This father figure instilled in him courage and tenacity. “My grandfather was very important. He taught me to never give up and never give up. Very young, he was resistant and survived the concentration camps. VSIt influenced his whole life, his attitude towards others. Say what you think, even if there is a need for diplomacy, affirm your choices, resist pressure…”

Both of them had two children, a daughter, Elisa, born in 2011, and a son, Noah, born in 2015. Since becoming a mother, Vicky Krieps has been able to reconcile professional life and family life. She explained to Madame Figaro : “Also ask men if it is difficult to work when you have children. Me, for example, I brought my two children to Cannes. She added: “I couldn’t take them with me into the room or onto the red carpet, but they weren’t far and I waved at them. For me, it is important that they are there and that they see what I do. And that’s something absolutely normal.” Vicky Krieps is a real woman of character.
