Married to director Frédéric Chaudier since 2018, Emmanuelle Béart married two men before him, including Daniel Auteuil, in their first marriage, in 1993. Today she returns to the role that the actor played in her career as a young actress evolving in the world of cinema, facing the dangers that the #MeToo movement has revealed.
Emmanuelle Béart is one of those artists who is committed on a daily basis. Our colleagues from Galawho met her for their edition this Thursday, November 21, highlighted her various social implications over the last two decades. After Amnesty International in 1991, Unicef in 1996, African undocumented immigrants taking refuge in the Saint-Bernard church in 2006, the Yellow Vests in 2019… Emmanuel Béart is now ambassador of the Stop Energy Exclusion collective, whose goal is to eradicate thermal strainers. The one who, last year, co-directed a documentary on incest entitled A silence so loudin which she revealed that she had been a victim herself, returned to her various commitments but also answered a question about a crucial movement in which she did not – or barely – participate; #MeToo.
“Daniel Auteuil probably protected me“: Emmanuelle Béart rarely talks about her marriage to the actor
“You haven't spoken out much about #MeToo…“, launch our colleagues from Gala to Emmanuelle Béart, who married director Frédéric Chaudier in 2018. “It's not up to me to talk about it, others do it much better, but it's an essential movement“, replied the sixty-year-old who declared that she “getting old sheet“. And to complete: “As a young actress, I found myself in some tricky situationseven unacceptable, but I was of an extremely fierce nature, and Daniel Auteuil (he was her husband from 1993 to 1995, editor's note) probably protected me. I am the mother of two boys (Yohann, 28 years old, and Surafel, 25 years old, editor's note), there is a whole reflection on masculinity to which mothers like me must be aware“.
