Master of Ceremonies for the 75th Cannes film festival, the Belgian actress Virginie Efira ensures the closing of this edition on May 28, 2022 after having ensured its opening with brio and panache. At 45, the acclaimed actress can boast of a magnificent film career, combining talent, modesty and glamour. She also presented during this fortnight the feature film Don Juan in the Cannes Première selection with his partner Tahar Rahim. During this demonstration, she did not climb the steps with her companion, the actor Niels Schneider. The latter climbed the last steps solo but with immense class, with an original bow tie with finesse.
Discreet this year, lovers Virginie Efira and Niels Schneider were less so in 2019, when they were on the famous Cannes staircase for the screening of Sybil in which they co-star. The 34-year-old actor had even “saved” his beauty by tying her shoes which kept coming undone. Last year, the irresistible heroine of the rom com Twenty years apart was alone to defend Benedetta of the sulphurous Paul Verhoeven. To see them side by side, you have to see the images of the Caesars again.
It’s in the columns of Releasein December 2021, that the star had delivered on his relationship with Niels Schneider, evoking their love at first sight: “It’s very weird to fall in love when you play perversion and incest“, commented the mistress of ceremonies of this 75th Cannes Film Festival, speaking of her role in An impossible love, by Catherine Corsini. Ali’s mother (8 years old, born of her previous relationship with Mabrouk El Mechri) and her companion have never left each other since.
His cinema colleague and darling had agreed to confide in I love you etc.hosted by Daphné Bürki on France 2. He revealed that he had struggled to show his interest in his crush: “There’s so much going on inside. And there’s a disconnect with what’s really going on. I was convinced that we were going to have a story and at the same time, as soon as I was next to her, there was panic.“
