It is an honor, of course, but Julie Depardieu did not know how to apprehend it. In 2004, when she had just played Jeanne-Marie in the film Little Liliby Claude Miller, the actress – 31 years old at the time – received two awards at the 29th Cesar ceremony: one for the “best hope“, the other for the “best supporting role“… A first in the history of cinema! As she was preparing to thank the members of the jury, and the spectators seated on the seats of the Théâtre du Châtelet, she nevertheless found herself quite deprived.
“I didn’t take it. what was i noodleshe explains today in the columns of the magazine 7 Days TV. There was my father [Gérard Depardieu, NDLR] in the room, and I didn’t know it. I was in a state… If I was offered to relive that moment, I would say ‘No, please!’ I, who had never had a prize or good grades at school, was in shock. I was almost ashamed and did not know how to receive them well.” Julie Depardieu initially thought of working in a vegetable garden. She obtained a master’s degree in philosophy at the University of Nanterre and made her film debut with her father in 1994 in Colonel Chabert by Yves Angelo.
Mother of two boys – Billy, 10 years old and Alfred, 9 years old -, companion of Philippe Katerine since 2010, Julie Depardieu has less trouble rejoicing for others. In particular for his darling, rewarded in turn in 2019 for his supporting role in The Big Bath. “We live everything better when it’s the one we love who is honoredcontinues the actress. I was so happy for him, because he deserved it. And he’s so good at speeches! All we have to do is show off our Caesars because, for the moment, they are on the ground, next to the dog’s basket!“You never know, the collection could well grow. One of his sons already has a “artistic eye” and would be passionate about make-up and hairdressing. Who’s next?
