continues with his projects! So, when will we see the artist on the big screen again?
Upcoming Comedies
We will soon be seeing Thierry Lhermitte in Florian Hessique's comedy called La Tournée. The actor will play opposite Patrick Chesnais and Richard Berry. The story will introduce us to a trio made up of a declining headliner, an aspiring director and a debuting actress. They will travel the roads of France, going from theater to theater in order to present a preview of their new film. The release date has not yet been announced.
The actor will then share the bill with François Berléand and Charles Berling in another comedy called Les Talents d'Achille, directed by Ged Marlon. The story will follow Achille Potier, a playwright who found success a long time ago.
He is in a precarious situation with little hope of staging his last play due to the lack of “stars”. Only the friends with whom he started, Thierry Lhermitte, François Berléand and Charles Berling, could accept. To convince them, he announces that he has only six months to live.
After the comedy, the biopic
After that, Thierry Lhermitte will shine in De Gaulle, an ambitious two-part biopic directed by Antonin Baudry (Le Chant du Loup). The diptych will retrace the life and political commitment of Charles De Gaulle from 1940 to 1945, until his evolution towards a political career. The film will be based on De Gaulle: A certain idea of France, written by Julian Jackson.
In addition, at the beginning of 2025, Thierry Lhermitte will lend his voice to Alain Chabat's series: Astérix Le Combat des chefs, which will be broadcast on Netflix. He will lend his voice to the most famous of the Gallic druids, Panoramix!
