Laetitia Casta is playing at The crusade, the new film directed by Louis Garrel, her husband. The couple, who welcomed their first child last March, came to present this joint work on the set of Day-to-day, December 13. And if the actors seem to have the perfect love, they sometimes disagree, as in any household. Curious to know more about their relationship, Yann Barthès asked the 43-year-old actress about the way she worked on this film, under the orders of her spouse.
“I do not arrive on the set telling myself that he is my husband. For me, he is a director and I arrive as an actress, she replied, demonstrating great professionalism. I have my score, he is there, he has his film in his head and then it is made “. It was then that the presenter asked her if she would not like to go behind the camera to highlight Louis Garrel’s acting gifts and thus reverse the roles. “Make a movie with him? I proposed to him and he snubbed me… It was a short film “, she revealed, apparently still disappointed by this refusal. “The role was too close to me, I didn’t know how to play it, what to add to the character”, retorted Louis Garrel, trying to defend himself. Oumy’s dad made up for it by praising his wife.
Invited to define Laetitia Casta, the son of Philippe Garrel redoubled his efforts to flatter his beautiful:“Laetitia Casta, actress and powerful woman. Multi-talented artist. She is lucky to never be conventional or scholar. This is in part due to her real human qualities. Her deep empathy for people and her generosity nourish the characters that ‘she embodies and gives them a human force that all actors hope to find in their work “.
For her part, Laetitia Casta lacked a little inspiration but made a revelation about the ex-companion of Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi. “Louis Garrel: actor director. Passionate, fascinating. Passionate. Never where you expect him and always where we don’t expect him. Irresistibly funny and whose greatest quality is that he never sulks”.
