Trivia / My Father the Hero

• The Cast Showoff: That really was Gérard Depardieu playing the piano in those three scenes.
  • In addition, unlike his character, he is a talented dancer in real life.
• What Could Have Been: Alicia Silverstone, who was 16 at the time, was considered for the role of Nicole. The role went to Katherine Heigl instead because the director felt that Katherine (who was just 14/15) would be better-looking in a thong swimsuit.
