After being satisfied with supporting roles for a long time, Mélanie Thierry finally sees her talent highlighted in films where she plays the title role. Proof of this is that the 40-year-old actress is currently starring in the film “La Vraie Famille” by director Fabien Gorgeart. “For a long time, I was the eternal number two, the one who is not chosen in the final stretch of a casting. I wondered what was wrong. I was 20 years old, and no doubt I only had my freshness, my prettiness, to offer. Maturity feeds you things to tell. And recently, I finally have the impression that I take my place“explained the actress in the columns of Télérama, proud to be finally consecrated.
If the pretty blonde can devote herself fully to her passion which is cinema, and “choose well” her roles without having to worry about the rest, it is largely thanks to her husband, the singer Raphaël. “I’ll be honest: I’m lucky to live with a husband who, financially, allows me not to work to work, and encourages me to decline projects that do not make me vibrate […] In time, I may be tracing the right drawing.” she admits honestly.
Mélanie Thierry and Raphaël together for 20 years
In a relationship since 2002, Mélanie Thierry and Raphaël are today the happy parents of two boys named Aliocha (born in 2008) and Roman (born in 2013). If they are usually rather discreet, we remember during the first confinement, that they had literally made the buzz when the actress had not hesitated to “scream” at her companion who was then in full Facebook live, because she had to “cook” and he was in the middle of the kitchen. A fun cleaning scene that proves that they are ultimately a bit like everyone else.
Asked about her couple and their secret of longevity, Mélanie Thierry had mentioned their love story last September: “I spent as much time with him as with my parents. […] We supported each other, and we are still happy together. We laugh and our daily life is without heaviness. I need to have admiration for the people I love. I admire my boyfriend and my children“.
