French actress Marion Cotillard gave birth to a daughter. Marion Cotillard and the Oscar curse Marion Cotillard meets Guillaume Canet

40-year-old Marion Cotillard, with whom Brad portrayed love in the film “Allied.” The news completely blew up the editorial pages. Gossips claimed that it was Pitt who was the father of the unborn baby. Numerous Brangelina fans bombarded Marion with threats and insults.

The situation became so aggravated that the actress’s partner, Guillaume Canet, had to speak out. The actor and director said that he is the father of the unborn child and asked not to interfere with Cotillard anymore in Angelina and Brad. An open letter appeared on Marion’s lover’s Instagram page.

“I don’t comment on rumors about us, I don’t have the habit of talking openly about my personal life, which until now I’ve always tried to protect. But I was forced to change my own principles and speak out by stupid and corrupt people who call themselves journalists, representatives of the tabloids, as well as haters, who feel so omnipotent, sitting at the keyboard and throwing mud at innocent people,” Guillaume does not hide his indignation.

The actor assured his subscribers that everything was cloudless between him and Cotillion, despite the hype and dirty gossip. “They forced me to admit that I am proud of Marion, I love, respect and admire her. For me, she remains strong and smart, despite the fact that she is facing stupid and unfounded accusations. Even in such an ugly situation, I want to maintain a positive attitude and not stoop to the level of these people. And as Marion said, I wish you all to become better people and strive for something more in your life than throwing mud at others,” Cane concluded.

“This will be in response to the flood of news that has broken out in the last 24 hours. I usually don’t comment on such things or even pay attention to them, but since the scandal affects the people I love, I have to speak out about it,” Marion wrote. The actress explained that she was expecting a child from her husband Guillaume Canet, and also called him her only man and best friend. The couple is raising a five-year-old son, Marcel, who will soon have a sibling.

The actress also responded to those who were worried about her health and nerves. "I feel good, thank you. The noise created around all this does not bore me. And to all the media and haters who are jumping to such conclusions, I wish a speedy recovery from this disease," she added.

She could well appear on his arm tomorrow at the Russian premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012)…
He doesn’t know how he would have coped without her in the most difficult times, when he couldn’t get a word of truth from his friends and acquaintances...
They simply fell in love with “open eyes” when they knew almost everything about each other...

She...

She was born into a bohemian and creative family of an actress and theater director in Paris. Their house was always full of guests - Marion’s friends literally dreamed of settling in their apartment forever: the girl’s parents loved to travel to exotic countries and always returned with a mountain of unusual gifts and a lot of interesting stories.

From the age of six, Marillon began going on stage - either helping her mother (giving lines during rehearsals), or shining as a prima in children's performances specially staged by her father.

She was raised on books and films in which people overcame life's obstacles for love, only to then live happily ever after. Therefore, the girl did not imagine any other fate for herself.

Alas, in life, as usually happens, the “rose-colored glasses” fall off somehow suddenly and quickly. It was clear to everyone I knew from the very beginning that Marion’s relationship with the son of the famous French cultural figure Claude Berry, Julien Rassam, was doomed. He was a talented actor, but at the same time suffered from mental illness and drug addiction.

Marion's love could not overcome all obstacles and change Fate. The suicidal Julien jumped out of the window right in front of her eyes. But he did not die at that same hour, but became crippled, confined to a wheelchair. Marion cared for her beloved, believing that maybe everything would change... Alas, two years later, Julien again attempted to commit suicide. And this time it was successful...

This event shocked the actress so much that she began to literally avoid situations that gave even a hint of family happiness - she was so afraid of experiencing the bitterness of suffering again. Meanwhile, she had to star in a romantic comedy, where her partner on the set was He...

He…

He was born near Paris, and from early childhood he was prepared for the fact that his future would certainly be connected with horses - Guillaume’s parents were horse breeders, and their son was destined for a career as a jockey.

Alas (or vice versa - fortunately), the injury he received completely ruined his future as a jockey. But at the same time it opened up prospects in the acting field. Guillaume graduated from François Florent's acting courses, and in 1994 he made his debut on stage, realizing himself in the role of romantic, naive young people.

