The French comedy-film, Jean-Phillipe, stars two main important characters: Johnny Halladay and Fabrice Luchini. Fabrice, a middle-aged Johnny Hallyday fanatic, after becoming drunk and knocked out by a man disturbed by his drunk singing, wakes up from a comma into a parallel universe where Johnny Hallyday gives up his singing career due to a scooter accident. Not only is Johnny Hallyday not a star in France and rather he is a bowling alley manager, but his daughter, who was named Laura after one of Johnny Hallyday's songs, is now known as "Marion" and his room full of objects praising/admiring Johnny is now turned in a beer can collection. Fabrice eventually finds Johnny Hallyday in a bathroom in a bowling alley facility after dropping his daughter at the place. Fabrice goes through several attempts to get Johnny Hallyday back into his singing career, even separating Johnny Hallyday and his wife.

Although it seemed all hope loss, Johnny Hallyday and Fabrice managed to make Johnny successful when an opportunity arises when competitions are up for a duet with France-reknown Chris Summer. Fabrice manages to get Johnny Hallyday upstage with Chris Summer and allow Johnny Hallyday to thoroughly express his feelings in a form of a song in front of a compacted crowd in Stade de France when Chris Summer is injured by a malfunction of stage effects from Fabrice, who mistakenly activates it from a small stage-effects room. A stage employee that was trying to break into the stage-effects room after Fabrice locked it when he realized his mistake of injuring Chris Summer knocks Fabrice out into a comma.

After this coma, he wakes up in a world where not only is Johnny Hallyday famous, but Fabrice is famous too (Fabrice Luchini). The movie ends with Johnny and Fabrice singing "Rock'n'Roll Star".
