Sophie Marceau is on all fronts! The one who has chained projects on screen in recent years has just surprised her audience by unveiling a book called “The Underground” (Ed. Seghers). Through this work, the 56-year-old actress mixes fables, tales and poems with her pen. This Thursday, April 27, 2023, the magazine “ELLE” highlighted its news in its columns. “I first wrote for trying to explain things I didn’t understand. Afterwards, when I became famous, writing continued to accompany me, but like a small world of my own“, explained the ex-companion of Cyril Lignac to our colleagues.
One thing leading to another, Sophie Marceau also bounced back on other much more intimate subjects. Like her perception of her femininity. For her, mentalities have evolved when she talks about the current view of women on their bodies. To support his statements, the artist remembered the time of his mother. “It has been bullied a lot, forbidden, corseted, used, thrown as food for women’s bodies. Finally, it has been ours for a very short time“, analyzed the actress.

On this question, Sophie Marceau does not always agree with her daughter Juliette, the fruit of her past love affair with American producer Jim Lemley. “It is true that Sometimes my 20 year old daughter takes me back : Mom, stop judging!“, underlined the main concerned and to specify: “I don’t judge, people’s bodies speak to me! This is what Freud said in a more radical way: anatomy is destiny. The body influences fate, I’m sure“.
While her parent has always ignored “codes” of femininity, Sophie Marceau knew how to appropriate hers with philosophy: “Not pointing out any signs of femininity in me was also a way of protecting myself. Later, when I became an actress […] I learned that we had the right to feel beautiful, that we even needed it sometimes to play certain roles“. Before concluding : “The physical, I can’t say that I didn’t give a damn about it, but that’s not what I built myself on“.
