Sabrina Ouazani at the niac. The 33-year-old actress has fought tooth and nail to get to the point where she is today in terms of cinema. If she shone in several films like dodging by Abdellatif Kechiche, Paris by Klapisch or even men and gods by Xavier Beauvois, Sabrina Ouazani really broke through much later. In 2018, she landed the role of Charlotte in the hit series Map Heart before landing a role in the series Valid of Franck Gastambide, the man whose life she shares. To get there, choices had to be made. Like leaving La Courneuve, the place where she grew up and where she has all her memories and loved ones. For Paris Matchthe actress reconsidered this decision, always difficult to digest: “I moved. It was painful. I have been living in Paris for three years but I return to La Courneuve at least twice a week to see my parents and friendsshe explains. Paris, it’s easier to manage my appointments.”
Living in Paris, rubbing shoulders with show business and the greats of this world that she would never have thought of meeting one day did not make her lose her head: “I miss my city because it’s my bubble. I like the simplicity of people, mutual aid, kindness.“She also made a promise to herself. That of never forgetting her roots: “I remember my first Cannes festival. It was in 2010 for Of Gods and Men, by Xavier Beauvois. Back in La Courneuve, the guys from the estate laughed at me: ‘There, you are not going to climb the steps of Cannes but those of your Balzac tower!’ No, I will never forget where I come from, I will never betray myself for this job“.
This profession did not bring him only success. In 2015, six years after the death of Yasmine Belmadi, her former companion, Sabrina Ouazani met Franck Gastambide on the set of Pattaya. A time kept secret, the romance between the two actors ends up being exposed to the big day by Thierry Ardisson in Hello earthlings! : “It wasn’t malicious and then when you go into this style of show, you know that you’re going to address the subject of privacy. I don’t deny my love affair, but it belongs to us. For example, posting pictures of us holding hands and smooching is not our thing. Me, I grew up in values of modesty“. Modesty that still characterizes her today.
