Actor Maxime Bouttier who made his Hollywood debut with Ticket to Paradise wants to cherish the opportunity and make the optimum use of it. The rom-com is helmed with the essence of Bali and Indonesian culture. He will be seen alongside George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
“With the film, I am kind of taking Indonesia out to the world in a rom-com element. Usually, we have seen it in more of a documentary way. Now, it is more of a bigger than life thing, with a mix of Bali. Bali has a really strong culture and background. It is such an important thing for me to portray because I’m not portraying myself as an actor, but I’m also portraying it like a whole culture, the actor said in an interview”
“Everything has been happening, it’s been crazy. People need some good laughs, because (lately) it has been real,” he says, adding, “Lately, the movies have been pretty depressing as well. They have been heavy, drama, action, a lot of action, a lot of gore. I love those movies too, but I think having a rom-com back in the mix here is good,” he added.
The Indonesian actor is hoping that the upcoming feature will deliver the audience a good vibe which will stay with them for a longer time.
“I like going with the flow as I have never really liked planning things out. I do have plans, but in this type of job, you just have to kind of take everything as it goes, because it just happens. Since this is my first movie, how do I go from here? I think going from here is the interesting part, which is literally going to LA,” he averred.
He goes on to explain that, “I have been working in Indonesia and in Jakarta. So I don’t know if that would be different, how that would be. It will be a new experience for me, and my learning curve. So I’m just gonna learn as I go and see where it takes me. As an actor, I just have to kind of wing it,” the actor concluded.
