At 50, Vanessa Paradis probably has nothing left to prove. In the very young artistic community, which earned him many criticisms, Samuel Benchetrit’s companion experienced a meteoric rise and still arouses as much interest today. However, if she had accepted a specific role a few years ago, perhaps she could have been considered even more than she already is.
Indeed, invited in “Nice gesture” on France 2 this Sunday, April 23, the one who has already had to face clumsy fans made an astonishing revelation. Revelation made after the insistence of the program host: Pierre Lescure. “I saw that you had often said ‘no’ to projects, and not just any…”, he wanted to remind his guest. “It’s quite tricky for actresses if I tell you the names…”then warns Vanessa Paradis in the face of an imperturbable Pierre Lescure: “Well tell me one!”

The revelation of Vanessa Paradis on… Amélie Poulain
“Bah, the biggest is Amélie Poulain…”, then reveals the mother of Lily-Rose Depp. Something to reassure the former president of the Cannes Film Festival: “I was hoping you were going to say that one”. But once her announcement was made, the actress of 50 expressed her embarrassment. “But it’s a little tricky to say that. In any case, the roles belong to those who interpreted them. And Audrey Tautou is absolutely divine in this role”she said before continuing: “And obviously I wanted to work with Jean-Pierre Jeunet but I had just had my daughter and I was going to make my fourth album for which I was starting to write songs… I wanted there to be three of us “.
Indeed, at the time, Vanessa Paradis and the rest of her family formed a trio. “My son was not yet born”she recalls before justifying her refusal for Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s film: “I wanted us to be together. I had a little one who was 6 months old, I didn’t want to be separated. It was a reason for life. And I said ‘but I would never regret’ “. A revelation that no one expected.
