Very discreet and only appearing publicly on rare occasions, the couple regularly makes the front page of the celebrity press. The latest gossip about them claimed that they would live separately, one in Paris, the other in Los Angeles. “Like all couples, we go through periods that the celebrity press has not stopped itself from highlighting.he initially simply conceded. Not necessarily always in good times. Sometimes they are four, five months late with impossible stories that lend us relationships with others”he lamented, referring to the rumor that Marion Cotillard was involved in the separation of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Articles which, sometimes, can amuse Guillaume Canet or, on the contrary, annoy him. “Because it’s always a loop of things: we travel on private jets, we’re on yachts, we live in Los Angeles…he continued. There are things that make me laugh, things that annoy me, things that hurt me because when we interfere too much in our private lives, it’s complicated”he repeated. And to tell: “When you have a guy who climbs the wall of your house and comes to your house when your son is just born to take pictures of you with your son. It goes far away because I’m going crazy, I see red, it goes into a fight and you end up with the police the day your son was born at home. You don’t actually want to experience that”.

“It’s true that it’s not always easy to live with someone”

Without mentioning the separation claimed by celebrity magazines, Guillaume Canet nevertheless admitted: “Like all couples, we go through wonderful times and shitty times because it’s been a very long time and it’s true that it’s not always easy to live with someone”. Especially since they do the same job. “It’s complicated for both of us.he admitted. We experience things that are very, very strong in emotion, in feelings, we do this job because we need to express them. And when we don’t work for a long period of time and we see the other going on set, doing promotion, going to premieres and we stay at home, there are periods that should not be be easy. Until now, I have had the chance to work a lot at the same time as Marion, who has also worked a lot. On the other hand, it could have been complicated for me to see her success, everything she experienced if I hadn’t been busy and I hadn’t worked. I think I could have had a bad experience.”he declared.

A couple since 2007, Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard are the parents of Marcel (13 years old) and Louise (8 years old). Being both actors, they make it a point of honor to reconcile their professional and personal lives. “We try not to work at the same time, that there is always one who is at home, when one is making a film. We look at project dates, sometimes it’s complicated, it depends. But we organize ourselves and we do it quite well. I think so far our kids are pretty well-rounded. As long as it lasts”declared Guillaume Canet.

Thus, parents remain very present for their children. “There are also families with parents who leave very early in the morning and who return very late in the evening and who also do not see their children much. We have very intense periods on set but, afterwards, for months, we don’t work, we are at home. Or I write from home, which allows me to be there and take them to school every morning”assured the actor.
