'Oh my Gad!' French comedian Gad Elmaleh on his American dream

[@kaorisaeba5643]

bravo gad ! on est super fier de toi !

[@mistermiify]

He became famous in France, he spent 2/3 of his life in France, made most of his humorist career in France, his jokes are all about french culture. And yet he was born in morocco so... he is both french and moroccan, and it doesn't really matter.

[@laurecrp8751]

mistermiify no he lived at least 10years in France, he still has his house in the same little town than me

[@LionEntity]

He's Moroccan but holds a French nationality, and he's very funny we love him here! It's so cool that he's doing shows in English for the first time in the USA. He's gonna get famous real quick!

[@LionEntity]

Kim Boom Joong he is Moroccan but went to France later, lived there and got a french passport.

[@LionEntity]

Kim Boom Joong By nationality, yeah...you didn't know that?

[@Lee_Marion]

He has 3 passports, so 3 nationalities : Moroccan, French and Canadian.

[@Lee_Marion]

Kim Boom Joong Because Moroccan and Québec people (Canada) also speak French... and he also speaks Arabic and English, just for you to know. (I'm French and I speak 4 languages... you seem Korean and speak English...)

[@Lee_Marion]

Kim Boom Joong I've never said he isn't French, so please learn how to read. Thank you in advance.

[@sellahfml1482]

He is born in Morocco.. His parents are morocans. He went to live in France when he was young.. And he lived in Canada also some years.. So he speak arabic, french and english.. !!! Peace ✌🏽️✌🏽

[@949surferdude]

how does the Hebrew thing come into play?

[@katiearbuckle9017]

Okay he got me with the Emoji joke. And how he and Eddie see Humor is how I see humor.

[@gawhar1984]

Its funny how everyone is trying to prove he is from a certain country and not the other - He is a human like any other, where he is born shouldn't be used to define him. We need to stop labelling people because of their race, ethnicity or religion. Each person has their unique personality and that's the only way we can know who they truly are.

[@psalm1162]

Gawhar Ghazanfar it is a fact that he is french and moroccan (and aslo probably canadian). However I find it unfair to mention his french nationality and not his moroccan one. is it something that he should be ashamed of? or it is because Morocco is a poor north african country full of muslims so it may harm his reputation. it is very odd because in his show in french he always talks about his moroccan origin.

[@lejebli]

hi is not french , he is morrocan first and canadien after .

[@moiseman]

He has the French nationality and Morroco isn't mentioned because it's irrelevant, he studied acting and became a comedian in France, that's where he made a name for himself. By the way, people who try to take pride in someone's else work just because they share the same nationality are pathetic losers.

[@edinburghknight]

Gawhar Ghazanfar come along live in France as a foreigner and then only then say so!!!

[@TMBTM]

So we need to stop "labelling people" but at the same time we have to be proud about our roots and of who we are. This society is getting difficult to follow... Can't we just be who we are and everything is fine? I'm french, I love Gad Gad Elmaleh, he his Moroccan and french, that's who he is. It's not a label.

[@JazzyJ96771]

When he spoke about when the woman he was texting said 'I'm down" "okay so you're depressed" LMAO!

[@ahmedouajib1228]

if someone doesn't speak a language very well, it doesn't mean he doesn't speak another one! the more lgs you speak, the more souls you have! keep it up and stay the same

[@ChingmayAnais]

For me, Gad, when he does it in French, he is way funnier than Jerry Seinfeld.

[@joanfordham1305]

I so agree with this but I want MORE Gad.I only have Chou Chou as a DVD and his stuff on you tube but next time I am in France I will buy more .By the way American is so difficult I have never heard the expression “ I’m down “to mean anything other than depressed !His command of English in such a short time is amazing !

[@alsenybah6368]

Peu importe d'où il vient.. On kiffe quand c'est bon. j'adore Gad.

