Vincent Cassel Recreates ‘La Haine’ in Surprise Cameo at Jul’s Stade de France Show

The pop-up linked a classic film role to a rap mega-show to show how a pop culture callback can electrify a stadium.

Overview

  • Cassel opened Jul’s second Stade de France concert before more than 100,000 fans on Saturday, in a cameo kept secret until he pulled off an alien mask.
  • He echoed his famed La Haine mirror scene by shouting, “Le J, c’est à moi que tu parles?”, then copied Jul’s three-letter hand sign.
  • Minutes later he crossed the pit on a scooter to reach the central stage, prompting the rapper to hail him as a legend.
  • The appearance came just after Cassel’s Cannes red-carpet for Asghar Farhadi’s competition film Histoires parallèles with a star-studded cast.
  • Jul’s back-to-back stadium shows set a two-night attendance record and followed a week of guest spots and the release of his new album Oubliez-moi.
