“The truth is surely somewhere inside me”an enigmatic phrase uttered by Fanny Legoff, a renowned and admired biologist whom Nolwenn Leroy agreed to play for her first major role on television. The winner of the second season of the talent show “Star Academy” in 2002, performer of Broken or even My angelafter having made an appearance in an episode of “Capitaine Marleau”, decided to embark on a new career. Tailor-made for the singer since the six-episode police mini-series Broceliande, broadcast from September 16 on TF1, was built around her. Fanny Legoff returns to the place of her childhood in Brocéliande, 20 years after leaving. At the time, her best friend had disappeared. The same scenario is repeated 20 years later. She receives a package containing a billhook covered in dried blood…
This offer to play in this series came, according to Nolwenn Leroy, at the right time, the artist feeling at a crossroads. “In life, everything is a question of timing, she said.
“Music is my whole life, but I also had this dream of becoming an actress.”

The planets having aligned, the actress confides that she let herself be seduced by the scenario and “by the many characters who all hide a secret within this forest, this marvelous setting that is the forest of Brocéliande”.
A woman of character, she likes to take on new challenges and get out of her comfort zone.I think I needed it,” she confides. “I just hope that the audience enjoys the show as much as we enjoyed making it, because honestly, it was a pure pleasure.” Nolwenn Leroy naturally wishes to continue on this new path, “continue to do both in the long term because it’s true that the two are complementary. My job and that of an actress.”
In any case, one thing is certain, both for her and for us, is that he “There will be a before and an after Broceliande. “Even in my way of approaching writing, my texts, I think I have gained a lot of confidence, even if it seems strange after 20 years of experience to say that!” the very young actress finally admitted.
