Dear Prudence
she's out to play

I suppose if I'd thought about it, I would have wondered what had happened to the gorgeously barmy Eric Cantona. Footballer, philosopher, thespian and all round French hunk, he seemed to have a new career as an actor beckoning, but I haven't seen him around at all. Maybe I have just missed him, and he's been acting away like a maniac but anyway I am very pleased to see him back, if only in these commercials for Partouche betting.
It's all a load of blokeish medieval nonsense, but it's done with a certain amout élan and éclat, which are French words for style and bazazz.
Why, as a Frenchman, he is exhorting the sadly trashed Englishmen, kicked out of Euro 2008, to pick themselves up and at least bet on the bloody thing, I really don't know. But he does it with real passion and verve, he really knows how to knock out a stirring speech and I genuinely felt that it was almost my patriotic duty to go out there and take a punt on Euro 2008. The ads are well made, and I even went to see the full length version that is on the Partouche website, but I reckon without the magic of Eric they would not have amounted to much.
So I ask again, what has our Eric been doing on the acting front? Why do we not see more of him? He's a real heavy hitter, and he deserves more than commercials for what sounds like a Frog bookie. The last time I saw him in a movie he was the French ambassador in some Elizabethan costume drama, and he was bloody great. Wake up casting agents, there's a great talent out there, lets see a bit more of it.
