Isabelle Adjani and Daniel Day-Lewis: This enigmatic first word left at her hotel, she tells of their crazy meeting

In 1989, Isabelle Adjani then won the third César of her career for her role as Camille Claudel. She decides on stage to read a passage from The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, on the stage of the ceremony. A position which had given rise to a very great repercussion, as recalled this Monday, November 7, Patrick Cohen while the actress was the guest of It’s up to you. But it was above all the origin of her meeting with Daniel Day Lewis, an illustrious actor and father of her youngest son, Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis – she is also the mother of Barnabé, the eldest born in 1979 while Isabelle Adjani was in couple with the one who will lead her beautifully in Camille Claudel, Bruno Nuytten.

As rarely, Isabelle Adjani therefore agreed to come back to her meeting with the excellent actor of There will be blood and Gangs of New York, to recite nobody else but them. “It’s true that he was close, in any case closer than me to Salman Rushdieshe reported on the set of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine’s show. He obviously wanted to meet meit’s true, seeing me on the stage of the Caesars, reading these few verses.“When the actress traveled to London to promote Camille Claudel, a note was waiting for her at her hotel. Isabelle Adjani, starring in Masquerade of Nicolas Bedos, still remembers it word for word. “When I went to London for the promotion of Camille Claudel I had received a message in my hotel which said ‘Welcome to this miserable country, Daniel Day Lewis. And There you go“, she confided.
