“From now on I want to take myself to projects that I really believe in”

More or less stable, which is not bad.

And I resume rehearsalsA certain dayA play adapted from Ettore Scola’s film, which I will perform with Roshdi Zem in October at the Theater de l’Atelier in Paris.

I know exactly where I want to go

Laetitia Casta

Do I still have the holy fire?
Yes, and today I feel like I understand why I refuse or accept a role. From now on, I want to take myself to projects that I really believe in. And I know exactly where I want to go, towards nuanced characters in which I recognize myself.

“I’m just asking for progress”

Is it okay to talk about myself in an interview?
No, I’m playing the game and I think we need to inject a little humor into all of this because we’re sorely lacking.

Wooden tongue or too loose?
It depends on the subject, but in general I don’t like to pretend. I don’t wear a mask, so if I’m asked a question, I either answer it or clarify it. Being rather modest, I avoid talking about my personal life.

Last time I was proud of myself?
I recently reflected on the past year and realized that I have completed all my projects while managing an intense family life. I told myself that I can be proud of the work done.

An opinion that makes me happy.
I don’t care about compliments because they are rarely constructive. Nice reviews are rare unless they have the intelligence to propel me forward in my work. I only ask to progress.

“Fashion almost educated me”

The role of Musa is closer to my work as an actress.
I put myself into it as much and have a lot of fun with it because I don’t see any point in it. I have the opportunity and freedom to do only the projects that I like. Fashion taught me a lot, almost educated me, and it’s a passion I’ve always carried, even when I started in film.

Can I start over in fashion today?
I feel like the old joker says it, but I’ve fought so many battles to be myself (becoming a mother at 23, mid-career with people trying to hold me down, making movies…) that I think, it would be easier today, especially thanks to the feminist movement.

What was my first swimsuit?
I was 14 years old and I fell in love with a black one-piece swimsuit with red tulips.

The ideal model for this summer?
Calzedonia cream white sweatshirt, low-cut, 1970s style, à la Ursula Andress, to wear with an oversized shirt or tie-dye.

My favorite beach conversation?
I rather try to keep quiet, let myself get carried away by a book, relax or take a walk… But I also like to watch. (Is laughing):

What do I think of myself when I look in the mirror in the morning?
I don’t look at myself, even if sometimes I could be better… My day starts with a cappuccino and I like the idea of ​​staying a little fuzzy, gently letting the development happen.

What will my summer be like?
Every year I tell myself I’m going to plan ahead like organized people, and I’m always blown away.
