In full promotion of this promising cinematographic project, Guillaume Canet was guest of Julien Sellier and Stéphane Boudsocq in the show RTL Good evening, this Wednesday September 13, 2023. The opportunity for the 50-year-old actor to discuss his fight against ecology and his children’s vision on this subject. “They grow up and evolve in a world where we talk about it all the time, so they see that there is something shit going on!” he said. Marion Cotillard’s husband then added: “And I also think that children have a particular sensitivity, everything we tell them freaks them out. So today, seeing a guy throw his cigarette butt in the street, well they yell at him!”.
Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard at the heart of a fight for ecology
The actor then explained that his two children Marcel (born in 2011) and Louise (born in 2016), are aware of the subject. It is true that in recent years, Marion Cotillard has stood out in her fight for ecology and the protection of the planet. Last July, the multi-awarded actress literally appealed to the French on Instagram. “The time has come to make ourselves heard”, “There is an emergency”, “Share this post massively”, “A critical situation”, “An aberration” for example, the mother wrote, referring to a legal text linked to ecosystems.
In the video shared on the RTL radio Instagram account, Internet users unfortunately criticized Guillaume Canet’s speech. “When you stop flying first class to see Madame in Los Angeles… you will be able to talk!!! You’re not credible!”, “Sell your yacht and go cycling, Sunday boho-ecologist” , “Coming from someone who takes private jets to get around, this is…”, “What high-level analysis and phrasing”, “We love receiving lessons from people who take planes everywhere”, “Too easy to do ecology, and give lessons with a full belly, rich, and a left-wing artist like his girlfriend Marion Cotillard” can we read for example.
