It can make us feel at some point like we no longer belong. Perhaps you feel it even more today?“, asked Aurélie Casse. “Either way, it has become a totally different profession. We ourselves are representatives of our work, qwhether it exists or not. Due to the existence of social networks and the cult of the image which has infected everyone, we become both an object of desire and an object of rejection, we are loved and hated for exactly the same reasons“, observed Isabelle Adjani.
And the actress emphasizes: “It’s a job that I wouldn’t start today if I were a beginner actress..” But while she is a real “source of inspiration” for her niece Zoé, the latter has rightly decided to follow in the footsteps of her illustrious aunt. Isabelle Adjani therefore tries to warn her: “I have my niece, who is around twenty years old, who is starting out, I try to be by her side, but I actually pity her“, she admitted on the set of C to you, before detailing his remarks: “I find that there is a form of vampirization that has become quite cruel“, affirmed the ex of Francis Huster, who plans to bow out”in a few years.”
