1. – Gérard Depardieu, Astérix et Obélix: Au service de Sa Majesté, France-Hungary-Italy-Spain-Italy, 2011. Panic in Paris! The great Depardieu thought three Asterixian outings were enough for him – even if he didn’t need Obélix’s fat suit anymore. Desperate calls were made to the hot Jean Dujardin, the funny Demaison (a great idea), Kad Merad, Jean Reno (lousy ideas) and, playing safe, box-office king Dany Boon. He stayed aboard as the Viking leader Têtedepiaf because no one could substitute Depardieu – except Depardieu.
