Dernière Heure   Jan.  13, 1996











Roy Dupuis was voted 2nd in ‘The 10 Best looking Men in Quebec’ poll (Roch Voisine came 1st in this instance )



“Instinct takes over …”

Who didn’t shiver hearing Ovila whisper in Emilie’s ear, “Anything you want, my beautiful mist”? And which of us didn’t sigh seeing Michel Gagné, L’Express reporter, burning with passion for Stephanie? Roy Dupuis captured the hearts of quite a number of us. According to Fabienne Larouche, co-writer of Scoop, “Roy is the Marlon Brando of Quebec; he doesn’t even have to speak to have a huge screen presence.” In fact, he is so sensual that when Mme Larouche was writing erotic scenes featuring Roy, she had to cut half of them, so inspired was she.

Rated second in our poll, Roy has what it takes: the intense gaze, the hungry mouth and the rebellious hairstyle. Not forgetting his body, the body of an athlete honed by years of hockey, swimming and volleyball. Beneath the bad-boy appearance, our sex-symbol hides a lot of discipline and determination.

“My cello lessons helped to make me a good actor because they demanded lots of concentration and discipline. But when I act, instinct takes over . I add my eyes and my physique to the character. I give a little of myself every time.”
After a very disciplined childhood, Roy needed to let himself go wild, become worldly wise, exploit his animal side. But today he likes to keep himself in check.

“I want to take care of the child in me. When you are a child you are at ease with yourself, you have no worries; I want to get back to that sort of thing.”

An extremist, he’s not able to do things by half, even party games, which he plays seriously. On the other hand, he believes we were put on earth to have fun. And what is his greatest pleasure?

“Making love – really. And making love when in love, that’s the best fun of all.”

The last of the romantics ….

Does he think he’s good looking?

“I admit I have the look of a lady-killer, which is flattering, but I don’t seek out this image. Nor did I choose my face. I have never thought of myself as being really good looking. I have charisma, but that, along with looks, wears out. I think that it’s essential to learn to like yourself as much as you can in order to like other people better. I like to have a good time, and I like people. Actually I love life.
