Esteban Ocon had fun playing a cameo in French movie on Netflix, which he did for his friend, as he hopes to have more such experiences.
Ahead of the F1 2025 start, Ocon dropped a surprise by featuring in French movie Lune de miel avec ma mere (Honeymoon Crasher) on Netflix. It relates to lead character having his wedding called off and being forced to go to his honeymoon accompanied by his mother.
Ocon plays the character of the girl’s ex-boyfriend (named Damien), for whom she breaks off the wedding and re-unites with. The F1 driver makes an appearance at the onset of the movie and also a litter later. The Frenchman is shown in his Alpine gear, potentially shot during the Barcelona filming day.
Some of the Alpine crew and the 2024 F1 car make an appearance too in a positive surprise. Speaking about the feature, Ocon noted that he did it for his friend and hopes to feature in more in future. “I’m very good friends with a French actress called Michelle Larocque and she wanted to put me in her movie, in a little scene,” he said to media including RacingNews365.
“I said yes straight away because I wanted to see how it is to be in the movie industry, see how different it is to what we usually do in F1. Honestly, it was a lot of fun playing in that Netflix movie. It’s going super well at the moment, it’s number 2 in the world as well on Netflix.
“I’m super happy for everyone that has worked so hard that it’s working so well. Hopefully, this won’t be my last movie appearance because I’ve enjoyed it a lot for sure,” summed up Ocon, who has since moved on with Haas in 2025, but will feature as an Alpine driver in the upcoming F1 Movie.
