The reopening of cinemas, effective since Monday June 22, is a joy for moviegoers. This is particularly the case of Julie Gayet. This Saturday, June 27 on her Instagram account, the actress wanted to share her “great emotion to find a full movie theater” by posting a snapshot taken during the film preview I will die in the Carpathians, signed by the globetrotter of France 5 Antoine de Maximy. But his photo souvenir sparked an uproar.
A photo in a room “crowded” and “not even a mask”
The reason ? We see dozens of spectators posing, arms in the air and a smile in the air. Indeed, nobody wears a mask on this picture, where people do not seem to respect the health instructions related to the epidemic of coronavirus, such as the physical distance of at least one meter. What shock the followers of Julie Gayet, who poses in the foreground next to Antoine de Macimy.
“Mind-blowing this crowded room …!”, “Not even a mask! What interest to take a photo when you know the result?”, “Frankly, great anything! Great emotion to see these people glued and not masked “, can we read in particular in the comments.
Faced with these criticisms, Julie Gayet wanted to justify herself. “The photo may seem misleading … we were not stuck. Only those who had come with ‘family’ …”, she replied to a user. “The room has a capacity of 622 people and there were 260 with an empty space between each ‘social group’…”, she said to another.
François Hollande’s partner also explained that she opted for a group photo “so as not to have to take selfies with everyone” and that all precautions had been taken. “Everyone had their mask when entering and when getting up to go out. There was an obligation to wash their hands with gel at the entrance to the cinema. All the rooms are disinfected”, she assured.
