‧‧‧ One of 323Luc Besson was very uncertain about which actor to cast in the main role.
He proposed the role to Christopher Lambert (with whom he worked in his previous movie), had a meeting with Mickey Rourke and even was suggested that he himself should take the role, since he had such affinity with the character. It was not only until weeks before filming that someone suggested the name of Jean-Marc Barr.
Listen, we’re not supposed to piss either, but it doesn’t stop you from carrying ‘it’ on board.

The Big Blue Le Grand Bleu is a 1988 film by Luc Besson and stars Rosanna Arquette as Johana Baker, Jean-Marc Barr as Jacques Mayol, Jean Reno as Enzo Molinari, Paul Shenar as Dr. Laurence, Sergio Castellitto as Novelli, Jean Bouise as Uncle Louis.
While the film is inspired in the lives of Jacques Mayol and Enzo Maiorca (who were alive at the time of the film’s release, unlike the characters presented in it) and many aspects of the story are fictional, one of the real divers’ fate was strangely predicted in the movie.
