Hi Juney !!
To answer to your message of June 10th
What I meant was that he did not at all the same voice when he speaks French and normally! That's it! it was weird because the sound was very different. I guess it must be the same for everyone when we speak a foreign language! Anyway it was lovely
What I wanted to say it is that he had not at all the same voice in French and when he speaks normally! It made strange because the sound was very different. I suppose that it must be the similar for everybody when we speak a foreign language! In any case it was charming !!!
Excuse me if my english is not perfect !
Very friendly Juney  |

Sweetevy, is The Mentalist dubbed into French or do you have sub-titles? I'm sure he sounds great in whatever language. |

Simon is dubbed into French by a French actor who has not experienced a very pleasant voice that is somewhat similar to that of Simon (musical and sweet)
For my part I watch the episodes in vo and sub-titled to lose nothing of Simon, I prefer it's more natural.
But in May after the (too brief) meeting with Simon, were released the first 2 episodes of season 4, and I confess that it was much funnier in French. I even laughed, what had not arrived at me in English version. When we do not practice the English language very well, I think we lose the subtleties. 
Regarding the coming of Le grand Prix de Diane à Chantilly with Simon, I never watch horse racing, it is very famous in France. For once I will not only look but I think I'll bet, maybe Simon will bring me luck  |

On Longines FB page (thanks to lenacr - http://www.facebook.com/Longines ), it says that Simon will "probably arrive at 13:00 at the race track in Chantilly"
@ElleryMaddocks
"#SimonBaker will present the Mademoiselle Diane for best dressed lady @Longines #PrixdeDiane tomorrow"
Reply to 'Will Simon also be one of the judges?' - "We will let you know tomorrow morning… We are pretty sure Simon will be though! Confirmation tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow morning @ElleryMaddocks, @MlleAnastasiaN & @audreyleighton are exclusively interviewing #SimonBaker! Follow here live..." |

I'm told this is an interview with Simon but I can't view it, I think it can only be viewed in France. Perhaps one of our French members can tell us if Simon said anything interesting:

French Article: http://www.leparisien.fr/sports....528.php
Rough translation (GoogleTranslate):
While Eric Woerth, deputy mayor of Chantilly, arrived at 13:15, anonymously, on the racetrack through the village Longines, Simon Baker made a sensational debut thirty minutes earlier by the front door of the Hippodrome. Driving a Jaguar convertible, the hero of the series "The Mentalist" was greeted by a host of photographers and an impressive security service.
Having played along for the official photos, he then joined the private area for lunch with the leading figures in France Galop and Longines. While a large crowd was waiting for the fillies in the Prix de Diane Round presentation, Simon Baker was all smiles. After greeting Nelson Monfort, the journalist of France Televisions, he did not hesitate to reach out to the public, taking pleasure in dialogue with the punters and shaking many hands. "I love racing and I am delighted to be present, especially as the sun is here," said the Australian actor, while exhibiting a lottery ticket in his right hand. On this ticket (loser), you could read a trio formula unit: 3-7-9, for a bet of € 75. Before giving the trophies to the winners of the Prix de Diane, Simon Baker acknowledged that he had come Three days on the Hippodrome in locating the Condes(???). Then the new ambassador of Longines announced he was working on a draft feature film to be shot in France which should be on screens next year.
I believe this movie project in France was confirmed in the video interview above, but I'm not sure if 2013 is when its being filmed or when its due to be released (which would probably mean filming this year!) |
