Agnès Jaoui spoke without taboo about the intimate scenes she had to shoot during her career. She also made it known that she refused to get naked for a long time.
Agnès Jaoui’s career is well established. At 59, she sings, acts and even wrote an autobiographical book. A work in which she talks about the rape she suffered by a stranger when she was 5 years old. Agnès Jaoui was also the victim of sexual abuse by her uncle when she was 11 years old. A second sexual assault that his parents took a long time to hear because it was so difficult to accept such behavior from a loved one.
Agnès Jaoui understands her parents’ inability to hear her
During an interview given to Releasethe actress who criticized Jamel Debbouze confided: “Around 5 years old, I was abused by a stranger in the stairwell of my building. Right after, while my mother was calling the police, there was a children’s movie on television with a little blonde girl saying pretty things, and diamonds coming out of her mouth… And a little brunette girl saying nice things. swear words and toads came out of his mouth.”
At the same time, she clarified: “When I was 11, I was abused by my uncle… At 12, I started a diet that I still haven’t finished in an attempt to eradicate those curves and fat that seemed to cause so many problems with desire and loathing. I better understand my parents’ inability to hear me. It’s not easy to recognize that we were deaf to something, that we didn’t know how to protect (…) We always come from an era, with its taboos and its unsaid things. “
Agnès Jaoui was harassed at the start of her career
During another interview, this time given to the magazine Ciné Télé Revue, she claimed to have suffered harassment at the start of her career. “Not rape, but I have been subjected to propositions a billion times, inappropriate gestures, everything, everything…”she initially declared before revealing that when she got into a relationship with Jean-Pierre Bacri, who died in 2021, the harassment stopped immediately.
“When I met Jean-Pierre Bacri, it’s certain that people stopped bothering me a little! But from the age of 14 to 22, I had time to see them all. From this point of view, writing was saving, because, at some point, if you want to have a career, the fourth time you say no…”said the one who adopted two little Brazilian boys when they were 5 and 7 years old.
Agnès Jaoui refused to film nude when she was younger
Among the cult films of Agnès Jaoui, there is Like a plane in which she plays with Bruno Podalydès. For Version Feminashe confided in these sometimes funny sequences to shoot. “We had huge laughs: in our first naughty scene, I had to mime fellatio. It was… funny! In life, there can be burlesque in sex, but it is difficult to translate into cinema without falling into vulgarity.she said before adding: “At the age I am, with my curves, it almost makes me happy. It’s not a militant act of course, but it’s not the same thing as when a director asked me to stripping me for no reason when I was 20.”
If today, Agnès Jaoui has no problem filming intimate scenes, she always refused to do them when she was younger: “It made me incredibly angry, I felt dirty and I systematically refused. Even to Claude Sautet, who wanted to show me in a swimsuit. Without justification, it was out of the question. But with someone as delicate as Bruno, you never feel abused or robbed. Bruno who has a totally offbeat look. So, we were fooling around like 4-year-olds when they hear pee-poo.”
