With "Le nombril du monde", Michel Boujenah realized an actor’s dream

Michel FIELD invited Michel BOUJENAH on the eve of the release of the film "The navel of the world" by Ariel ZEITOUN, in which he plays Bajou, an obese man ready to do anything to succeed socially. Michel BOUJENAH explains that falling into such a role is unexpected for an actor: "It is true that we actors, we think we are the navel of the world... When you’re 15 and you dream of being an actor, you say to yourself one day I’ll play characters where I will transform...". He confides that he used the mythology of the great roles to interpret his character: "The belly of Bajou, it is like the nose of Cyrano".
