She now navigates between French and Hollywood sets. But before being the new Frenchie darling, Camille Cottin was the “Connasse”. The film adapted from the short program is available for a few more days on Prime Video.
She is one of the French actresses who shine in Hollywood: Camille Cottin films with the biggest stars across the Atlantic thanks to the series Dix Pour Cent, whose international influence has allowed the actress to be sought after in English-speaking projects.
Zemeckis, Scott, Branagh…
First with a small role in Allies by Robert Zemeckis then in the series Killing Eve by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, in which she shared the screen with Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer.
Then, Camille Cottin distinguished herself in large-scale films, such as House of Gucci by Ridley Scott, alongside Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, and Stillwater by Tom McCarthy with Matt Damon, or Mystery in Venice by Kenneth Branagh .
At the same time, Camille Cottin is also flourishing in French cinema with notable roles in Les Éblouis by Sarah Suco and Toni, en famille by Nathan Ambrosioni. But before having this long and rich career, Camille Cottin was revealed by a particular role, which stuck to her skin.
Before Hollywood, Camille Cottin was the Bitch…
Known for her comedic talents and her tongue-in-cheek humor, Camille Cottin collaborated from 2013 to 2015 with Noémie Saglio and Éloïse Lang for a series of sketches which were a hit on CANAL+: Connasse.
The actress played the main character of the Bitch, filmed on a hidden camera, who caused havoc wherever she went with always questionable behavior.
Very frank, rather rude and without embarrassment, the “Connasse” was a very popular character. Her success even continued in the cinema in a feature film entitled Connasse, Princess of Hearts, released in 2015. Camille Cottin’s performance earned her a nomination for the César for Most Promising Actress in 2016.
In the feature film version, the Bitch questions her life. She feels she deserves better. She decides to become a princess to avoid working and living with the people. After meeting Stéphane Bern, the specialist in crowned heads, by chance, she decides to go to London to seduce Prince Harry.
There, she does what she does best: displays her immeasurable superiority complex in public, and incidentally causes scandal at Buckingham Palace.
If you miss the character of the Connasse or if you haven’t yet seen her princess adventures in London, there’s still time to catch up on the film Connasse, Princess of Hearts, which is available on Prime Video. But be careful, you only have one week left since the film leaves the catalog on February 9.
