- He obtained the part of the policeman finding blood in a car in Tu es si jolie ce soir because the original actor for this role was stuck in a traffic jam meanwhile. Thanks to a lighter he had in his pocket, he gave some fire to the director's assistant who wanted to smoke a cigarette during a break and asked him if he could play this part. The assistant accepted and told him to get dressed for the role when the director asked where were the two actors supposed to play the cops.

- Once in Montmartre, on june 2007, Pierre Lefebvre told me to always have a lighter with me; even if i don't smoke because there'll always be people asking me for it. Seven years later, this was really helpful on the set of Tu es si jolie ce soir.
