Actor and singer Simon Rérolle chatted about starring in the rom-com “Greek Mothers Never Die” and new music.
“Greek Mothers Never Die,” written and directed by Rachel Suissa, will be available on Digital and On Demand on May 9, 2025, via Gravitas Ventures.
Most recently, following Greek Easter, on Monday, April 21st, Greek-American comedian Ellen Karis moderated a Question & Answer (Q&A) session with Rérolle, Suissa, and producer Eleonore Dailly, at ACM Village 7 for the movie.
Synopsis of the film
Ella dreams of becoming a singer but her Greek mother pressures her daily to take over the family business. After a sudden heart attack, her mother Despina (Rachel Suissa) returns to haunt Ella with more advice as Nick (Simon Rérolle), her childhood crush, returns.
Playing Nick in the movie
Rérolle was drawn to playing Nick due to his arc. “Nick, was an asshole in the beginning of the movie, and he realizes what is important. He went back to his own roots and his own past, and he went back to who he really is. That’s what I really liked about my character,” he explained.
“Nick stars off being a playboy, but at the end, he realizes that he is way more than that,” he said with a sweet laugh.
Lessons learned from this rom-com
On the lessons learned from this film, he reflected, “This movie taught me to never forget my roots. Nick’s character is an asshole, and it important to stay close to his roots.”
“For me, in my actual life, I am American but I am also French but I feel like both cultures are a part of me,” Rérolle noted.
“It taught me to balance both cultures at the same time, and not forget who I am for an easy way to be integrated,” he added.
Music
A few months ago, Rérolle released his music video for “Heart of Clay.”
On his music and songwriting inspirations, Rérolle said, “My passion for music came at the same time I started acting.”
“I started rapping and acting, and everything came into place, when I decided to go for an artistic lifestyle. I started writing six years ago,” he added.
