Marina Foïs is renowned for not giving in much. More accustomed to talking about her film projects during the interviews she gives, the actress makes a point of never opening up about her private life. This Wednesday, February 28, Giulia Foïs’ sister made an exception, on the set of Click. Faced with Mouloud Achour, the 54-year-old actress agreed to return to the sexual abuse she suffered as a child. “You shared an extremely painful experience, the one you had at the age of 8 with one of your babysitters“, recalled the host. And Marina Foïs: “I am one in ten women. Yes, I was a victim as a child. But hey, the figures are so astronomical, it’s banal in fact“, she lamented in the Canal + show.
A subject that she still has a lot of difficulty talking about today: “I have something special right now, I tell you, I am atrociously modest. I read an interview of myself that I did in Psychologies Magazine And it’s very violent for me to see myself telling myself“, she explained. And the one who is the mother of two strong heads added: “I don’t know why I told that story once. I could have taken a stand without talking about myself“, she estimated, specifying that there is “today full of ways of acting, of getting involved which are not necessarily public.”