[@Ae-il5mj]

Moroccan comedian ** ❤️

[@hugodecroix294]

his english is great props to him

[@Heat1976]

[@Heat1976]

Why are you calling it a terrorist passport?

[@abdelarmstr5173]

And he doesn't use it

[@lejebli]

C'est pas mon humoriste préféré en France, mais il en a une bonne paire de tenter cette aventure, et la foule rit ! Respect et bravo !

[@desjamay]

Excited, have tix to see him in a couple of weeks, can't wait!!!!

[@dakvaylikendhaya1474]

Gad is born in marocco and raised in in Casablanca, he himself said that and on top of that he speaks Arabic darija very genuinely, I'm Algeria and I like Gad very much, culturally there is no difference between gad and any other maghribi beit from marocco or Algeria, this is how I experience the closeness of origins. Full stop.

[@joanfordham1305]

I love Gad Elmaleh,he is SO talented.Chou Chou made me laugh and cry .He has an amazing talent for gestures .He is superb .J’adore Gad Elmaleh je voudrais obtenir tous ses films.En regardant Chou chou je ris,je pleure je voudrais le dire que mes portes lui sont grandes ouvertes. Je voudrais l’adopter en tant que troisième fils .Il est vraiment fantastique .Peu importe la langue {mais je ne parle pas Arabe }Bravo,bravissimo

[@leonardelmaleh7569]

your fame in morocco helped me pass a speedtrap while visiting some years ago :I told them .the cops, you were ben 'ami.....

[@mohamedfaris2278]

[@pengfeitan8450]

What did the lady say in french at 10:40? Qu’est que elle dit a francaise a 10:40? Merci

[@HaydenNK3]

I know I'm 10 months later but I'm still gonna reply to you, hoping you still want the answer and that it will "help" you ^^ She said "La mayonnaise n'a pas pris" In English it can be translated by "The mayonnaise didn't take (on)" (Well it's a litteral translation) That basically means that you didn't really get along with the girl (or the boy).

[@bennitob8]

ديما داير العز، Moroccan humour ! Bravo Gad pour ta fierté marocaine

[@ishdelville]

We are proud of him in France

[@noureddine309]

never thought he can be this funny. well done Gad. ....

[@moorediamond8358]

His style of comedy is 100% Moroccan, he is inspired by Moroccan comedy, that it makes him special.

[@solitaire73]

Un très grand comédien et humain..

[@alsenybah6368]

solitaire 73 c'est tout ce qui importe!

[@solitaire73]

Petite erratum...un grand humoriste...

[@joanfordham1305]

[@arwatravel431]

[@Altair.1187]

[@csx3180]

chakor viper no he's actually moroccan with french citizenship he studied on canada that's about it

[@ellominados1]

U call him Canadian just because he studied few years in Canada ? would u call me Canadian too if i study there too ? dumb logic.

[@djounachoc6325]

:D xD i love it! Je t'adore Gad!

[@azimmerali]

Oh boy! Il y a une différence entre le sens de l'humour des pays.

[@sydsay1722]

And handsom marvellous Angel and so on....😇😇😇😇😢😢😢😢😉😉😉

[@kencan2243]

Mdrrr j’adore son show “oh my gad”

[@BenDogCerberus]

As a french Guy i was always sceptical on his humour, thinking that the characters was funny but not the writing. It's the case for me in all Of his early stand up shows but watching him trying something new may perahps change my point Of vue

[@gionini1]

GAD is coming to Australia , he might like it and stay with us!xx

[@joanfordham1305]

gionini1 I so wish he would come to England ! OK it is cold,wet,snobbish and the food is generally bad or overpriced or both but he would be such a help in the dark days of Le maudit Brexit

[@michaeltondi8528]

Man, she is gorgous and her voice.

[@jukkabebejukkabebe7990]

Quel est le problème ? C est énervant à toujours vouloir mettre les gens dans des boites. Il est très drôle, même en anglais . Bravo. Superbe observateur.

