My sister Mathilde is an actress, but more like a French Jennifer Aniston. She's famous just in France. She's very commercial and does big comedies. So, acting was part of my family, and that's how I was raised.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My sister was an actress when I was a kid - she still is a successful stage actress in Sweden.
I always enjoyed acting. My aunt was actually an actress.
I come from a family of actors. My grandfather was like a Laurence Olivier with the Comedie Francaise. Since I was four I went every week to the Comedie Francaise. My aunt and grandmother were there, but my grandfather was a big star.
I was always observing my siblings and hearing stories about their lives that turned out to be helpful as an actress.
I consider myself a 'local' actor in France. I started out in France, I went to drama school in France and the French film community was very welcoming to me when I was a young actress.
My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.
Everyone's parents were famous actors at my school, pretty much! I think I went to school with Paris Hilton when I was three. That's what L.A. is, though - it's an industry town. You go to school with kids and you think, 'Well that's normal, they make movies.'
I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.
My parents were both actors; my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.
My dad is a director/producer and my mom is a dancer; she performed with Alvin Ailey, but I didn't even think about becoming an actress.
