There are roles that forever mark an actor’s career. It is the case of Audrey Tautou, who today reaches the milestone of 45 years. Despite having starred in over thirty blockbuster films and arthouse films, she interpreted Coco Chanel on the big screen, she was the testimonial of Chanel No. 5, for everyone she remains “Amelie». The fabulous world of Amélie, by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who has just turned twenty, gave the French actress worldwide success but at the same time as if it were caged, fixing her in the collective imagination as Amélie.
Daughter of a dentist and a teacher, born in Beaumont, a French commune in the Auvergne region, on August 9, 1976, the actress had destiny already marked in the name: her parents called her that for Audrey Hepburne. Passionate about music, she studied oboe and piano. Graduated in literature from the Sorbonne, landed her first major role in the film Shampists & Co. 1999. To the director who called her to let her know that she had gotten the part, she replied: “I really think you got the wrong number.” Two years later came the turning point, when she was chosen as the protagonist for The fabulous world of Amélie, the odd Montmartre waitress with dreamy eyes quickly became an iconic character.
From then on Audrey chose the films with extreme care, as well as she was very careful to show herself in public outside of her work. Very discreet regarding her private life, however, defines himself as “a very passionate person”. Five years ago he confided to the French edition of Grazia: «Falling in love is not complicated: it just takes a lot of imagination. We project our fantasies onto someone, then we discover ourselves, and it lasts as long as it lasts ».
We know little about the sentimental adventures of Audrey Tautou. “The less I am in the light, the better off I amHe confided a few years ago. From 2000 to 2008 she was linked to singer Matthieu Chedid. In 2009 the French media had talked about a love escape with colleague Benoît Poelvoorde, met on the set of Coco before Chanel. In 2016 he formalized his relationship with Yann Le Bourbouac’h, marketing director of the film company Gaumont. The story ended in 2019, despite the actress having publicly unbalanced: «I think I’m on track to find some sort of balance. I have a feeling that the next ten years will bring me very different things, both as an actress and in my life as a woman ».
According to the magazine Here, from 2019 Audrey she adopted a Vietnamese girl who is currently growing up on her own. On the other hand, in 2017 he revealed an anecdote that well explains his independent (and feminist) spirit: “I remember that when I was 32 my 4-year-old niece asked me: ‘Aunt, are you married?’ I told her, ‘No, and I don’t even have a boyfriend right now, so we might as well tell you it won’t be for tomorrow!’ She then replied: “So when will you become a woman?”. I told her, “But honey, you don’t have to get married and have children to be fulfilled, to be a woman and to be happy!”».
