At 39, Leïla Bekhti continues to amaze the media. Renowned actress, muse for L’Oréal, the star shines brilliantly in the spotlight. At the start of the year, the actress shocked moviegoers in the film “I will always see your faces” by Jeanne Herry, the director of “Pupille”. On the screen, the sidekick of Géraldine Nakache – who shares the poster with other great figures of the 7ᵉ art – plays the role of a mother marked by an orchestrated robbery at her work.
“I liked the idea of dialogue and listening. I liked being in a film where the word repair is important. It feels good to see people who repair themselves. Being able to work with Jeanne Herry was also a chance […]”, affirmed Leïla Bekhti in the columns of “Vogue” in March 2023. And to add: “Also, I liked finding myself with these actors and these texts that we are not necessarily used to playing. As soon as a character scares me a little, that’s what makes me want to go”.
Last May, the main interested party still aroused passions on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival. Being one of the faces of L’Oréal Paris, Leïla Bekhti represented the brand with panache to the delight of her admirers. Over the years, the young woman has learned to be much more lenient with her image as she clarified for “Madame Figaro” this Monday, June 5.

“Today, I’m defusing things a little more. I wish I had understood that earlier”, pointed out the star to our colleagues. “For example, after a failed red carpet, I say to myself, ‘It doesn’t matter’. I’m less afraid of reactions: I know that people can be mean. You also have to take care of yourself, consider yourself a little more. I’m still working on it”. During the interview, Tahar Rahim’s wife also confided in her private life.
Mother of three children, Leïla Bekhti experienced her pregnancies as she saw fit: “I gained 27 kilos for each of my pregnancies. I said to myself: ‘I am eating for two’… So I ate everything I could”, assured the latter. To have peace, she did not always tell the truth to those around her: “I lied to my relatives who were worried because I had gained weight. I answered: ‘My obstetrician told me that there was no problem'”.
Like them, his doctor has also sounded the alarm several times: “In reality, he said to me: ‘Leïla, can we calm down a bit?'” (laughs). At her own pace, Leïla Bekhti has gradually regained her figure of yesteryear: “I discovered my body differently, I found beauty in it […]. Then I took up the sport again. I went from burgers, shepherd’s pie, spaghetti Bolognese, lasagna and fries… To just a salad with a bit of bread. Because that was when I wanted to.” It is said !
