If she fully assumes today, the forty-something has gone through difficult times, especially following her reign. “I won the title of Miss France at 18, and very quickly I not only became an adult, but also an object of fantasies for a large number of people, and it also distorted the image I had of myself and my femininity. I felt like I didn’t belong to myself anymore. I had to meet everyone’s expectations with this feeling of always having to please“, she confides in the columns of the quarterly.
“I was constantly brought back to Miss France“
“The role of Miss France is to unite the French, therefore to have an irreproachable speech and attitude. So I had to restrain myself, censor myself, for fear of shocking or disappointing. Without wanting to, this mechanism has taken a dominant place in my life and inevitably my own nature has changed.“, continues Sonia Rolland, who suffered more particularly from her status as beauty queen at the start of her career.”I also carried around a feeling of illegitimacy in my profession as an actress for quite a few years, because I was constantly brought back to Miss France as if I had no right to retrain!“
