For Louis-Julien Petit’s next film, La Brigade, Audrey Lamy played alongside young refugees. For the actress, mother of two children, the filming was difficult.
For Audrey Lamy, the shooting of Squad was trying. In this feature film by Louis-Julien Petit, in theaters on March 23, the actress plays the role of Cathy. At 40, this starred chef becomes a canteen in a home for young migrant minors. A moving role of course, but also necessary for Audrey Lamy. Even if she keeps a contrasting memory of the shooting, which took place in the north of France in the middle of winter. “Tornado, floods, Covid and meningitis, we had it allshe remembers in the columns of Télé Star, on newsstands this Monday, March 21. François (Cluzet, his playing partner) broke his Achilles heel.” And Audrey Lamy was the victim of a very rare phlebitis, called Mondor.
This phlebitis, detected after a fall, was not caused by it but because Audrey Lamy was pregnant. “I didn’t know it at the time”confides the actress, who gave birth to her second child, a little girl, a few months after the filming of Squad. For two and a half months, the actress lived away from her eldest, Leo, for the purposes of the film. The time to forge close ties with her playing partners and the young migrants who have upset her. Mom, Audrey Lamy explains that she has become “more sensitive to certain subjects like the situation of those children who have experienced things of absolute tragedy and who have crossed lands and seas to be safe”. “Their fate turned my mother’s heart upside down”she summarizes in our columns.
Audrey Lamy: “As a mother wolf, I wanted to protect them”
“I have a 5-year-old son and on set, I was going through a hormonal upheaval due to pregnancy, remembers the sister of Alexandra Lamy. So as a mother wolf, I wanted to protect them.” Particularly close to her children, Audrey Lamy only very rarely mentions her private life. After being the victim of a miscarriage, the ex-actress of Scenes of households revealed expecting a baby on the set of La Vengeance au triple gallop by Alex Lutz. “I was over six months pregnant on set – not ideal for playing a model – but when Alex loves someone, nothing is a problem, joked the actress to Madame Figaro. He never lets you down.” It is today happy mother of two children that the spectators will find her in The Brigade.
