On May 8, France 2 broadcast the first episode of its biopic series on the iconic Brigitte Bardot. A realization signed Danièle and Christopher Thompson in which Julia de Nunez perfectly embodies the one who has long been considered “the most beautiful woman in the world”. In full promotion of the event series, the 22-year-old actress gave an exclusive interview to our colleagues from Cine TV Review this Monday, May 15, 2023. An opportunity for her to open up about her feelings when she learned that she had the role.
“I was blissfully happy, obviously. It’s only now, after the work is done, that I can care about what she and the audience think. Before, it would have been too overwhelming. C “It was necessary to go through the myth and get into its intimacy, so I didn’t have to be impressed. Even if it is very impressive”, she explained.

“Bullshit Biopics”
For her part, Brigitte Bardot was not kind to the project of Danièle and Christopher Thompson. “I don’t even know about this stuff! But I don’t care: the only thing that matters is my real life with me in it. And not bullshit biopics”she declared in the columns of the sunday newspaper last December. Words that could have reached the young actress. “From the beginning, I could not take her opinion into account. I try to interpret her truth as well as possible, so she could not touch me, slow me down. Otherwise I could not have completely surrendered to the role”she explained during her interview with Cine Télé Revue.
Despite her portrayal of Brigitte Bardot on screen, Julia de Nunez unfortunately did not have the chance to meet the star. “I know that the producers wrote to her, and that she answered them kindly. In her own way, she gave them her blessing. It reassured me! I felt less this guilt of interpreting someone existing”. According to information from the magazine Gala, Brigitte Bardot, however, refuses to view the biopic.
