Almost no one recognizes him. And yet he is an international star. To promote “Lupine, in the shadow of Arsene“currently number one series on Netflix, the actor Omar Sy stuck himself a giant poster of his series in the Parisian metro.
His performance was filmed. Look. If some of the travelers who cross his path have doubts, very few really recognize it.
Omar Sy makes himself invisible like Arsène Lupine
We see but we don’t look : that’s kind of the moral of this story. Like Arsène Lupine who takes on other identities, plays characters and knows how to make himself invisible in the crowd, Omar Sy manages to go unnoticed while his face is well known. Even when he asks a female traveler to help him, even when he takes off his mask, few people recognize him. And yet, he sticks the poster of his own film in which he himself is pictured.
Our society is full of “invisible”
For his poster collage, Omar Sy dressed like all those who stick advertisements in the metro, those that we meet but do not look at. Beyond the funny performance, this action by Omar Sy raises the question of the human relationship, of our look at others. Internet users are not mistaken and he salutes the performance of the actor.
