Virginie Efira tells about her parents. “My father was never shocked by my choices in life, in the movies, not even Benedetta, without judgment, ever…”

After a pregnancy break, Virginie Efira returns to the forefront with two highly anticipated films. Privacy. And in AmberBy Thomas Kruthoff, with Arie Warthalter. Meanwhile, the French favorite Belgian has agreed to speak in an exclusive interview Madame Figaro. In it, he talks about returning to the set, awakens his “activist spirit”, analyzes the image he reflects among men and women… And also trusts his parents.

Admitting that she likes to take care of herself, the 47-year-old actress explains that it comes from her mother. “Until I was about 5 years old, my mother worked as a beautician in the Simone Mahler beauty salon, which was located below the house. The space itself,” sums up the actress. Before you remember. “I see her again, there, surrounded by ointments, I found her so beautiful. I often found her at the institute, where she gave me facial massages. This is significant for a child. She never gave me advice, but what I loved most about her was her joy and freedom in life. A woman like her is never alone. The opposite of those who focus too much on themselves…”

“My father was not an ordinary man”

Virginie Efira continues the interview, this time addressing her father, the “great feminist”. “From my earliest childhood, she always told me that I should not be financially dependent on a man. Everything but “woman”. Even later, as a teenager, when I told him to show that I have some friends, he was amused by it,” says Nils Schneider’s partner, with whom he had little Hiro last year. And it’s clear that her father’s personality was a force in Virginia Ephyra’s journey. But studies were very important to him, especially for someone like him who had risen socially to become a hematologist-oncologist. He could have worried about his daughter, who dreamed of cinema in the depths of Brussels, playing Miss Tequila in bars… At the age of 16, when I told her I was going to be an actress, she replied: You’ve read all of Racine. He’s never been shocked by my choices in life, movies, even Benedetta, no judgement, ever…” Given Virginia Efira’s trajectory, she won the 2023 César for Best Actress in a Drama. See Paris again By Alice Winokur, her parents would be proud.
