"Lupin" star Omar Sy said no one at a Paris Metro station recognized him while he was putting up a poster for the hit Netflix thriller. In fact, one person even declined to help Sy when the actor asked for help.
Sy, who is one of the most well-known movie stars in France, opened up about getting ignored by commuters at a subway station, near the famous Louvre Museum.
"There is a category of person in France, people who have specific jobs, but who we never stop to consider," Sy said. "People will just pass by you without seeing you."
Sy previously shared an Instagram clip of the experience in January to mark the release of the first part of the critically-acclaimed thriller.
In the minute-long IGTV video, the actor is seen dressed in dark clothes and wearing a black facemask as he climbs onto a bench at the station platform to place a "Lupin" poster on the wall.
Sy is surrounded by commuters who briefly look at the actor from time to time without saying anything. Only one person approaches Sy and helps him out in the video.
While Sy going unrecognized at the Paris station might have been unexpected for the actor, much of his "Lupin" character's success in the show depends on not getting noticed by law enforcement, antagonists, and former lovers.
In the first part of the series, released on Netflix in January, Assane dresses up as a food delivery person, a member of the cleaning crew at the Louvre Museum, and an IT technician in various episodes as he carries out elaborate plans to clear his father's name.
