Clémence Time
Fashionable, French, and really, really nice, it’s no wonder Clémence Poésy haunts James Franco’s dreams in 127 Hours.

The intersection of the Venn diagram showing Joan of Arc, Chanel, and sawing your own arm off is very, very tiny. It consists of just two words: “Clémence” and “Poésy.” French actress Clémence Poésy, 27, plays the girlfriend role in Danny Boyle’s new film, 127 Hours—the true story of Aron Ralston, the rock climber who got trapped under a Utah boulder and resorted to lifesaving self-amputation. Not shy about take-a-deep-breath subjects, Clémence is now about to film the lead in a movie about Joan of Arc.

She is also the coolest girl on a cool day on planet cool. She has been on the covers of some European fashion magazines, gets invited to the couture shows by Karl, and is boldfaced in every style publication and blog the world over. This white-hot-ness is a little alien, she says. “I was, believe me, the least cool girl at school.” Poésy, who grew up just outside Paris, admits that between the ages of 11 and 15 she “suffered a lot.... I know exactly what it feels like not to be in the cool group and wonder why you’re not.” But that was then; now The New York Times reports when she is seen wearing a hat. Irritatingly, she also seems terrifically nice. Polite, enthusiastic, and well educated, Poésy speaks perfect English with just a tiny French inflection—instead of that ickle baby voice so slappably annoying but beloved of other fully grown French actresses. Combined with her almost freakishly normal yet mesmeric beauty, the result is very, very appealing.

She's so beautiful. Clemence appears briefly in this new Deathly Hallows behind-the-scenes video. She appears about 6:04 into the video. They're filming the Seven Potters scene. :)

FOAM TALKS TO CLÉMENCE POÉSY
"The first time I saw myself onscreen, I thought I was going to lock myself in my apartment."

So says Clémence Poésy, one of France's most captivating young actresses. If you don't know her yet, just wait. She plays James Franco's old flame in Danny Boyle's new film 127 Hours and has the titular role in next year's Lullaby of Pi, which also stars Rupert Friend and Forest Whitaker. On top of that, she's one of the faces of Chloé perfume.

At the moment, however, she's in a loft in Chelsea, getting ready for this photo shoot. Around her a flurry of people select her clothing, adjust the lighting, and lay out bangles and earrings for her to try. A pair of hands is teasing her hair several inches high. In short, she seems more doll than girl. "I remember the first time I realized that I didn't notice when people were touching me on set," she says. "Someone is touching your hair, your face. I got used to forgetting that my body belongs to me. It's like I'm somewhere in between being myself and being someone else."
