Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Elmaleh grew up in Casablanca's Jewish community; Coco blends Moroccan-French and Ashkenazi traditions into one messy celebration.
The character originated in Elmaleh's 1999 one-man show 'La Vie Normale'—he waited ten years to film it because he feared typecasting.
