Sophie Marceau is a committed public figure. The actress, who is usually very discreet on social networks, does not hesitate to come out of silence when necessary. Wednesday August 9, 2023, the actress made a surprise appearance on her account instagram… in order to convey an important message. “I’m in the countryside, in Périgord, in the land of walnuts. So precisely, a little message to try to help our local growers! When you buy walnuts, buy French!”, she began, then specifying: “Look on the label where they come from, because to travel 15,000 kilometers with a nut, given the times that run, it’s a bit exaggerated, isn’t it?“ Subsequently, Sophie Marceau defended local producers. The latter affirmed that they have quality products. “Here it grows everywhere! There are no pesticides, the carbon footprint is not disastrous, so eat nuts, it’s good for your health, but eat French, it’s better for the planet”, she concluded. An important reminder that was welcomed by its subscribers in the comments.
Sophie Marceau, an artist far from social networks
Social networks allow personalities to chat with their fans and talk about their daily lives. However, this can also have a negative impact and it is not Sophie Marceau who will say the opposite. The actress has very little presence on her Instagram account, even if she appreciates the practicality of this tool as she explained in the columns of the Parisianin October 2022. “Social networks are great, because we are really ourselveswithout intermediary, when an interview or a role in the cinema gives a fragmented vision of what one is”, she had started, then specifying: “So I found it great to put little videos, photos of what I noticed here and there”. But in November 2020, Sophie Marceau gave her opinion on the documentary hold-up, which referred to information related to Covid-19, receiving a flood of negative comments. “Then I saw my comment on ‘Hold-Up’ become a source of contention and argument. I said to myself ‘stop!’she said, adding to suffer from a “overflow of images”. Thus, the actress had therefore made the choice to move away from social networks, which she has only used on rare occasions since.
