Pierre Niney is now in love with Australian model Natasha Andrews, but did you know that he first had a love affair with a Russian artist?
Pierre Niney has always been considered a young prodigy by his teachers and early colleagues in the world of theater and cinema. A status from which he has today detached himself, notably by leaving the Comédie Française, but which first led him into incredible adventures. Especially in Russia!
Pierre Niney in the casting of a Russian film
After a literary baccalaureate with a theater option, Pierre Niney joined the free class at Cours Florent… which he also passed with flying colors! Having just graduated, the young lead was immediately spotted by a Russian production, reports the magazine Societywho recently dedicated a portrait to him and collected his confidences.
It was then that, at just 18 years old, the former Comédie Française flew to Russia to join the cast of Marina Tsvetaïeva’s feature film, The guy. A story of love and vampires, a great classic of the Russian classical repertoire. A first international experience to say the least intense since the young man then made numerous return trips to France. He was in fact filming at the same time in a French production. From his stay in Putin’s country, he kept strong memories… including intimate ones.
Pierre Niney learns Russian for love!
If Russia offered Pierre Niney a great professional opportunity at the time, it above all allowed him to find love. It was in fact in the middle of filming that the one who was Caesarized in 2015 met a certain Anastasia, a Russian nicknamed Nastia by all her colleagues and friends. She was then seven years older than the young Pierre Niney, and was an accomplished artist: singer, dancer, actress and even gymnast.
He falls very much in love with this woman – “And how not to?” he said in Society -, so much so that he even learned his sweetheart’s native language, Russian, to seduce her. In vain since their romance will only last for one summer… However, Pierre Niney will have added a new string to his bow. Practical ! The actor expected in the count of Monte Cristo is now married to Australian model and actress Natasha Andrews, with whom he has two little daughters, Lola and Billie.
