Johnny Hallyday, Nathalie Baye, Catherine Deneuve, Marcello Mastroianni… As every year, the Cannes Film Festival will see hundreds of stars parade on its red carpet. Closer invites you to rediscover the couples who have marked the history of the Croisette.
They have marked the history of the festival as much as the award-winning films. Romy Schneider and Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni… Cannes has always been the scene of love stories that have left their mark. Johnny Hallyday and Nathalie Baye, for example, caused a sensation in 1985 by appearing together. They had come to present Jean-Luc Godard’s film, Detective, in which they played the role. And if many of them are separated today… they are nonetheless iconic of certain eras.
Cannes: these mythical couples who divorced
This is the case, for example, of Sean Penn and Robin Wright, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman or even Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, whose divorce was particularly publicized. These mythical film couples have contributed to the Cannes Film Festival becoming one of the most prestigious events in the world. Immortalized by photographers around the world, they have become emblems of the Cannes Film Festival. Closer offers you to rediscover the best shots of these love stories.
