In the family of artists, there are singers who become actors like Benjamin Biolay, who may have pushed the song at the wedding of Julie Gayet and François Hollande, comedians who try their hand at singing like a been able to do it Gérard Depardieu and there is the actress with the musical culture of “sh*t” according to her own words: Marina Foïs. The latter, soon to appear in the film Freewheeling with Benjamin Voisin, was invited with her partner on the show Popopop presented by Antoine de Caunes on France Inter. The opportunity to learn more about this facet of the actress.
Who says music says idol or favorite singer. Except that Marina Foïs does not have one. So she simply dropped the song and confessed that she and the music made two, unlike others: “When I was a child, I did eight years of piano, and really the piano teacher said at the end to my parents ‘She has to stop. She has no talent, she has no ear, nothing'”. If this unsympathetic observation marked the future actress, this lack of interest has a completely different family explanation. Much less funny this time .
“There is a psychoanalytical story behind all this, my grandmother, the crazy family…began the mother of Lazare, 17 years old and Georges, 13 years old before continuing. Music was forbidden at my grandmother’se. Because when she was 16, she had an appointment at the Salle Pleyel to see a concert with her beloved brother, who never arrived for the simple reason that he died that day.” This unexpected loss, which she herself experienced, Marina Foïs’ grandmother did not take care of it in music, quite the contrary.
“She, stamped as she is, instead of curing that pain, she banned music. So I think everything was very complicated. I haven’t listened to it for years. I was saying : ‘No, I don’t like music.'” Marina Foïs finally opened up to the song after a remark from Benjamin Biolay that she did not take well at the time: “We talk about that and he says to me: ‘It sucks, it’s a pose, it’s a character you gave yourself. Stop saying that and you will see that you will listen to it’. And actually, that pissed me off a bit. So now I listen to it more but I’m not a big music lover“. It’s always better than nothing!
