It’s just to put it into perspective for his American audience. I’m sure if he had only said the name of the award most people would not know wtf he was talking about

[@paulbismuth10]

Honestly i can understand how Jimmy uses it as an element of context. But he could have ask other questions about his career like his role in "intouchable" which is probably still the best grossing foreign film in the world to this day. Funny fact it was remade a few years ago for US audiences with "the Upside" where his character was interpreted by Kevin Hart. The original is way better. He also had supporting roles in the x-men franchise and Jurassic World.

[@luisgomes535]

Americans don’t know this but this man is filthy rich. It’s true that his new show Lupin is doing great in the US but he has been rich for over a decade. Omar Sy doesn’t need the us market to stay wealthy. Jimmy talks to him as if he just made it because he moved to America. He bought a 7 million dollar house in LA before Lupin. That goes to show how good of a career he has had in Europe and mainly in french cinema. One of my favourite actors of all time. I’ve seen most of his work. I understand and speak french and to appreciate his acting work it is necessary you understand what he is saying.

This dude is talented, funny, with a joyful personality, but above all he’s a VERY HUMBLE man. I had the chance to meet him at the mosque I used to go to in Los Angeles around 2013-2014, and he’s just so down to earth. After the prayer, He hung out with us and engaged in small talk for like 30 min, talking about basket ball, telling jokes and even being made fun of. Of course only few people knew he was famous and filthy rich, but I was nonetheless impressed by his genuineness and humility. And to top it off, it wasn’t a one time thing too. Since that time I gained respect for him.

Lupin is a great show mostly because he is great. I have seen a few of his movies and he is fantastic in all of them. He is hilarious in French, hopefully when his English improves, Americans would be able to enjoy his funny side. His movie intouchables was beautiful, but I made the mistake, some years later, to watch the American version and it was terrible.

I guess maybe Mr Jimmy Kimmel was trying to make him more relatable for the American audience (speculation) but this was a very shallow interview and just left me wondering why there weren't more of the types of questions he asks his other guests. Omar Sy is captivating and it would be cool to have been given more challenging and/ or personal questions, not like (how it came across to me), "Hey. You're in America now, right? So what American things do you know? Let's qualify you."

[@anibalramirez2625]

I see your point and totally relate with it, but I think mostly was to keep it simple for him due to the language barrier, I guess if Kimmel dove too deeply in to things, it would make it harder for Sy to get his point across, dragging out his spot on the show for longer than it was scheduled for

I don’t understand what you mean by insufferable, but at times, I noticed/felt that Jimmy Kimmel subtly try to undermine the actor because of the accent/cultural difference. As apposed to laughing WITH the actor, I saw it as Jimmey was laughing AT the actor, and hoping the audience would join in on the slight mockery for the sake of entertainment. Is this what you meant? If not, what do you mean by insufferable?

Also how so clearly the whole interview screamed You make it in America = You have succeeded, like NO ! Omar could’ve stayed in France and lived his life really well as an appreciated actor !
