Fu'ad Ait Aattou

[lollicandy]

is he dating asia?

i'm not sure about is look..he looks too girly for me..

but i will say that i shoud have finished watching the last mistress before i sent the dvd back to blockbuster a few hours ago...judging from the pictures it looks like it might have been a good movie

Asia married Michele Civetta this past summer. She was pregnant so I think they were together before that as well (like a year??) Maybe they were dating at the time of the premiere or earlier? Or Asia is just very touchy-feeley for the cameras...

what s his background? i think his dad is arab maybe algerian and mom is french but am just guessing.

I read before that he is part Corsican and part Berber.

Where is Fu'ad from ?

u pronounce it. F OO AD I T ATTOO

His father is Moroccan (Berber ethnicity) and his mother is Corsican.

This is confirmed is several articles at http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/FuadAitAattou/
He is very proud of his Berber ancestry apparently.

Its quite hard to find information about him, isn't it ?!!!!

We at Yahoo group have found no evidence that he did - he wouldn't be now. The "affectionate" Cannes pics were May 2007 and in September 2008 she had a baby to another man whom she married: see http://www.odetoazia.com The owner of the Azia club might be able to comment on this though.

The pics of them at Cannes (day time) have them kissing on cue for the photographers and lots of "couple"-like stances, but

• Catherine Breillat said they were very "jealous" of each other during the making of the film: http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/sfiff51-the-last-mistressopening-night-qa-with-catherine-breillat/ "Though asked how she filmed Asia, Breillat countered that she found it much more interesting to talk about how she filmed Fu’ad Ait Aatou. Both actors were extremely jealous of each other. This was fine with Breillat. She never likes her actors to get along too famously because she gets the impression they escape her influence. Fu’ad’s people come from the desert and they’re quite modest. He definitely didn’t want to do the love scene. Breillat assured him that they wouldn’t show his penis and that it would be covered. Both actors were concerned about the love scene where Ryno throws Vellini onto her back. Breillat accomplished it with a single take; feeling no need to push for a second take. “Contrary to what people say about me, I respect my actors.” Asia was very happy with Breillat’s direction and said she was rarely directed as a real actress. She was happy with how the film was shot.”
• In the large collection of Cannes pics at the yahoo group, many, many pics show Asia hanging all over him (in her shoes, who wouldn't ?!) and in the videos clips of Cannes he is walking without her. There may be a lot of pics, but it may have only been a short and focussed time.
• To be honest - when you've done stark-naked simulated sex for a film crew, it wouldn't be too hard to cuddle and smooch a bit for a photo shoot, would it ?! I didn't take the 'affection' to be particularly "real". They also were probably in a pretty 'up' mood that day - entered for the Grand Prize at Cannes, after all - a first for everyone and a great honour.
• But who knows what if - anything - happened between them - who knows ? They know ! But "dating" - its never been mentioned in the literature we have been able to collect.

Yes, I would agree with all of that. She seems to generally do exactly as she pleases at all times, and try to stop her .... !

I read before that he is part Corsican and part Berber.

Yes, that is confirmed in several articles - even by Catherine Breillat herself.

"Fu'ad Aït Attou. I have to explain his name to you and why the "Aït" is so important. He's not Arab, he's Berber. And when Morocco became independent, they wanted the Berbers to take Arab names even though they had their own tribes they belonged to. And since the Berbers are a very proud people, they just called themselves "Aït." So it means "from the tribe Attou," because the Berbers only retained their tribe name. Fu'ad is very noble and proud, and he really feels strongly about his name because it's a Berber name. It's a Berber name that is against Arab names."

He doesn't always. In one of these he has a hairy chest and I saw another one which I can't locate right now where he has stubble & sideburns. But he is androgynous, no doubt about that. Beautiful more than handsome.

Its very visually beautiful and if you like looking at Fu'ad well .... better hire it back ! There is a section at the end where Catherine Breillat talks about him (and each of the main stars in turn) and it shows her directing the "morning after" scene when La vellini first comes to stay and Catherine Breillat is in bed with him, beaming from ear to ear. He's walking around in these long underpants which can be just seen in the first pic. Check out his physique in the "lacing " one ... its like an anatomy chart ! Beautiful.

 

[fuadrocks]

I think I saw him in a photography book by Karl Lagerfeld. It was called "A Portrait of Dorian Gray".
I'm pretty sure it was him but I can't find any photos anywhere

This ? http://www.artbook.com/3865210155.html
Did you find it ?

 

[jennifer~]
