Philippe Blanchard (French pronunciation: [filip blɑ̃ʃaʁ]; born 8 December 1968), known professionally as Philippe Katerine, is a French singer-songwriter, actor, and filmmaker who began his career in 1991. Some of his popular singles include "Mon cœur balance", "Je vous emmerde", and "Louxor j'adore". At the beginning of his career, his musical style was often described as easy-listening, with bossa nova accents and texts that were often morbid or anguished and tinged with humor, all sometimes interspersed with audio collages. He also incorporated elements of rock and electronic music while remaining rooted in a quirky chanson style. In 2010, he attracted attention as an actor by playing Boris Vian in the biopic Gainsbourg, A Heroic Life, by Joann Sfar. The following year, he got top billing in the offbeat comedy, I am a No Man's Land. In 2015, he played the head of state in Gaz de France. Besides these films, he was often seen in quirky supporting parts in comedies such as La Tour 2 contrôle infernale (2016), by Éric Judor, Hibou (2016), by Ramzy Bedia, We Are Family (2016), by Gabriel Julien-Laferrière, Le Petit Spirou (2017), by Nicolas Bary, Sink or Swim (2018), by Gilles Lellouche, and The World is Yours (2018), by Romain Gavras. At the 44th César Awards, he received the César Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Sink or Swim. In 2022, he founded the artistic movement Le Mignonisme, which was represented by the mascot named Monsieur Rose. Monsieur Rose is an inflatable sculpture that has been featured in temporary exhibitions across various cities around the world. In 2024, he performed his song Nu semi-naked and painted in blue at the opening ceremony for the Paris Olympic Games.
