Damien Sargue and Cécilia Cara, soon to return!
Who doesn’t remember the iconic duo formed by Cécilia Cara and Damien Sargue between 2001 and 2003? Both were the main roles in the musical comedy “Roméo et Juliette,” and they were the couple that many French people dreamed of. However, when the adventure came to an end two years after the beginning, Damien Sargue was actually not so unhappy. Still very young at the time, the actor and singer needed to find himself in a simpler and less demanding life. To mark this new beginning, the first thing he did was to cut his hair, as he had been required to wear it long for two years.
Damien Sargue was lost
“I was sick of my hair right away. After the last of Roméo, the next day I went to see Laurent Falcon (his hairdresser) to tell him, ‘Cut my hair.’ I wanted more of myself. It was a bit liberating! You have to remember that I was twenty years old at the beginning, twenty-two at the end. At twenty-two, you are not really formed as a man yet. I needed to find myself as a man, to know who I was,” he explained in a recent interview with Gala.
After feeling like nothing but Roméo for two years, the young man needed to “find himself as a person.” However, Damien Sargue absolutely does not regret this wonderful experience. “I don’t mean to find myself again, but to simply find myself. Cut his hair, cut ties with Roméo, with this crazy adventure, and take a breath,” he emphasized. Today, more than twenty years after the musical comedy that made him famous, Damien Sargue still says he is ready to once again take on the role of Roméo.
Thanks to the experience and maturity gained in recent years, the actor who also participated in “Dancing with the Stars” in 2013 assures that he would have much less difficulty dealing with the constraints related to success. As for the hair, he would still ask to wear… a wig. “You know what? I do it without any problem. Some things are done so well now that you feel it’s natural, almost. I have no problem with that. If the role requires long hair, I’m happy to do it,” he joked.
