If filming tends to take place in a decent way in modern cinema, since the actors often have hooked atoms, things sometimes turn sour. This was the case between Christian Clavier and Michael Youn, who failed to find chemistry on and off the set. A situation on which the former “Morning Live” poured out without filter.
Although he made his debut on radio and television, Michael Youn quickly directed his creativity towards cinema, both as an actor and a producer. Over the years, the native of Suresnes has been able to shoot with some big names in cinema, including Christian Clavier, who needs no introduction. But with the former Splendid, things quickly turned sour.
Michael Youn honest about his struggles with Christian Clavier
Gathered for the film “Rendez-vous chez les Malawas”, which did not really mark the history of cinema, the two men were quickly in the grip of serious tensions. Guest of “TV Mag” in 2021, the sidekick of Vincent Desagnat delivered with bitterness on what he considers to be “a missed meeting”.

At 71, Christian Clavier’s message for the French: “You are…”
I had a really difficult shoot with someone I really like and am a fan of, called Christian Clavier. I’ve been a fan since my earliest childhood, but we didn’t hang on humanely. So. I’m not blaming him, I’m just saying that we didn’t hang on humanely. I don’t know what happened, we were two opposite magnets, it repelled each other a little.
Suddenly, the shoot was… It was in South Africa, it was 56 degrees, we were all a little lost, we all went a little crazy, and the relationship was extremely tense, extremely disagreeable.
It was too bad because I was going to the party with him, and I found myself in the bathroom yelling at myself. It was my most difficult filming experience. That’s a shame. It really is a missed date. It was also called “Rendez-vous chez les Malawas”, and it’s a missed rendezvous.
A great regret: this is what will remain of the shooting of this film for Michael Youn. Let’s hope that the two men can put their differences aside if a new joint shoot arises, in order to forget this failed experience, and to build memories that are much more positive and beneficial!
