who plays the french guy on talladega nights
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby Bobby persuades Dennit Racing to sponsor an additional team car and arranges to have his best friend, Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly), on his team. Bobby and Naughton succeed throughout competitions but are soon introduced to their new teammate, openly gay French Formula One rival Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen). In a bar, Jean tries to force Ricky into saying "I love crepes." Ricky refuses and Girard breaks Ricky's arm as Ricky wanted him to. Girard soon outperforms both Bobby and Naughton to become Dennit Racing's latest success story.