At the age of 28, Guillaume decided to take a serious step: he got married. His chosen one was a German model and actress Diane Kruger. For almost two years, their relationship resembled a honeymoon, when both seemed to glow with happiness. Therefore, it was easy for Guillaume to play in a romantic comedy, and he sincerely did not understand why his co-star was always wet-eyed.

Meanwhile, this depressed beauty was She...

They...

They met on the movie set Fall in love with me, if you dare(2003). Guillaume openly irritated Marion - his happy face of a newlywed did not fit into her concept of an “unhappy world.”

But at the same time, they had to play a couple in love, who competed endlessly and made sparkling jokes.

Guillaume found a way out of the situation. According to the plot, their couple constantly challenged each other with stupid challenges that fit into the concept of “Weak?” Actually, he was not trying to start a new romance - he was happily married. But it was necessary to continue filming the film and do something with this “tearful madam.”

To better understand the role and build a system of relationships in the frame, Guillaume suggested following the lead of the characters and playing their game - constantly challenging each other. And it worked. In the sense that Marion, being a gambling person, found the strength to switch from her depression to work, and he found in her a faithful friend who always spoke the truth to his face.

They were inseparable as his marriage gradually fell apart. No, the reason was not Marion at all. It’s just that Guillaume worked a lot, achieved some success and gradually lost all his friends (even his closest ones): the “celebrities” tried not to object, but he so wanted to argue reasonedly... Marion became his only outlet - she always told him the truth to his face, while time, as others tried to maintain political correctness.

At some point, the already reserved Diana realized that her marriage to Guillaume was a “mistake of youth” and wanted to devote all her attention to her career. They eventually divorced.

Marion supported her friend in every possible way during this difficult period. But both were afraid to admit to themselves that there had long been more than just friendship between them... She was openly afraid of happiness, he did not want to rush her and poured out his soul in his diary.

But the moment of explanation has finally arrived. But the lovers did not rush headlong into the maelstrom of a new relationship, but carefully mastered a new feeling for themselves, gradually reducing the distance. For a long time, no one knew about their romance except Marion’s father. She did not even dare to move in with Guillaume and instead rented an apartment on the same street. But…

…Which have not be avoided. A few years after the start of their romance, little Marcel was born, named after the boxer Marcel Cerdan, the deceased lover of her heroine Edith Piaf, who was once played by Marion...

Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have been dating since 2007 to this day. French actress Marion Cotillard met French actor and director Guillaume Canet when they met on the set of the film Love Me If You Dare. Feelings flared up between the actors with unknown force and do not fade even now. The couple currently lives together in Paris. However, they refuse to discuss their relationship in the press.

In 2010, there were rumors that Guillaume gave his beloved a ring and that the couple was soon going to get married, but to this day the actors have not sealed their feelings by marriage.

Child of Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet

In January 2011, the press reported that Marion was expecting her first child. For the French actress and Guillaume, this is the first and long-awaited child. But this did not encourage the happy dad to propose to Marion. Perhaps the reason for this is that Guillaume has already been married and does not want to burden himself with marriage again.

In May 2011, the fruit of love between Marion and Guillaume Marcel Canet was born. It should be noted that almost immediately after the birth of the baby, Marion got into shape and within two weeks she looked amazing.

Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have been a couple for almost six years. The power of their love has still not faded, as the lovebirds were recently spotted kissing passionately at The Grove in Los Angeles. The French couple hugged tightly before their adorable son Marcel later joined them and the trio headed out for a walk.

As for Marion's chosen one, the handsome Frenchman was previously married to German actress Diane Kruger, but the couple divorced in 2006 due to the fact that their creative paths diverged.

Cane recently directed his lover in the film "Blood Ties", the film is due to be released at the end of 2013. The loving couple also appeared on screen together in the film “The Last Flight” in 2009.

In 2013, Marion will play with such stars as Jeremy Renner and Joaquin Phoenix in the romantic drama “A Miserable Life,” and Guillaume will perform in the French productions “Solitaire” and “Jayploop.”

Birth of a second child

On March 10, 2017, actress Marion Cotillard gave birth to her second child with her partner Guillaume Canet. To the great happiness of her parents, little Louise joined her older brother Marcel, six years old. The French star's second pregnancy did not stop the actress from enthusiastically devoting herself to her work, only enjoying a little rest after pregnancy. She told Madame Figaro magazine that at that moment she was very pleased to devote herself entirely to her family, and to relax after the hustle and bustle of the last advertising tours, of which there were a lot for a pregnant woman. But she couldn’t imagine not accompanying the films in which she participated. So, she promoted the film “Allies”. But the hype around this film is also associated with the divorce of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, in which she was rumored to be involved.

