After animation, comedy, drama, Virginie Efira adds a new string to her bow: mistress of ceremonies! At 44, the Belgian-French actress will indeed occupy this role at the next Cannes Film Festival, which will take place from May 17 to 28. An important and prestigious role, during the opening and closing ceremony, which will undoubtedly bring back some memories…
Indeed, you may not remember this, but Niels Schneider’s companion started her career as a television presenter. Face of many Belgian shows, she then arrived in France with The New Star, quickly abandoned to join Canal+. And this passage on the 4 had not been very conclusive either, since she had joined the world of cinema at the first opportunity.
A turn that has rather smiled on him: four of his films have now been presented at Cannes, including Benedetta for which was named at the last Cesar ceremony. Before that, we had been able to see her in Shepresented in 2016, Sybilin 2019 with Adèle Exarchopoulos and Gaspard Ulliel, as well as in The Big Bathout of competition but huge success at screening.
Accustomed to the famous steps of the Croisette, she therefore comes regularly and is always distinguished by her looks and her dresses. She should then feel totally at ease when the Festival starts next May!
