Jérémy Ferrari’s Debut Film Features Nicolas Sarkozy Invite?
Jérémy Ferrari’s first film, where he plays the hidden son of Muammar Gaddafi, sparked a question at a recent screening: was former French President Nicolas Sarkozy invited? The query arose during a discussion on RTL.fr on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, surrounding the film’s premiere.
The film is already generating buzz, with one reviewer noting it’s an experience “like no other” and a “very successful” comedy, according to Nice-Matin. Ferrari also recently discussed the challenging process of casting Eric Judor for the project, revealing Judor questioned his sanity during the collaboration. “He tells me I’m crazy,” Ferrari shared in an interview with Télé 7 Jours.
The cast also had some fun discussing hypothetical scenarios, like being stranded in the desert with various comedy actors. Diverto reported on a playful exchange about which co-stars would be the most challenging to be stuck with.
The project comes as Sarkozy is currently on trial in France over allegations of receiving illegal campaign financing from Gaddafi, as reported by RFI and Al Jazeera. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison. The case initially surfaced in 2011 with reports of Gaddafi’s financial support for Sarkozy’s 2007 election campaign.
Laura Felpin and Eric Judor joined Ferrari at the film’s premiere, promising plenty of laughter for audiences, as noted by Yahoo Actualités. The film is poised to be a significant release in the French comedy landscape.
