A future giant of French comedy
This little boy in the photo later became Louis de Funès, one of the most famous actors in French cinema . Born in 1914 as Louis Germain David de Funès de Galarza, he starred in more than 150 films and left his mark on entire generations.
His style was unique:
- unique facial expressions
- incredible energy
- legendary tempers in cinema
- an exceptional sense of comic rhythm
His films are still broadcast on television today and continue to make all generations laugh. He remains an essential figure in French comedy .
Proof that success can come late
What's so inspiring about his story is that he didn't become famous at a young age. Success came gradually, after many years of hard work and small roles.
This just goes to show that you can find your path at any point in your life.
