Well, it looks like this thing’s going to be a masterpiece. Not only will it premiere at Cannes, as reported by the Muscles from Brussels himself, but apparently his acting is so good in it, that he felt compelled to declare the following:

What (director Mabrouk El Mechri) did to me, it’s like Scorsese did to De Niro years ago.

Now, I am generally an optimistic man. I believe that people are inherently noble creatures. I believe peace will someday reign supreme. I believe that the price of the iPhone will come down. But I am wrought with skepticism upon hearing those words from JC’s otherwise well-reasoned and fair-thinking gullet.

Who knows? Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe he is the second coming (of De Niro, I guess). We’ll just have to wait and see.