[@jukkabebejukkabebe7990]

Quel rebondissement. Well done

[@wbtnssa4175]

He call himself moroccan so its funny the way some people try to prove he is only french. Just look at his spectacles or even just in his instagrame you ll find very quickly that he consider himself moroccan.

[@caradepau0638]

Looking forward to seeing him in California

[@NNAATTYY1974]

the interviewer is gorgeous

[@roben2791]

comedians in English are the ones who use puns

[@farhoudfarhoud9636]

what's the name of this journalist please ?

[@didousofiane3543]

i'm Algerian But i tell That Gad ________________ is moroccan Not french

[@Ipiutiminella]

La bi-nationalité pour toi ça existe pas? Pourquoi tu veux le réduire à une seule identité, laisse lui sa complexité.

[@didousofiane3543]

c Vrai Mon frere ms defois j aime Pas que les Francais disent un Francais juste pour les gens qui ont un seccus mais dès que une personne fait des choses pas Bien opppp elle sera ____ un algerien ou marocain etc et pas un français malgré sa nationalité !!!!! par exempl Samir nasseri ___ et Benzema etc etc

[@lejebli]

ça existe certes mais là on parle d'autre chose . quand Yannik Noah gagnait les coupes , tous les français l'appelaient le tennisman français . et quand il a commencé à perdre ils ont commencé à l'appeler le franco-camerounais !! J'ai entendu ça de mes propres oreilles .

[@goupildubocage2018]

wo don't mind if he is french or moroccan: so, he is moroccan but studied in Morocco in a french school, with a french culture really present in this country, because of french protectorate until 1956 i think. Then he's gone in Canada, Québec, where french is spoken; since he is living in France, he collects french girls friend, and have some french babies! and there is a jjewish culture in France, and also in showbusiness. we can say he is international, isn't he? he plays with Arab and quebec accent and lives in France from a long time . I think, like a lot of binationals, it's better to be french or morrocan according to opportunities!!!

[@RG-hq7fr]

you mean, moroccan comedian

[@donandres2886]

He is moroccan, french and canadian.

[@sat3italia939]

yes, he is french and moroccan

[@yane499]

bah c'est uniquement parce que la réputation de la France aux US est très positive.

[@lejebli]

no , morrocan and CANADIAN !!

[@lejebli]

où as-tu vu ça ? dans ses sketchs il dit toujours qu'il est marocain et il n'a jamais mentionné UNE fois qu'il était français .

[@brahimzine9880]

Moroccan comedian

[@moukhlisayoub4140]

MOROCCAN comedian Gad Elmaleh, if it was an attack so he will be Moroccan,

[@grimjowjaggerjak]

He is jewish i think

[@MuhammadUsman-mi4jk]

chakor viper what does religion have to do with nationality? He is a Moroccan Jew and btw, Morocco used to have more Jews than all the countries in the Middle East and Africa before the creation of Israel.

[@hamzaelmouden5515]

morocco ♡♥

[@DoDo-Nia]

+chakor viper wtf ♡♥

[@princesssarah7933]

He's Moroccan not French . He born in Morocco that's make him Moroccan except nationalities , you can have many buy your real homeland is where you were born in.

[@princesssarah7933]

+Rollinne Nope , He just have a french nationality but he still Moroccan cause he born and live in Morocco. big difference

[@splashpragency4552]

French he is for sure! On the top of being Moroccan and Canadian! That is the way it is, he says it himself!

[@princesssarah7933]

+Rollinne But But he's a Moroccan before having a Canadian or french nationality

[@Neyrus]

+Princess Sarah Ask him, and I'm pretty sure he'd tell he's french, but have morrocan origins I'm haitian but I was born in USA. At age of 1 my family moved in Switzerland and I've lived all my life there and I'm still in switzerland. If you ask me "where are you from ?" I definitely tell Swiss ! Although I have USA nationalty, and that Haiti is my origin country.

