Omar Sy: “The Tirailleurs deserved the Patrouille de France much more than Tom Cruise”

We hear his laughter from afar, this Tuesday, December 13, at Studio Gabriel (Paris VIII). Omar Sy has just recorded “Vivement dimanche” there with Michel Drucker. Outside, fans are waiting for him, frozen in the cold. He goes from one box to another, salutes, and arrives with his dog Tato, whose name he will soon explain to us. The actor of “Tirailleurs”, in theaters this Wednesday, January 4, plays a Senegalese soldier sent with his son to Verdun in 1917. A tribute to an unknown black generation who fought for France in indifference, before falling in the dustbin of history.