Marion Cotillard, a mother who puts a lot of effort into her roles, stresses that she is lucky to be an actress and has no right to complain. She has made her choice, which allows her to combine the luxury of being an artist and having children around whom she builds her whole life. They are always with her on set and she can see them between scenes.

However, the 41-year-old Oscar winner wants to take some time off for now. She refuses all offers, even from her favorite directors. She says:

“I want to take some time for my family and for me. I have a son and a little daughter. I want to live with them, with their father. This is my desire and my need.”

And here are the first photos of Marion with her child:

Today, September 30, the French actress, winner of all the most prestigious film awards, including Oscar and Cesar, Marion Cotillard, celebrates her 41st birthday. Despite her worldwide fame, she leads a rather modest and private lifestyle. Marion sings well, writes songs, plays several musical instruments, and does not try to conquer the world music scene. Several times she received the status of one of the highest paid actresses, but this only expanded the opportunities for her charitable activities, and did not inflate her pride and conceit. The best directors and designers of our time dream of working with her, but she remains, as the journalists who interviewed her noted, a very, very modest woman.

On the screen, Marion appears in a variety of roles, but in life she prefers to devote herself entirely to only two - wife and mother. “In fact, I can only live by love,” Marion once admitted. It is about love that we would like to talk in more detail today. Marion and her fiancé, French actor and director Guillaume Canet, rarely talk about their relationship, but we still managed to learn a lot of interesting things. We present the history of the development of their relationship in our section.

Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard

Marion Cotillard's professional path, one might say, was predetermined - she grew up in an acting family and from childhood she helped her mother, a theater actress, on stage or participated in children's plays staged especially for her by her father, a director and teacher at an acting school. Marion began her career at the age of 16, starring in the TV series Highlander. This was followed by several more films with her participation, but fame came only after collaborating with Luc Besson - she played one of the main roles in the film Taxi, in which Luc acted as a screenwriter and producer.

Still from the movie "Taxi"

Shortly before Marion was offered to star in Taxi, she met her first love, French actor Julien Rassam. If Marion was just starting her career and was an unknown newcomer to the film industry, then Julien had impressive connections in this area. His father is the famous director Claude Berri, his brother is screenwriter and director Tom Langmann, his mother is producer Anne-Marie Rassam, his uncle is also a famous producer and husband of Carole Bouquet, Jean-Pierre Rassam. It was Julien who introduced Marion to famous French actors and directors, and also advised her to henceforth refuse films like Taxi. Julien was sure: Marion was capable of more. And I was not mistaken. Thanks to his patronage, she received a role in Alexandre Aja’s film “The Furious Ones.”

Unfortunately, soon a third wheel appeared in the relationship between Julien and Marion - drugs. In 1997, the actor's mother committed suicide by jumping out of a window. Of course, such an event only worsened Julien's addiction and led him to a terrible end. In 2000, he repeated his mother’s action - he decided to take his own life.

Versions of what happened vary: some media write that Julien jumped out of the third floor window of the Raphael Hotel in Paris, others that he accidentally fell out, still others that it happened before Marion’s eyes, and still others that Marion was filming the third part of “Taxi” at that time. Be that as it may, it is known for sure that Julien survived, but due to the serious injuries he received, he became disabled. The two years Julien spent in a wheelchair were also difficult for Marion, who was with her beloved all this time. In 2002, Julien attempted suicide again, and this time achieved his goal.

Marion was so stunned by what happened that she decided to leave her acting career and leave Europe. The destination was India. With one backpack, Marion went to Goa, where for several months she engaged in spiritual practices and tried to come to her senses.

I know what depression is. At that time, I realized that I was losing myself. After some time, I completely lost my taste for life, my interest in everything. I felt empty, useless, worthless. Those people who have never experienced depression may judge those who suffer from it. “Can’t you stop feeling sorry for yourself and get out of bed?” - they ask a question. But when you don’t understand the symptoms of a disease, when you’re not familiar with it, you can’t imagine how strong an impact it has,” Marion said in an interview. After returning to Europe, the agent persuaded Marion to meet with director Jan Samuel, who cast her in the lead female role in his film “Love Me If You Dare.” Guillaume Canet has already been cast in the lead male role.

