Cerermony - Cesar 2023 : Tahar Rahim, President of the 48th César Ceremony

By Mulder, 05 january 2023

The Académie des César and Canal+ have just announced that actor Tahar Rahim will preside over the 48th César Ceremony on Friday, February 24, on the stage of the Olympia.

Since his debut, Tahar Rahim entered the cinema by the big door. In 2010, for his masterful performance in Jacques Audiard's Un prophète, his first major film role, he won no less than two César awards, for Best Male Actor and Best Actor.

Since then, Tahar Rahim has led his career with finesse, moving towards rich, diverse and complex characters, and new experiences. Filmmakers in France and abroad have asked him to act in front of their cameras: Lou Ye for Love and Bruises, Jean-Jacques Annaud for Black Gold, Asghar Fahradi for The Past, Rebecca Zlotowski for Grand Central, Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache for Samba, Fatih Akhin for The Cut, or Kevin Macdonald for Guilty Pleasures, which earned him his first nomination for the Golden Globes and BAFTA in 2021.

If he shines in the cinema, Tahar Rahim also marks the small screens, in memorable series such as Panthers, The Eddy by Damien Chazelle or The Snake, a role for which he receives a new nomination at the Golden Globes in 2022 and which definitively establishes his international reputation.

We will have the pleasure of discovering him soon alongside Meryl Streep, Kit Harrington and Sienna Miller in the series Extrapolations, as well as under the direction of Ridley Scott, in the biopic Napoleon, or in the next film of the Marvel universe, Madame Web.

See you on February 24 for the 48th César Ceremony, on free-to-air, live and exclusive on Canal+.
