"A little frustration"

Last year Michel Jonasz released his first album for 8 years.

But the 73-year-old singer didn't start with music.

"Before singing, I took drama lessons in a youth center at Porte de Vanves with a man called Guy Taillade", he recalls.

"I started with that."

The artist is obviously very happy with his success in the song, even if he would have liked to do a little more cinema.

"I admit that I have a little frustration with that, I would have liked to play more," he explains.

"I have always dreamed of doing these two activities, which are not so far apart."

In the theater or in the cinema, it is comedy that attracts him.

“A lot of times when I see the roles of Dustin Hoffman, I tell myself that I wanted to play them. I would have loved to play Tootsie,” he exclaims.

"I would love to play a piece by Feydeau too, it looks very enjoyable to me to play."

Comedy, "child's play"

What Michel Jonasz particularly appreciates when he plays a role in the theater or cinema is the feeling of reconnecting with his childhood.

“One day, I read an interview with Marcello Mastroianni where he said 'I cannot become an adult, otherwise I could not do this job anymore'. Well I have this thing too,” explains- he does.

He remembers that as a child, his favorite gift was being given a set, which allowed him to transform into a cowboy, Indian or Zorro.

"To play a role, for me, it is child's play. Except that a child does not need someone else to play a character," he says.

"In the cinema, I depend on someone who will think about me, I depend on a role, a scenario, etc. That's the difference. But I like it."
