After the success ofUntouchables, Omar Sy had chosen to go live in Los Angeles with his wife and children to try to maintain a semblance of normality while in France he could no longer take a step in the street without being disturbed. Thus, his offspring grew up away from the spotlight. But that doesn’t mean the actor’s kids don’t enjoy spending time with him. On June 23, we could see him making a rare media outing with his daughter Selly, in Paris. The latter also has an artistic streak.
Indeed, if she does not abuse the notoriety of her illustrious dad to make herself known, she has however managed to find a way to stand out. The 21-year-old, who lives on her side in Amsterdam, made Instagram the showcase of her talent as a photographer. The daughter of Omar Sy and his wife Hélène distributes portraits, in black and white or color, scenes of life or shootings. And she draws her inspiration from her travels, she who has located some of her photos in Senegal, Mauritania, Guatemala, the United States… On top of that, she also has a Youtube channel where she posts videos with interviews with artists and models.
Selly Sy is making a name for herself, but the young lady nevertheless had the honor of working with her dad. Indeed, as she reported on Instagram, posting a message and photos, she collaborated on the film Skirmishers. Omar Sy, who plays in it, presented it at the last Cannes Film Festival.
“My photos from the shooting set of Tirailleurs, a Franco-Senegalese film (in the Fulani language!) produced by Bruno Nahon and @omarsyofficial. So proud of my dad and big brother for making history again“, she commented in the caption of her publication while we saw images of the actors including Omar Sy in period costume to represent the First World War. “My talented daughter“, commented with immense pride Hélène Sy in the comments.
