With its completely absurd pitch, which revolves around the secret recipe for a shampoo that a tribe called the Dirty Hair Tribe wants to seize at the height of Pierre's age, the comedy with thriller accents by Alain Chabat is known to all. However, the feature film released in 2004 literally flopped at the box office, in addition to being stoned by the French-speaking press. Bad press that – at the time – greatly affected the director of Asterix and Obelix Mission Cleopatra, and which led him to take a break. Today, in 2024, what happened to the actors and actresses of the film?

#1 Alain Chabat

Didier, Les Nuls, Burger Quiz, La Cité of Fear, Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra,are all projects that have made Alain Chabat one of the coolest and most popular personalities in France.

Between supporting roles in Monsieur Batignole, Nos Jours Heureux and La Môme, he won the César for best supporting actor in 2005 for playing Michel Polnareff's double in Podium.

#8 Gerard Depardieu

French actor, singer, director, film, television and theatre producer, Gérard Depardieu is a key figure in French cinema. But the legend seriously darkened from 2018, the year when accusations of rape and sexual assault by several women fell. New complaints fell in 2023 and 2024, before the documentary Complément d'Enquêtes entitled The Fall of the Ogre did not reveal dark images about the actor, who was then traveling in North Korea. The case subsequently continued in court, with Depardieu accusing the production company Hikari, which produced the report on France 2, of having manipulated the images.
