When Elsa Vigoureux went to his home to write the pages of this work, she was particularly struck by one of the rooms in his home: his office. A place “large, bright” located “in the corridor, on the left”. “It feels like we're in a small living museum, we look everywhere without daring to touch anything“, she wrote.
“Behind Omar Sy's work table, there is the 'Nemo' armchair from the Lupin series, large, wide and black, which represents a mask in the shape of a face. On the black shelves, the books of Maurice Leblanc, the inventor of'Arsène Lupin, stand upright. The golden plaque of Doctor Knock is enthroned high up, against a wall, in a sort of snub to reality. Bakary's knife is placed discreetly on a ledge, like a worn-out remnant that will soon be by rust a memory of fiction, as much as a real piece of history”, she specifies.
A piece in her image
Many winks to her career in the 7th art… But not only that. We can also find clues to her passions. “In the back of the office, two football jerseys are hung under glass on the black brick wall, above the bar: Pelé's, signed of his hand, and that of the French team flanked of two stars, with the ticket for the France-Croatia match attached under the window“, she reveals in the autobiography.
In his office, Omar Sy also highlights his family, with “black and white photos of Hélène and the children”. “On the mantelpiece are six glass bottles of Coca-Cola arranged in a line, all personalized with the names of the family members, in this order: Omar, Selly, Sabah, Tidiane, Alijah, Hélène”, can we éalso read.