Guillaume, unlike Marion Cotillard, did not even think about acting. Parents who were horse breeders and childhood on a farm gave Guillaume a strong desire to become a jockey. He pursued this dream consistently and persistently, showing great hope, but at the age of 18 something unexpected happened: at one of the competitions, the horse made a jump too early and Cane, unprepared for such a turn, fell very unsuccessfully to the ground. He suffered a serious leg injury, which prevented him from continuing his career as a jockey.

After the injury, they didn’t even have time to remove my cast; I started riding again, but after 2-3 months I was forced to leave. Then I turned 19 and decided to focus on girls. When you live for a long time in the wilderness of the countryside, Paris becomes the limit of your dreams. By that time, I was fed up with horses,” Guillaume told The Guardian.

Before going to Paris, Guillaume also gained circus experience.

In the morning I came to classes at the circus, and in the afternoon I went to school. I learned to juggle, to balance on a thin board mounted on a barrel. These were my first experiences interacting with an audience, and I loved it. In Paris, Guillaume graduated from François Florent's acting courses, and already in 1994, when he was 21 years old, he made his debut on the stage of the Eberto Theater. At the same time, Guillaume starred in television series and short films, and by the end of the 90s he began to receive roles in big films. For example, in 2000, the film “The Beach” was released starring him, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tilda Swinton.

In 2001, when Marion was going through one of the most difficult periods in her life, Guillaume married Diane Kruger. They not only lived together, but also worked - Guillaume directed Diana in his debut directorial project, the film “As You Say.” The expiration date of family happiness came in 2006 - the celebrities divorced, but remained friends. According to Diana, their marriage was hindered by both their love for the profession, excessive busyness and frequent separations.

I don’t want to sound too pessimistic, but I was disappointed in the marriage,” Diana said in an interview after breaking up with Guillaume. - I believe more in personal responsibility and commitment. No paper can stop a person if he wants to leave. One of my friends says - and I agree with him - that people should get married not at the beginning of a relationship, but after many years of living together. In general, for a long time I was sure that I had achieved a lot, that I was an accomplished person. I travel the world, have tried and know so many things. But when I turned 30, I realized that I was an idiot. I don't know anything about this life at all. However, the actress really remained on good terms with Guillaume.

He is a great actor, an amazing director. I never cease to admire him and love him very much. In fact, because of him, I am considered a character actress in France, he chose me for his debut film “As You Say,” Diana said in an interview with the Sidney Morning Herald in 2007.

So, Guillaume and Marion began to communicate closely in 2003 on the set of the film “Love Me If You Dare,” when she was experiencing a bereavement, and he was in love with another and could not even imagine that he was filming with his future bride. Filming ended, and the world promotional tour of the film ended - Marion and Guillaume parted ways again. They continued to be friends and even corresponded, but both were convinced that their relationship was exclusively friendly. After his divorce from Diana, Guillaume dated Carla Bruni, Louise Bourgoin and Elodie Navarre, and Marion was credited with relationships with Stéphane Guerin-Tilly and Sinclair.

Everything changed in 2007, when paparazzi captured Marion and Guillaume at Los Angeles airport. The couple held hands and kissed, but did not comment on the romance. How the actors’ relationship grew from friendly to romantic was still a mystery at that time.

The relationship between Guillaume and Marion was hidden for two years, and then, in May 2009, they first appeared together on the red carpet. The occasion was more than suitable: they presented the film “The Last Flight” at Cannes, in which Marion played the main role, and Guillaume acted as director.

I knew her for 14 years, but the relationship stopped being friendly only three years ago. At some point you just start moving in the same direction with a person, you understand that you are on the same path. And one day you wake up and say to yourself: “She is the love of my life.” I couldn’t even imagine that this could happen in life. I need to be next to a person who is always searching, always moving forward,” Guillaume told The Guardian about Marion in 2011.

The media also learned that the relationship between Marion and Guillaume had reached a new level during the film festival. Only a year later, in 2010, and already in Marrakesh. A beautiful ring with a large diamond sparkled on Marion's ring finger. Are she and Guillaume going to get married? - the journalists asked themselves. They received an official answer from Marion herself - the actress confirmed the engagement. As it turned out later, at that moment Marion was five months pregnant.

