Mother of two children, Cécile de France has been married to Guillaume Siron since 2006. Very in love with this musician whom she met while she was in theater school, she spoke of their children during an interview with journalists from Madame Figaro. Soon to be released for the film For love directed by Elise Otzenberger (it will be released in theaters on January 15, 2025), the 49-year-old actress plays a nervous mother who sometimes has trouble trusting her children. Very discreet regarding her two children, she also immediately asked that their first names not appear in the interview.
I would like you not to mention the first names
“Yes, I have two children, whose first names I would like you not to mention if possible.“, she said before adding: “Elise, the director, is the mother of three boys. Her cinema is sincere, personal, it was necessary for her to talk about family, intimacy, couples and relationships with those close to them. This resonated in me with an essential subject: the trust we place in children. Personally, I never question the word of my people. I question myself, and they invite me to evolve. Children often point out our inconsistencies, our contradictions and when we listen to them, we can only grow.“.
If I revealed myself too much…
If she does not want the first names of her children to be revealed, it is because above all she wants her and her family to stay.”a blank page“. She explains: “I consider myself an artist above all, not a public figure. (…) If I revealed myself too much, I would be afraid that the directors would no longer be able to dream of me in their character. I would lose this artistic freedom. I want to continue traveling through all styles and genres. Remain like a blank page or raw material to be able to take on lots of different roles… and never get bored of doing the same thing again“. A very wise resolution.
Cécile of France:
With a distinctive name, the one who won the César for Most Promising Actress for The Spanish Inn and that of best actress in a supporting role for Russian dolls explained that she had never been educated in an aristocratic environment. “I don’t know where my name comes from. I haven’t analyzed my family tree, but I can tell you that I have nothing to do with the Belgian aristocracy. My parents ran a café, lived in a housing project, and experienced long periods of unemployment. They were young, a little anarchic and very open. They immediately saw that theater made me vibrate, made me happy. They believed in me, and I was able to take many amateur theater classes throughout my adolescence..”, she revealed.
