A beautiful tribute
A project on which Marion Cotillard spoke to Pierre Lescure this Sunday, October 22, 2023… And the 48-year-old actress made the connection with her mother:
“I come from a line of women, some of whom have been attacked, like many women. And so that was the reason for Mona Achache’s film and it was also about the fact that my mother who had trauma in her life , as soon as she had children, and msame before, a healing process began because she didn’t want to pass that on. She was aware that all her injuries could impact her children.”she confided.
And to conclude: “I am lucky to have an extraordinary mother who is a role model for me because she faced her fears”.
As a reminder, this is not the first time that Marion Cotillard has spoken about her mother. In an interview given to The Obs in November 2022, the Chanel muse revealed that Niseema Theillaud was a former battered child. “I deeply admire my mother, her psych ‘work’ of cleaning, the journey to healing she began as soon as she had us. She lived through an ultra-violent childhood but she found the courage – where , I don’t know but I find it very beautiful – to face what she was imbued with so that we don’t inherit it. She protected us.”she confided.
