Cécile de France: A French Icon

Cécile de France, a radiant blonde with a regal name, is poised to become the next French sensation. Her breakout roles in "Spanish Apartment" and its sequel "Russian Dolls" earned her a prestigious César Award for Best Supporting Actress.

From Belgium to the Big Screen

Born in Namur, Belgium, to a humble family, Cécile's journey to stardom began at the age of 17 when she left her homeland for Paris. "Paris was the capital of the arts," she recalls. "I knew that if I conquered Paris, I could become a star in Belgium too."

Hollywood Calling

Cécile's breakthrough came when she was cast in the Hollywood adventure film "Around the World in 80 Days" alongside Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. "I had the audacity to ask them to wait until after my theater tour," she says. "But I knew I couldn't pass up my childhood dream of being in an adventure movie."

Hosting the Cannes Film Festival

In 2008, Cécile was appointed to host the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. "It wasn't even in my wildest dreams," she admits. "Being yourself on stage is harder than acting."

Glamour and Fashion

Despite her star status, Cécile remains humble about her personal style. "I don't love the glamorous life," she says. "But I'm learning. I used to have a lot of prejudices, but now I'm changing my attitude towards fashion and beautiful things."

Cécile's Designers

When it comes to red carpet events, Cécile entrusts her wardrobe to the likes of Armani, Chanel, and Jean-Paul Gaultier. "In real life, though, I wear Givenchy and Armani," she reveals.
