Zitat des Tages von Tahar Rahim:
If I don't love my character, I can't do it.
I recall the first time my agent told me to wear clothes specifically chosen for me, I would try and find excuses not to do it.
Some kids go walking in the mountains, but I just went to the cinema. So when I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, even though this wasn't normal for Arab kids or anyone in the town, they were sort of expecting it and were very supportive.
I sometimes feel that racism is getting worse.
I don't spend much time on Twitter. I joined because I found it funny.
With 'Eagle of the Ninth,' every shot was extremely planned and organized. The director was like, 'Do this!' And I say, 'How was it?' and he says, 'Good.' It was very odd. I would never know where he was headed, or even if he was shooting me at a close-up or from a distance.
At the end of the day, I remain a country boy inside.
In my town, and especially in my area, there were people from everywhere: Algerians, Senegalese, French people, Asians, all kinds of immigrants and natives, and everyone circulated.
Movies don't have borders.
I'm an actor, full stop. Not an Arab actor. Not an actor of Algerian origin. Just an actor.
