He signs Unexpected fate, a telefilm dedicated to her journey as Miss France. He talks about his rebellious temper at the time, his father’s support, his mother’s reluctance, racism, sorority and dirt between rivals. A discovery he continues in our Autopromo interview.
My news?
A TV movie, a modern fairy tale about my story as a Miss France candidate, from registration to selection.
Am I close to my heroine?
His journey and connections with his family are mine. Many anecdotes are also from real life: letters filled with excrement, my father’s dismissal because of Miss France, racism… We don’t always realize the “Miss France” whirlwind, which causes jealousy and can destabilize the family. As for the profile of the other misses, there are things I have seen and others that have been reported to me.
The asset that allowed me to last.
My dual culture, between a bourgeois childhood in Africa and a working-class city in France. Experiencing this social humiliation made me an adaptable chameleon.

What still doubts me?
This question. Am I capable of making anything other than a film about myself?
You’re talking about promoting me, homework.
Yes, but it is essential. Miss France’s stamp is very strong, but I have the impression that we don’t know Sonia Rolland very well. I was not born on election night in 1999. on December 11. I have a hard past that had a big impact on my bullying, which I talk about in the film.
Wooden tongue or very sharp?
My mother often tells me to be more careful. Because I’m very loyal, sometimes I shoot a little. So I’m trying to put the cursor in the right place again.
The sign of “Miss France” is very strong, but I have the impression that we do not know Sonia Rolland well.

A subject that throws me off my hinges.
None, because there are things that I accept better today. But in my 20s and 30s, it bothered me when people talked to me about Miss France. I was in the process of changing and I felt like no one saw my efforts.
What do I think when I look in the mirror in my dressing room?
“Good luck to the makeup artist!” More seriously, I love seeing my wrinkles. On the other hand, people have problems with my aging because my miss persona has frozen me in eternal youth. One day I received such a comment. “He was really beaten. “It’s incredibly cruel. But when I imagine a person who could write something like that, I rather laugh.
Misunderstanding about me?
I have always taken responsibility for everything, including my sometimes difficult personal life. The media tried to make me regret romantic relationships, but they made me as much as the rest. I am not denying anything.
What do I like people to say about me?
I like that people focus on my work as an actress, producer and director, because I didn’t give up anything to get into a profession that didn’t want me for a long time.

What am I cooking?
A fiction film, a story of post-genocide reconstruction, with a young Belgian-Rwandan director. A documentary about crossbreeding, directed by me. And season 6 Criminal tropics. Why not a sequel too? Unexpected fate about the everyday life of the Miss Elect, with all that is absurd, tender, cruel and imagined.
Your current mental load.
Tons of paperwork waiting for me after a period of very little time at home. I’m also going to make up for lost time with my girls, but I don’t see it as a burden. I need it. Weight is more of a social life that I leave as soon as possible to enjoy mine.
Unexpected fate , By Sonia Rolland, with Esther Rolland, Clémentine Cellarie… on January 3, 2024 at 9:10 pm on France 2.
