Merde! The Artist's Jean Dujardin was in a French boyband

Oh, look! It's Jean Dujardin, Golden Globe winner and star of Oscar-frontrunner The Artist, wearing a tight orange t-shirt and singing on top of a mountain with a fat guy! I hear that's how Clooney got started.
That's not particularly embarrassing in itself, but... well, this video is. There's no way around it: Jean Dujardin - the man tipped for Oscar success next month with the most critically-acclaimed film of the year - is cavorting around on a mountaintop in a bright orange t-shirt, claiming his name is "Axel" and grinding with his overweight singing partner in a jacuzzi.
This won't come as much of a surprise to our Parisian readers (hello, both of you!), nor will the fact that Dujardin has a history in character comedy in both movies and TV. In fact, the more I read up on him, the more I'm convinced he's the French Sacha Baron Cohen: an immensely talented, charismatic guy with a great chin, who just likes to dick around given half the chance. I can relate to a chap like that.
Here's a trailer for Dujardin's premiere comedy vehicle, pre-Hollywood fame: a surf dude parody called 'Brice de Nice'. This would appear to be his 'Ali G Indahouse', but that can't be confirmed at present time.
He even performed the soundtrack himself. Maybe he's actually the French Dennis Waterman.
