Page SymbolFRANCOIS ARNAUD QUOTES

Characters - The Borgias Fan Wiki
  • "I'm not going to lie, it's a bit scary" Francois in June 2010 discussing his role as Cesare.
  • "Sometimes I feel like god, five months in Hungary, I'm going to be alone" Francois in June 2010 talking about filming in Budapest.
  • “As a teen, I wasn’t very happy,” says Arnaud. “Theatre became my outlet to let everyone know I existed. After that, it’s as if I just tried to honour what theatre had done for me.”
  • “He was just like my dad,” Arnaud says. “I never thought that before I met him. But when we read together, I realized they were very similar. Francois talking about Jeremy
  • "Yeah, I did actually. There's something really dangerous about the guy, but I don't know, I felt him from the inside. I said, “That could be me.” Like, if I was in that position, I could do these things. Which is probably very scary". Talking about auditioning for Cesare Borgia
  • “Based on what I saw of myself in the first season, yes, I’ve changed Cesare" Talking about Season 2
  • "I did a lot of research for the part I was playing and the time period, not only on the Borgias but other renaissance families at the time like the Medicis. I also read works inspired by Cesare Borgia like Machiavellis "The Prince", which basically became my bible" - Francios on how he prepared for his role

Another new article about Francois:

http://arts.nationalpost.com/2012/04/11/francois-arnaud-puts-on-his-borgia-face/

“My character Cesare, you see him transition from a boy to becoming a man. That’s also where I was in my life so I could relate in many ways to the character,” Arnaud says. “Some people might find the way the character is depicted as too nice in the first season. But I think it’s more interesting to see his journey.”

In Season 2, Rodrigo Borgia has claimed the papal throne and enlists his family to seek bloody revenge on those who opposed him. But his children are at war with each other; Cesare’s rivalry with his brother Juan (David Oakes) turns into hatred and Cesare is compelled to further embrace his dark side.
