Trivia Director Mathieu Vadepied met actor Omar Sy during the shoot of The Intouchables (2011), where he was the director of photography. Sy was attached to star in Father & Soldier (2022) for years during development, until he became too old to play the role of the son, and thought about just producing and not starring. He eventually took up the part of the father. See more »
