Blue says in a conversation with Roland Varity:
And I remember McQueen, walking around in Marseilles, which is just the epicenter of racism, of skins forced apart, and a gang of kids were hanging out, and he heard them speaking in Arabic about how they would jump him and take his money, and just when they were getting to their feet, with a few moments to spare, he said to them in Arabic: “Why you talking about me like that, you motherfuckers!” And they were laughing and calling him brother, slapping his hands, hugging, and he told me, “Dude, in another two minutes, I would have probably been sitting here with a broken jaw.” And that to me is a very French story.
Interview is coming to BadTV.
