“Making this bonus in eighteen days is a big challenge”, say Stéphane Hénon and Marie Hennerez

This Tuesday evening, Léa Nebout and Jean-Paul Boher will try to find each other. Marie Hennerez and Stéphane Hénon, their interpreters, were in turn gathered this Sunday in Charente-Maritime for the preview screening of Black out, the premium of More beautiful life broadcast this Tuesday on France 3, in front of 700 fans. As a couple on screen, the two headliners share with 20 minutes behind the scenes of the filming of this special episode and say more about the continuation of their adventures together.

What was your biggest challenge on the set of this bounty?

Stephane Henon : The pileup was a big scene to set up and shoot. It was quite complicated to do this scene. Otherwise, the big challenge is that of the director who has to make this bonus in eighteen days. That is really a big challenge. We managed to do it so it’s just amazing.

Marie hennerez : The barn scene was a challenge. There is also the cable car scene. We got stuck in that cabin one day and one night, four hours straight at a time, non-stop. It was really, really long. We took a lot of ourselves.

As actors, do you approach the work around the prime in a different way from everyday life?

Marie hennerez : In terms of the game, it’s pretty much the same except that there are slightly higher stakes. Finally, as there is a lot of technique, we didn’t have that much time for the game. There was such a demand for technical means that it went very quickly.

Marie, were you rather happy or sad when you found out that you were giving birth during this bonus and that you were therefore no longer going to play a pregnant woman?

Stephane Henon : She’s been wearing it for twelve months at some point, if we want to stay in reality … [rires]

Marie hennerez : I was lucky because I didn’t have to wear a big belly in the summer in the middle of the dungeon. I didn’t shoot that much and on top of that, it was often in the studio so it was good. But I’m very happy to have taken it off because I still had a whale silhouette, it was a bit imposing. To go to the bathroom, it was not practical [rires]. It weighs a little but it is above all impressive, it sticks. I liked playing a pregnant woman, but everything in its time.

Léa Nebout is in a relationship with Jean-Paul Boher but we must not forget that she is a lesbian. Is this an aspect that will be exploited subsequently?

Marie hennerez : It intrigued me that the authors put her in such a heteronormous couple. We both did not expect to have a child. Afterwards, as we shot a scene with Angélique [son ex-copine] where the three of us had our hands on my stomach, I thought it was going to continue in that direction. The fact that this is not the case, that she does not come back, that we do not know what will happen, I admit that it made me a little funny at the time. I also lost a whole community of female fans. Now there are only men who comment on my posts whereas before I only had women. Afterwards, I also understand because it was the only lesbian performance. They can hear that we love people but politically, in the representation, it is not very cool to live as a lesbian woman. Me, it amuses me, I find this modern character so I hope that it will be treated again. In any case, some authors want it.

“More beautiful life” often sticks with current events and sometimes predicts the future. The blackout in all of Marseille, do you believe it?

Stephane Henon : I hope not ! I think that’s enough, you have to stop at some point [sourire]. We must be united and that is what the bonus represents. Let’s try to get out of it, with a little kindness towards each other. We must try not to fall into chaos at all costs. Quite a few pillars are there. All these scenes in the Mistral where we all meet represent the series well and I find that quite pretty.

Before the bounty, your relationship is not in good shape since you are arguing. Will the bounty change anything in the relationship of your characters?

Marie hennerez : Ah yes, that’s for sure. Maybe we’ll meet again, I’m not saying that.

Stephane Henon : What is certain is that I look for it a lot in the prime.

Marie hennerez : And I let myself be looked for [rires] !