In May 2011, Guillaume and Marion had their first child, Marcel.

Motherhood turns your life upside down. You must behave differently, organize. You can no longer get enough sleep, but at the same time you have such strength that you did not know about before the birth of the child. Even when everything is falling out of hand, there is chaos all around, you just have to look into those eyes - and everything becomes unimportant. Motherhood increases resilience, makes you more confident and stronger. It gives you everything, well, except sleep,” Marion said in an interview with The Talks in March 2015.

It recently became known that Marion and Guillaume will soon become parents for the second time. And in 2017, we will see the actors together again on the big screen - Canet’s film “Rock and Roll” will be released, in which he and Cotillard played the main roles.

It is Marion who keeps me moving forward; she is not afraid to point out my mistakes and shortcomings. This is unpleasant to hear, but this is exactly what allows you to grow, develop, and become better. I was very lucky to meet such a woman. Largely thanks to her, I managed to tame my violent character,” Guillaume recently said.

HELLO.RU congratulates Marion on her birthday and looks forward to new appearances by the actress and Guillaume Canet.

New film by French actor and director Guillaume Canet "Forever Young" takes the self-deprecating (or is it self-aggrandizing?) genre of celebrity satire to a new level. In addition to the fact that Cane and his common-law wife Marion Cotillard appear on screen as themselves, the director managed to involve other famous French actors in the work, who also appeared in cameos.

The film is a cleverly constructed comedy about a midlife crisis and a 42-year-old actor experiencing it as he destructively explores his ego over the course of two and a half hours. All this is accompanied by funny and frankly crazy jokes about the entertainment industry, which will definitely appeal to fans of French cinema. Moreover, at times, the diligent and fervent performance of the married couple could promote this very local film to the international market.

Canet is best known outside of France for his role in the film Danny Boyle"Beach", while at home he created unforgettable images in films by independent directors ( "Next time I'll shoot you in the heart", "Wonderful Life") and was featured in commercial mass culture products ( "Merry Christmas", "Right to Left"). In addition, he directed the thriller Don't Tell Nobody and the sentimental dramedy Little Secrets.

By returning to the familiar and most comfortable environment and turning the camera on himself from an unusual angle, Guillaume was able to present a fresh parody of celebrities that did not miss the ugly sides of celebrity life, which is greatly enhanced by the end of the story, which turns into something extravagant.

The beginning of the film is quite measured, however, when the hero Cane begins filming in the film of his friend-director ( Philippe Lefebvre), he has a conflict with a model turned actress ( Camille Rowe). The problem is that he plays not only a priest, but also her father - this takes a significant blow to the actor's ego, which is exacerbated after Rowe reveals in an interview that he considers his co-star too old and not "rock 'n' enough." roller" compared to young stars like her.

At the same moment, Canet's character becomes literally obsessed with his appearance and age, and when he tries to complain about this to his partner Cotillard, with whom he shares a child, she is too busy with her own career to pay attention to his problems. “You can only play stutterers or disabled people!” - he breaks down at his wife who ignores him, referring the audience to the roles of Marion in films "It's just the end of the world" Xavier Dolan And "Rust and Bone" Jacques Audiard. But her current role is even worse: she's learning a Quebecois accent for Dolan's new picture and insists on using the dialect's most radical form.

The joke at the heart of this episode is unlikely to register with those who don't speak French, but Cotillard plays it off so earnestly that it can't help but generate laughter. Canet also looks good in the role of a fool, but he is more reserved, which distances him from the usual style of French comedies. Each of these stories includes documentary facts, and in cameo roles such actors as Gilles Lellouche And Ivan Attal. There's even a goofy cameo from a rock legend Johnny Hallyday, which only makes sense if the viewer knows who he is.

Perhaps some of the gags will be incomprehensible to the audience, but everyone will definitely like the plot twist when Cane stops pretending to be a party boy and, having failed to have sex with either Cotillard, or Rowe, or anyone else, decides to improve his physical abilities. Without going into details, we can say that in this case what comes to mind is Mickey Rourke, and the results are far from ideal. The hero's transformation is so over-the-top that It'll Be Rock 'n' Roll ultimately loses some of its plausibility. However, it is impressive thanks to the excellent work of the make-up artists and visual effects team.
