Presented as a prodigy of his generation, Pierre Niney has a few tricks up his sleeve. Aged only 33, the actor notably had the honor of being crowned the César for best actor for his incarnation inspired by the famous couturier in the film “Yves Saint Laurent”. This totally deserved distinction has allowed him to become the youngest actor to be rewarded with this coveted title.
It is a relaxed Pierre Niney who confided this Sunday, October 23 in front of the cameras of TF1 in the magazine “7 to 8” where he was the subject of the Portrait of the week. The one who recently challenged Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne about a subject close to her heart admitted to being a control freak. “Once the scene is shot, you are the type to dwell all night long”, pointed out to him the journalist Audrey Crespo Mara. “That, unfortunately, I cannot deny that. When I started this job, it seemed so crucial and so important to me, and marked forever in the film, what we do, that I had such a sacredness of this thing, that it happened to me go to my room and redo the scene. (…) We are in the irrational and it is a bit sickly”lamented the actor, the youngest resident of the Comédie-Française, at 21 years old.
Not enough, however, to disturb the one who spins the perfect love with the photographer Natasha Andrews. “It’s good that I let go, it’s been two, three years since I let go, and that’s good too. The fact, for a moment, of being in a living space closer to nature. And then to choose when you want to be in the crowd and to choose when you want to be quiet at home“, he enthused.
