Critiques:

"I am a son-in-law, but very far from the ideal one! For the first time, indeed, I won’t play the lover, but the boring husband, stuck in his routine, a true burden for his family. He doesn’t think about anything else other than his job, and becomes detestable to his own wife and child. He is very egoistic, doing nothing more than bouncing his feet on the table when coming back at night; he needs everything to follow his routine: his wine, his meal, his bike-training…all these elements make him a true pain-in-the-neck. I had a lot of fun playing this kind of ‘golden boy’ who crushes everything when he passes by." (To continue reading this interview, click on image below)