[@princesssarah7933]

+Neyrus He was living in Morocco , He just have a french nationality and in many videos he say "We're Moroccan" that's a proof enough , We're speaking French, and his mum moved to France and he didn't say "I'm a french"

[@Gulliverush]

[@aminchelihi5354]

Sadly, he can't run into CK anymore, I wish he comes back :)

[@lune3703]

I do not know why he says he is French .before he became French he was and is Moroccan . In Morocco he says he is Moroccan and this is the truth because he is born and raised in Morocco but once he goes to any country he will say he is French and mentionne Morocco only when he wants to make fun of Moroccan .we as Moroccan we love him but we do not like this way of acting

[@electrocreative4303]

He is Moroccan

[@faridwahid6418]

frencsch.morrocan...he is what he accept to be.not important.he is loved bei all...

[@alexanderthegreat5928]

Gad ELmaleh is MOROCCAN.

[@newdefsys]

yeah. no guns in France. tell that to the Charlie Hebdo staff, or the victims of the Bataclan massacre.

[@ConkersBFD]

Yeah you could also tell the Boston marathon victims or all the university/schools shooting victims how safe they actually were

[@loickdurand6462]

bien dit ;)

[@quentin3994]

+newdefsys Guns for everyone isn't a solution against terrorism...

[@abxx797]

newdefsys Typical idiotic comment. Why not ask whole world what they think about the us even kids can buy guns from the store don't give me explanation this and that don't care if store wants dollars he don't care even if ur ninja turtle sell the guns. As if in the us there are no killings xD at least in Europe we don't have kids getting killed by bullets if u really need to say that.

[@949surferdude]

Gad she's hot!

[@gagasabdul]

he's not french, he's Moroccan ... a huge difference though

[@Lee_Marion]

He's Moroccan AND French. He owns both nationalities, respects both countries and cultures and loves them both the same way.

[@gagasabdul]

the french nationality is easy to get once u have invested enough money on the french lands, he was there since a young age, but he's originally Moroccan from casablanca.

[@mathieu_vermeeren]

He is definitely french, born in Moroco and from Moroco, but he is COMPLETELY FRENCH (nationalitie, culture & cie).

[@gagasabdul]

euh non

[@mathieu_vermeeren]

Moroccan Wiccan He was French-maroccan. You're french when you respect and enjoy french cultures and values, and that's definetly what he does. He's french. More french than some people who are disrepectful and hateful immigrants towards France and must be kicked out. He is the example of how great an immigrant can be in France when he just respect France and his culture : he is french.

[@sydsay1722]

You are smart and

[@melissasidiali2115]

he's from morocco

[@elmehdielidrissi7852]

He is Moroccan he isn't french

[@Maajda]

Moroccan comedian first of all then you can call him other stuffs!

[@PoLoToL33]

C'est peut être que le succès commençait à baisser en France ...

[@wbtnssa4175]

I wonder why the terrorists they call them algerian morrocan etc cause they are very often born in french and so they are more french than gad is😂 My gad this France is so hypocrite.

[@houdasoltan9029]

C est un juif marocain ne a Casablanca et alors c est un commedian comme les autres et c est tout il a fait un effort pour Parler anglais

[@pepettemachintruc5995]

Il se prend un chouille au sérieux dans cette interview mais il se débrouille pas trop mal en anglais, pour un Français, faut avouer...

[@nouhanajimi912]

Pépette Machintruc he was born in morrocco so he can go with the flow !

[@Poussindesdomtom]

Il s'en sort très bien je trouve. Je ne dirais pas qu'il se prend au sérieux dans cet interview, je dirais qu'en général Gal Elmaleh a toujours dégagé cette impression d'assurance un peu partout. Par contre ce qui m'agace c'est qu'il essaie trop de faire "Américain" dans la façon de parler. L'accent c'est quelque chose qui vient naturellement avec le tps lorsqu'on vit sur place. Faut pas chercher à forcer car ça peut vite devenir moche...

[@RedStylo]

He's not FRENCH
