"La meilleure copine": After the Announcement of the Return of the Series Un gars, une fille, Alexandra Lamy (Chouchou) Reflects on the Success that Changed Her Life

What memory does Alexandra Lamy have of her role as Chouchou in the cult series "Un gars, une fille"? A few days after the announcement of a reboot, the actress answered this question.

It’s official, more than twenty years after the end of the humorous series, Un gars, une fille will make its grand return on RMC Life. However, there will be no Jean Dujardin in the role of Loulou, and Alexandra Lamy will not reprise her role as Chouchou. Loulou will be played by Gillian Mussano, while the name of the actress who will take on the role of Chouchou has not yet been revealed. It remains to be seen if these new faces will see their lives change as much as Alexandra Lamy's did.

Alexandra Lamy Owes Her "Popular Image" to Un gars, une fille

In an interview with journalists from Télé-Loisirs, the mother of Chloé Jouannet (Mon héroïne) reflected on the role that propelled her career. She recalls that overnight, she became an integral part of the daily lives of millions of French people: "It’s Un gars, une fille that gave us this popular image, me and Jean, she said. We entered homes."

Un gars, une fille

For the record, for four years, from 1999 to 2003, every evening on France 2, between 5 and 6 million viewers followed the mundane daily life of these two lovers. Like Scènes de ménage on M6, this couple in their thirties discovered day after day that life together is not always rosy.

Chouchou, a Role That Sticks to Her Skin

In this same nostalgic interview, Alexandra Lamy confided that since she played in Un gars, une fille, many French people consider her to be: "the best friend, the girl next door." On his part, Jean Dujardin shared his thoughts on the brand new Loulou: "I met him, we exchanged. He is very nice. His videos are in the spirit of the original series, he has the references" before adding: "I wish him the best. I think it’s great that Un gars, une fille is having spin-offs._"

The reboot of the series Un gars, une fille is set to air soon on RMC Life.
