Catherine Deneuve is one of the icons of French cinema. On screen, the star has distinguished herself in many registers to the delight of the public. The artist has more than 130 films to his credit… That’s to say! And she has every intention of surprising us again. Passionate about the world of the 7ᵉ art, the ex-wife of David Bailey has never stopped shooting.
“Even pregnant, I shot: a participation for the film of [Jean-Pierre] Melville, A cop, when I was waiting for Chiara. In your career, there are no periods, no comebacks… I know. Many actresses, including the greatest, experienced an eclipse after 35 years and returned to their fifties. Danielle Darrieux, to take someone I infinitely admire, experienced that parenthesis. Me no”, analyzed Catherine Deneuve in the columns of Vanity Fair.“I’ve always done everything at the same time, movies, raising my children… This continuous thread blurs the perception of time. We talk about films and, spontaneously, I say to myself: ‘Oh that, that must have been twenty years ago’. But no, that was forty years ago! My notion of time vis-à-vis the past is no longer realistic […]”.
“We were brought up in the countryside…”
Besides her talent, her beauty still inspires. Usually discreet about this, the happy mother of two children has yet agreed to reveal her secret to slow the effects of time on her skin.
“We were raised in the countryside and were always careful of the sun. My mother told us that it was not very good for the skin so I protected my face a lot. I’m pretty happy, because after so many years, my skin is still in good shape”, confessed Catherine Deneuve for Into The Gloss in 2017. Thus, the actress applies daily sun protection (SPF 30 minimum) to her face and neck. A ritual to adopt now!
