Interview Marie Hennerez (Plus belle la vie): the childbirth of Léa Nebout, claustrophobia, survival… everything on the Black Out premium

Here.fr: In the Black Out bonus, Léa is locked up in a cable car above the whole night, and in the premium revelations, she was blocked under the collapse of the gymnasium ... Your character really lives strong emotions!

Marie Hennerez: They like to put me in delicate situations.And in fact in Revelations this is where producer Sébastien Charbit told me "are you ready for your character to become a heroine?", And that's when it started to take.Because before that, Léa was in the hospital, she was doing pretty cool things to save lives, to take risks.In Revelations, it was the first time that she had a mission to accomplish.I think it liked the authors and that’s why they start it again.And I find it great as a thing to play and defend.

Between being immersed in the dark, to be blocked above the void, to have contractions while Léa does not have the possibility of contacting anyone or to move to a hospital ... TheLea nerves will really be pushed to the end in this episode.And yet, she manages to remain in control of the situation, except when she slaps Betty.How can we keep a serenity in the face of such a situation?

In fact she is a doctor, and doctors have self -control that is really very developed in relation to other humans.I looked at reports a little to really have the doctor's attitude and it is something that I am also reminded of in the direction of the game that you always have to do things in a calm, posed way.It registered a little.I didn't really look for this mastery because it is part of the character.After there are times when she must be respected because it goes beyond her, like the character of Betty who pushes her to the end in her insolence.So we are elsewhere of the catastrophic aspect where we must manage the situation.Sometimes when I have moments of panic, I think of Léa (laughs).It’s a great proof of self -merit, it’s something noble and worthy.

Precisely at the start of the episode, Jean-Paul Boher (Stéphane Hénon) calls Léa to ask her for help because a woman on the street has just made a discomfort.Léa gives him very precise advice.In real life, does it happen to ask you what Léa would do in a complicated situation?

Perhaps not so consciously, but I think that when you work a character in such a long way, because I've been in the series for five years, we are all imbued with our characters.My nature will tint the character and vice versa.So yes, there are places where I will not consciously think about it but it sweats a little.

When you learned Léa's pregnancy, imagine that you would have a rather classic childbirth or you doubt that production would make you live a rather sporty childbirth?

I didn’t think about it at all, but it didn't surprise me because the deliveries are always incredible.I never worry about knowing what he will go, I leave myself completely carried by what the authors write.And then there is so much a quantity of work that we are progressing little by little, step by step.Afterwards, when I read that, I found it very funny.There is this whole mystical side.In addition my name is Marie, so I don't know if it played.With the beef, and the donkey ... I found it very funny.I loved shooting this, it lasted overnight.We started at 7 p.m. and we finished at 6 a.m., it was fabulous to play.

The scene of childbirth is very strong, it feels like you really feel the pain and all the emotions that a woman can experience at that time, how are you prepared?

I looked a lot Baby Boom (laughs).We learn a lot with Baby Boom, it's a great show.It was improv.Me it fascinates me childbirth.I have a deep admiration for the human species and the power of women.So it's something I love, that interests me.It was easy to do, there is a pleasure, an interest that speaks to me.I have not yet given birth but it was very enjoyable for me to embark on this exercise.We can afford lots of things, insults.This is an authorization to say a little "shit" in the world.To be in its integrity.Without respecting things.And I find it very interesting in the act of childbirth.

"This responsibility gives strength"

If you happened to you the same events, be locked up in full vacuum, in the dark ... would you react with the same philosophy as your character?

Much less !It would be very complicated.I am quite claustrophobic.Not long ago I found myself stuck in an elevator ... I think you have to take it upon yourself to get out of that.It’s a mode of survival too.I think I would be able to be strong, but after having the doctor's composure ... I'm not sure I was there.I think I should be well accompanied.It all depends on the people with whom we are.There, in history, she is responsible for the three teenagers.This responsibility gives strength.

You ended up with three teenagers, Florian Lesieur (Noé Ruiz), Kjel Bennett (Bilal Bailly), Horya Benabet (Betty Solano) ... I imagine that it had to be quite funny as filming.What is your best memory ?

We lived a lot of different sets, especially when we find ourselves in the tractor with the staked straw.We were really starting to create a link between ourselves.We had five nights of filming, and the nights end really in the early morning.At the beginning, I did not understand everything they said because they have their own language.And gradually, we quickly got along well because they are adorable and talented people.I laughed a lot with them.And in this tractor, it was really the moment when we started to tie a link.We sang, we fell asleep.We were in super beautiful sets and we were good.We told ourselves that we had an incredible chance to be there, even if this filming was one of the most trying, it was fantastic.

This is what I felt in the tractor sequence.You say that you all sing together and precisely, there is this scene where we see you sing.We see that this is when there is a real connection between you.This is the scene where everything changes.

Absolutely, because it is just after Betty participates for the first time actively and for the good of all by finding this tractor.This is what will allow us to bind us.In addition my contractions are intensifying, they start to take care of me.It was super nice, we had a lot of fun with this song.And I love at the end when they take up "where she is going to die", it's very funny.It was indeed this moment when the complicity was really born between us.

Another scene is striking, it is the one where you end up with Mme Vitreuil (Anne Canovas) in this house with all the high society in Marseille.Léa decides to slam the door while she is about to give birth, disgusted with the attitude of these people.Would you have had the courage, in the same situation as Léa, to do the same thing as it?

It’s interesting as a question.The circumstances are so strong that she is complicated for me to imagine as Marie.I am not as politicized as Léa.But there it is beyond politics, we are just in a cliché, in a caricature and we can not remain insensitive to this caricature of selfishness.But I don't think I would have had Léa's courage.Already, if I had been Léa, I would not have gone in the great outdoors to accompany teens at nine months of pregnancy.So from there, there is not much that I would have lived in its place (laughs).In any case, I will have closed my eyes.I might have said something, not so vehemently.Or I would have retained myself and I would have come out after childbirth.But I think I would have stayed warm, you shouldn't lie (laughs).
