She will soon make her debut on the boards, in the theater, in the playe The Uncertainty Principle, by Simon Stephens. On this occasion, Laura Smet will find Louis-Do De Lencquesaing, who is directing the show, which is rather a good omen for the actress: he was also there when she had obtained her first role in the cinema, in the film The impatient bodies – he played the role of a doctor. Decidedly, in recent months, the daughter of Johnny Hallyday and Nathalie Baye connects the new experiences.
On the private side, Laura Met actually became the mother of a little boy baptized Léo, born on October 7, 2020 from her marriage to Raphaël Lancrey-Javal – they married civilly in December 2018 then religiously, in Cap Ferret, in June 2019 It is moreover her new life as a mother that pushed her, among other things, to get closer to the theater.

And you have to accept that an acting career is made up of ups and downs. Being a mom brought me back to basics. That’s probably why I wanted to theatre, it’s also the very essence of this profession.“
I force myself to transform these moments of stress into great joys
If she does not put her career aside, Laura Smet is ready to make some concessions for the well-being of Leo.

The only thing that matters to me is that my son is happy, and I will do everything to ensure that the dialogue is never broken between us.she continues. I learn every day from him, I try to improve myself. For example, I’m really freaked out when I leave but, since I don’t want to pass on this anxiety to her, I force myself to transform these moments of stress into great joy.“By becoming a theater actress, Laura Smet should, less and less, encounter this kind of situation.
