You Saved My Life
tells the extraordinary true story of the charming Algerian con-man whose friendship with a disabled French aristocrat inspired the record-breaking hit film,
The Intouchables
(the American remake starring Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston coming in 2018).
Sellou's fictional reincarnation, Driss, played to critical acclaim by French comedian Omar Sy in the movie
Les Intouchables
, captured the hearts of millions. Already a bestseller in France and Germany,
You Changed My Life
shows us the real man behind Sy's edgy charm. The book takes us from his childhood spent stealing candy from the local grocery store, to his career as a pickpocket and scam artist, to his unexpected employment as a companion for a quadriplegic.
Sellou has never before divulged the details of his past. In many interviews and documentaries, he has evaded or shrugged off the question of his childhood and his stay in prison, until now. He tells his story with a stunning amount of talent, with humor, style, and-though he denies that he has any-humility.
Sellou's idiosyncratic and candidly charming voice is magnificently captured in this memoir, a fact to which his friend Philippe Pozzo di Borgo testifies in his touching preface for the book.
