When she was a teenager, Clémentine Célarié chose to comply with “normality”. At the time, she even thought that his rhinoplasty would be his entry ticket into the cinema, just like talent and work. In his book Forbidden words (Ed. Albin Michel), the actress reconsiders this decision fraught with meaning that she does not regret.
“I wanted to buy myself a piece of femininity to feel looked at. I bought myself a nose like a passport to be an actress. I unconsciously changed my destiny. I have become more ‘pretty’. I bought myself a normality, but it was only outsidee“, developed Clémentine Célarié in her book, whose Gala broadcasts extracts. As a teenager, the popular actress hated herself for a long time, especially because of her nose and her physique. “I found my physique to be an injustice. I felt so ugly, I had a terrible nose. I really had a rotten adolescence. It completely changed my existence“, had she already regretted in the pages of Gala.
From this culture of “perfection” and of normality, Clémentine Célarié has retained a sort of hatred against herself. At 64, the actress who recently conquered colon cancer is still imposing a “perpetual regime”. “I want to be thin and I am on a perpetual diet. On a diet all year round to feel beautiful, alive and always in the making “, commented the actress in her book.
A military lifestyle that is not necessarily easy to live with. “When I was more coated it was so annoying that it hindered my freedom. Donc I forced myself to a relentless rigor, like a pact made with myself“, she confided.
