Interview
Which councils would you give for a good hygiene of life?
The main thing is of drinking much water, at least a bottle per day. It is very important. It is of course necessary to pay attention so that one eats and well to sleep. I sleep at least eight hours per day.
How do you live the fact of being an icon of beauty?
I live it very well! It should right knowledge be held when one speaks in public…
What inspires to you by the women like Andie MacDowell or Jane Fonda?
I find them sublimes! They prove well that there is no age to be beautiful. The more one woman ages, the more it has charisma. They are really models… Just like my mother who, at 53 years, is a super granny! She is almost fresher than me. Like all these women, I try to crunch the life of fear of missing something…
Concerning your cinematographic career, you made two films this year…
Yes, I turned the continuation of
Gomez and Tavarès. I had fun much with Stomy Bugsy and Titoff. Gilles Package-Brenner could not about it any more because we were intolerable!
The other film, it is Rush Hour 3. Your first American experiment…
I met Brett Ratner in Cannes three years ago. It had said perhaps to me that it had a role for me and it called me when the casting started. I thus passed hearing and they liked me…
Is a casting in Hollywood, it more impressive than in Paris?
I had never seen as many mongrel in the same place! It was very impressive. Turning was incredible because on the plate, there are ten times more world than on a turning in France. And one works seven hours of the morning until late the evening… But, it was really a very beautiful experiment
Which were your relationship with Jackie Chan?
It is a love! I had fun with him and it even taught me a Chinese song which I must interpret at the time of the preview in the United States. That is likely to be very funny! The film leaves over there in July and on October 13 to France.
Do you intend to privilege your career of actress?
All depends on the proposals. If the scenario plait me, I say yes immediately. But, for the moment, it is thanks to my trade of mannequin that I earn my living. I like this trade which enables me to travel much and to discover places of dream…
How do you make to manage your life of family and your career of actress and mannequin?
It is not so difficult… My son does not go yet to the school, I take along it everywhere with me. We live between New York and Paris and as my been engaged is very often in London, I am at least a week per month there… It is thus right a question of organization.
That soon will make ten years that you entered this trade… Which assessment do you draw from all these years?
But time passes so much quickly! I still remember the time when I lived in suburbs when a woman proposed to me to make photographs… I was hardly sixteen years old. , That I did not like the first time and it is only at 18 years that I retenté the experiment. I left to live in New York and my life changed. I am very proud to be where I am, especially that I never dreamed to become mannequin. And I am as very happy to see as people who like to me are proud of me.
