In the right place, at the right time. Jamel Debbouze posted a video worthy of a real short film, Thursday, May 1, with the message: “This city is a film!“. The 49 -year -old actor begins by filming a man busy shining a fish on the spot with his fishing rod at the foot of a bridge, on the quays of Paris, in front of dozens of curious people. With the Parisian summer weather, the place was particularly occupied in recent days.

“What do you think you caught?”he asks him. The fisherman, who recognized him, explains to him that “It’s a catfish”while asking him “An autograph after”. “I love what you do”, said the fisherman, who will prove to be the scientist Bill François, specialist in fish.

“I do a study on these fish. A My opinion is at least 2m10 “, he explains to Jamel Debbouze, impressed, who punctuates his report by “wow“. He ends up bringing the beast back to the bank, while explaining to a worried lady he uses “Special hooks”which do not hurt the fish.

But the sequence plan does not stop there: the scientist requests a passer -by for him to go down … in the water to take the saliva of the fish. He does not hesitate to remove his shoes to go to the Seine and catch the animal through the mouth.

A piece of bravery always captured by Jamel Debbouze, who descends on the quays to film more closely, crossing “troubadours”, Who play the tambourine, but also from Parisians who came to have a drink on the quays, who do not come back. “It’s incredible, we see fishing, we meet you”smiles one of them. “Paname, it’s crazy, it’s incredible”laughs the humorist.

“In general we give them names. If he has no name yet, we give him your name!”he said to Jamel Debbouze. The analyzes have shown that the catfish was 2m17 and that it was indeed a new fish, which is therefore called “Jamel”, explained Bill François on Instagram.
