Ripert Reflects on Bourdain’s Early Years in Tony Biopic Exclusive
In an exclusive interview, Eric Ripert discusses Anthony Bourdain’s portrayal in the biopic Tony, noting the film centers on a 19-year-old Bourdain with artistic liberties and touches on his past heroin use; Ripert, who knew a very different, more confident man later in life, praises Dominic Sessa’s credible performance and describes his cameo as a turning-point moment that frames Bourdain’s evolution over time.
