Simon Baker: "I do not need to conquer all women"
INTERVIEW - Champion hearings with The Mentalist TV, TF1, Simon Baker on Wednesday to show "'s Love." A hilarious comedy so British in which he played a seductive love with a married woman. Meeting in Paris with the Australian gentleman.
Star of TV series as a big The Mentalist , you must get a lot of screenplays. Why did you choose it?
I was offered a lot of films, yes. The hardest part for me is to find a time to turn. So I take my vacation the Mentalist. I stopped there last Friday, and I take two and a half months. In short it is difficult to find a film whose schedule fits with mine ... while leaving me time to travel with my family. To live simply. The rest of the time I work on the series, from 9 to 10 months a year. Last year, I managed to make Margin Call, which was much darker. In the case of Marriage in English, I found the script very funny, I love British humor, all comedies like Four Weddings and a Funeral. I dreamed of making a. It was more me more attracted because it addresses the kind of very modern way. In horror movies, you can always find new ways to kill people. Reinventing the way of falling in love is much more complicated. Younger I was a fan of Preston Sturges film, he had a very dark to tell love stories. Once the film is about marriage less than what it costs to meet the true love.
At your first appearance, we immediately think of Patrick Jane, your character in The Mentalist. He is charming, well dressed, smooth talker. It is a wink?
A little wink.'s Love is a film that the public can enjoy Mentalist. It was not necessarily the case for Margin Call. So even if Guy is not necessarily inspired Patrick Jane, it has a charm that resembles him, yes.
Guy chasing a woman who is not available. What would you do in his place?
At one point in the film, my character is quite tragic. He believes that it is available and when he discovers that not, it is destroyed. But it must continue. In its place? Say that I found the right person in my life. When this is the case, you can enjoy the company of attractive young women without necessarily needing to be conquered. I meet beautiful women, smart and always fascinating. It does not mean that they should be mine (smile).
"Love lasts three years? This book interests me"
The original title of the film is I Give It A year (I give them a year). In France, Frédéric Beigbeder wrote Love lasts three years. For you it is there a date from which it is known whether a couple will last?
I think it is different for every couple. But this book you speak of interests me. The author is he a philosopher?
Rather a writer and animator ...
So a philosopher counter! I'm kidding ... I think the excitement of the early days up to three years as 30 years. The truth is that there are always ups and downs. There are moments in life when we are in the "business" of marriage rather than the romantic side. But it is constantly changing. One day we spent six months to look and earthenware dog overnight spark back and is rediscovering the completely. I am an optimist in this regard. And I think we should be able to pose challenges, even within an old couple.
As an Australian, a sense of humor british film please more than the American sense of humor?
Say that American humor is often too ... (He thinks) Too easy. The humor comes from the Australian British humor, for obvious historical reasons. As the British, Australians love to laugh about themselves, where Americans prefer to laugh at others.
"You still have two seasons of The Mentalist. Maybe three"
You told me to be on vacation the Mentalist. When will you find the set of the series?
In July. When I speak, I do not see myself doing another film in the meantime. I just want to rest.
The next season of The Mentalist, this will be the last?
I do not know. Where are you in France? A season 4? We just finished shooting Season 5, and we return with season 6 in July. So you still have at least two seasons to discover. Maybe three ... But I do say no more! (Laughs)
The extension of a series, it depends on the audience. Not?
It depends on a lot of players, if they want to continue or not. I find that things work better when you know there is an end. |

We have all been so lucky with the videos and photos of Simon lately that I also hope he is soon able to have some quiet time with his family away from the photographers. He gives so much of himself, never complaining and deserves a complete break so he can relax and come back with renewed energy for Season 6. I can just picture him in his little cabin complete with surfboard of course!  |

I'm a little surprised when I read all these interviews because I thought Simon intended to shoot the movie Breeze during this summer. Apparently this is no longer the case. But he must be very tired. Happy holidays Simon ! |

An article in "Le Parisien"
http://www.leparisien.fr/cinema....579.php
the last paragraph is interesting : Simon talks about his holidays
translation:
What do you do your holiday? A film?
No, I have nothing in my professional agenda. I'll take a break. From Australia to rest and build new buildings on my property. This is a farm in the countryside, and I built myself houses. I love it. Then I'll make a surf with old school friends, Indonesia, northern Sumatra island.
Happy holidays Simon !  |
