Don’t hate Vincent Cassel for having it all: If it wasn’t enough that he’s one of the biggest matinee idols in France, he’s also married to Monica Bellucci. It’s fitting then, that someone of his stature would play a criminal like Jacques Mesrine in the new filmic diptych Mesrine: Killer Instinct and Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 — though the murderous Mesrine did a lot of bad things in 1970s France, he somehow became one of the country’s most popular celebrities. The charming and candid Cassel sat down with Movieline this month to discuss his interpretation of Mesrine, his own love of celebrity, and the pair of English-language films he has on the way: Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan , and David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method.
