Description
You Changed My Life tells the extraordinary true story of Abdel Sellou, a charismatic Algerian con-man whose friendship with a disabled French aristocrat inspired the record-breaking hit film, The Intouchables. Now, for the first time, Sellou shares his remarkable life story, from his childhood spent stealing candy to his unexpected employment as a companion for a quadriplegic.
With humor, style and humility, Sellou recounts his past, revealing details he has previously evaded or shrugged off in interviews and documentaries. His idiosyncratic voice shines through in this memoir, as captured by Philippe Pozzo di Borgo's touching preface.
This candid and charming book offers a unique glimpse into the life of a man who has inspired millions with his fictional reincarnation, Driss, played to critical acclaim by French comedian Omar Sy. You Changed My Life is a fascinating and moving read that reveals the real Abdel Sellou behind the screen.
