00:00I've been offered a few, or sometimes it's musical comedies, but they're not completely musical,

00:20they're musical from time to time.

00:22I was lucky enough to sing a few songs and dance to a few in the film Les Frères Poireaux,

00:30but it wasn't completely the musical.

00:33The musical I dream of is to train for a year to dance dances I don't know how to dance yet,

00:41to sing incredible songs while telling a sumptuous story.

00:48That's what I dream of.

00:51I can't wait to get started, but it's not too late.

01:06I'm not an expert in artificial intelligence to know exactly what it is,

01:11but I know that medicine is something extraordinary and that it can save lives.

01:16In this case, I find it fabulous.

01:21However, in art, I find it totally horrible.

01:26In addition, there are a lot of people who use it to distort our images, our lyrics, our songs.

01:33But I don't think it kills.

01:37I don't even want to believe it.

01:40I don't believe it.

01:43For the live show, artificial intelligence doesn't exist.

01:47We'll always have that.

01:49And for the cinema, I don't know.

01:54We're at the Festival Lumière.

01:56This year's winner is Isabelle Huppert.

01:58She tried to create a fake Isabelle Huppert.

02:01What she can do on a screen,

02:03what she can do to make us feel her play, her powerful emotions,

02:10I can't believe that artificial intelligence can equal that.

02:20I see it quite well.

02:22I'm going to start shooting a film next week.

02:27It's the next film of Jérôme Commander, with François Damiens and Laurent Lafitte.

02:32I can't wait to start.

02:39I'm also working on my album.

02:42When it's done, I'll have to release it and shoot it.

02:50All of this was accomplished a few years ago.
