He is featured in the series “In place”, which Netflix is releasing on January 20 on its platform. Jean-Pascal Zadi (who we saw in “Simply black“, in 2020) this time interprets the role of a suburban educator who is running for president against an environmental candidate played by Marina Foïs and a left-wing candidate played by Benoît Pelvoorde.
Enough to register a new success in his career, which was not all mapped out at the start. To our colleagues from Parisian, he assures this Friday: “I am the proof that in life a lot of things can happen, even for the most lousy people, with a little determination and a little work. Really, I am starting from very very very very very far”.
And to tell an anecdote about a meeting that changed his life, during his schooling. Originally from Ifs, a village in Normandy “where there is no cinema, no showbiz”he says, he remembers one time when Elise Lucet came to talk about her job in her high school, “a bit ghetto”. He admits : “It was an electric shock for me. The fact of seeing someone on TV in Caen, I said to myself: ‘In reality, it exists'”.
Jean-Pascal Zadi pays homage to this good fairy, because, he says “She told us: ‘If you work at school, it’s possible’. She took the train, she came to Caen, to the Augustin-Fresnel high school. A message that he obviously listened to. And to conclude, protective in the face of the regular attacks on the journalist: “Élise Lucet, don’t talk too badly about her when I’m there”.
