Louis de Funès: The icon's daughter is far from unanimous, we explain why

Julia de Funès, granddaughter of the famous actor Louis de Funès, pursues her own career as philosopherspeaker and author. Aged 45, she graduated from the Sorbonne with a doctorate in philosophy and also studied human resources. She hosts business conferences on topics related to management and personal development.

Julia de Funès positions herself less as a polemicist than as a whistleblower. His new book, The Dangerous Virtueleads to resist against “the ready-to-think“, which according to her, affects not only the professional world but also society as a whole. “Yes, my book is devoted to dangerous virtue, and it is a concept that can be extended to our entire society. If certain good intentions can turn into danger in companies, it is exactly the same thing for our country“, she said in an interview for Le Figaro.

Not enough examples? His latest book The Dangerous Virtue attracts criticism

The one who continues his fight against preconceived ideas“gave rise the criticism with this new work. Indeed, in The Dangerous Virtueshe denounces what she considers to be the moralistic and procedural excesses which plague modern business. Across 35 chapters, she addresses popular concepts like inclusion and personal developmentwhich she sees as traps that stifle creativity and freedom of action. The newspaper Liberation states that he “expected better” from the granddaughter of one of the greatest comedians in the history of French cinema. Furthermore, she is mainly criticized for lack of evidence concrete facts to support their arguments. The philosopher cites very few examples and these are judged “not sufficiently representative” by criticism.


A journey far from that of his ancestors

Julia de Funès has chosen not to follow in the footsteps of her famous family in the world of cinema, preferring to concentrate on debates of ideas and contemporary issues. In a relationship with the financial analyst Thomas Coudry, she asserts herself as a committed thinker, far from show business, even if she has made some forays into television on 5 and a philosophical column on BFM Business. His book The Dangerous Virtue will probably not be her last work, because Julia de Funès seems determined to continue and share her thoughts and analyzes on society.
