Currently starring in Christian Duguay’s film “Tempête” where she plays a veterinarian married to a sulky driver (Pio Marmaï), Mélanie Laurent confided in the columns of Madame Figaro. “Cinema is a profession of passion, it requires a lot of energy, and even when trying to do my best, my activities inevitably deprive me of time with my family.“, she said. Words that she corroborated in another interview given to Version Femina and in which she explains that her son Andy does not live with her but on a Breton island with his father. “It’s my base, and it’s where my son lives. Whether it’s windy, raining or snowing, he spends one day a week in the forest and he’s getting greener and greener.” , she said.
“I’ve always remained positive, but when my 9-year-old son explains to me that it’s going to be the end of the world, I’m scared. So, I answer him that it’s the end of a world, that it can bring promise, solutions, and that there is everything to reinvent. I teach my children to protect rather than consume, to rebuild rather than lament“, she confessed. Before confiding that her daughter should join her big brother at the start of the next school year. “I have never worked so much as since I became a mother. I want to be able to tell my daughter that I am a free woman and artist. My children adapt to my work and my life, and I to theirs”
As for romantic relationships, Mélanie Laurent seems to ask a few more questions about it. “We are very torn between the desire to have a partner with whom we want to live everything and our lives which are free and new and which do not always go with life with a man.“, she said in a video shot for Miss Figaro. And to indicate: “I don’t know if I’ve ever fought two. It’s also a tragedy in my life: instinctively, I don’t think about life together. Sometimes, I happen to believe that I have to appear fragile so that a man can find his place in our couple. In my opinion, women all act a bit like apologizing for not needing anyone.”
