La Maison’s Lambert Wilson Discusses the Interdependence of Ledu and Foster
Veteran actor Lambert Wilson, widely recognized for his role in The Matrix franchise, articulates that the characters Vincent Ledu and Perle Foster are inseparable. He discussed their interconnectedness in a recent interview:
“A monster with two heads in a way. They cannot do without the other. And at the same time, there’s a love-hate thing. I take it for granted. She is totally indispensable in my life.”
Amira Casar, another seasoned performer, shared her perspective on this Apple TV+ original:
“I feel like he’s my creator in a way. Because he actually very kindly reminds me that he took me out of the gutter. And shook me up when I was in a fish and chips shop. My family came from a fish and chips shop.”
“You owe me everything,”joked Lambert Wilson during the conversation. Casar emphasized the critical role her character plays in Ledu’s world within the relentless environment of La Maison:
“So, I think I came from a very humble background. Was allowed into this magic box, as a muse first, as a model. And then with time, as a businesswoman, butler, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, friend, almost wife but not quite.”
However, Casar indicated that her character requires liberation from the dominant influence of Vincent Ledu. She elaborated:
“At some point, when I see that we’re on the edge, we’re on the verge of disaster, because the muse only has a certain time. And also, for a designer, the talent only has a certain amount of time. So, it’s stagnating. We’re at a point when it starts stagnating.”
Casar highlighted that societal change is a central theme in La Maison. The series delves into how modern fashion differs from the past:
“Today’s world is about recycling, bringing new fashion ideas in. So this is also something that’s very particular to this series. You don’t see this in other fashion series, I think.”
The first two episodes of La Maison debuted on Apple TV+ on September 20, with new episodes released every Friday until November 15.
