my new boyfriend

Voici mon nouveau copain, Guillaume.

Ha, I wish. I got a message last night from a friend about the première of M. Canet's new film "Espion(s)" at the Pathé Bellecour, at which said actor would be present. Super excited, I bought tickets right after getting out of class this morning and arrived at the theater an hour early. A benefit to living in France is that people are definitely not as celebrity crazy, and people were relatively calm during the screening.

The film wasn't great (I would even go so far as to say it wasn't good) but Guillaume was super sympa, as they say...answering every question fully and with an evident passion for his work.

He also spent quite a bit of time joking around, and was certainly the most entertaining of the panelists (which also included his leading lady and director). For example:

Q: Why did you decide to do this project among the many you are being offered?
A: Well, I had a great first meeting with the director. We got a along really well, smoked some weed...(he was kidding, obviously)

Q: What is it like kissing (your leading lady)?
A: I had no problem with it. And I invite you to come down here and try it.

Sigh. How dreamy.
