Just telling a story. That's cinema. It's not silent, black and white. It's a simple story that's well made.

I recycle. I have a house in the south of France and I have a small garden. My name is Dujardin - 'from the garden.' I grow carrots, peppers, strawberries, green beans, and things for salads, but there are lots of wild boars all around and they steal the food.

I can't speak American dog very well. There was a lot of improvisation with Uggie - like when I put the dog on the table or sometimes I follow him, sometimes he follows me. I had a lot of treats in my pocket. We worked with Omar Von Muller, the dog trainer. It was very easy because it was a big movie.

In many cases for an actor it's a comfortable position to be in. But it's harder to fail as a director.
Jean Dujardin
Image
In France, I have lots of opportunities. Maybe now I'll be offered films in America. It's the encounter, with the director and the story that counts.
Jean Dujardin
Image
I don't want everyone to like me, and I don't choose who likes me. You have to give them the choice, give them the option.
Jean Dujardin
Image
I'm happiest on set because I'm not myself. I'm someone else. The moustache, the dinner jacket. It's not me. You're always this sort of double, and it's liberating. Imagine being stuck with yourself... all those doubts.

I like simple things. I like being in my family in the South and playing petanque.

I watched Gene Kelly for his smile, for his energy. Vittorio Gassman for his movement. Clark Gable for his mustache. And I watched Lassie who was happy as a dog.

I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.
