French comedian extraordinaire Guillaume Gallienne has a sizeable Japanese fan base, which gratifies him most heartily.
"I feel like the Japanese get me and vice versa — and at one time, I thought I'd even make my home here," the 42-year-old performer/filmmaker said in excellent English during an interview with The Japan Times.
Gallienne acquired his English skill in his early teens as a pupil at an English boarding school, and his understanding of the Japanese temperament from numerous visits over the years.
