“It’s a little young to start”: why Guillaume Canet is “stressed” about his son Marcel’s acting career

This Saturday January 4, 2025, Guillaume Canet was the subject of a portrait in 50′ Inside. The actor notably spoke about the beginnings of his son Marcel’s acting career, 13 years old. First steps that his father observes with great attention.

Inherited talent! Remember, on May 19, 2011, Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard welcomed their first child, Marcel. Several years later, and more precisely in 2017, Louise, the couple’s second child arrived. The eldest of the two French actors has already followed in his father’s footsteps sincehe has already played the actors in Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom. An experience which seems to have been positive for the child who we find on screen in his father’s next film, partly filmed at GIGN.

This feature film, to be found on Netflix on January 10, brought together father and son, as Guillaume Canet confided during his portrait broadcast in 50′ Inside this Saturday, January 4, 2025. The 51-year-old actor explained in particular that being “a son of” was not easy to manage and Marcel does not particularly have it easier since his parents are two great actors: “That he is a son of is not an advantage, it is rather a disadvantage”, he confided, explaining in particular that expectations are always higher for the children of stars than for others.

However, unlike other children, Marcel Canet can count on the experience of his parents to guide him. “We’re monitoring this closely because we know it’s a little young to start”, he confided, specifying that this job is very difficult and requires constant questioning and being able to accept sometimes negative remarks. Furthermore, this young father indicated that he is not sure that his son will be an actor all his life and will accept whatever path his children take as long as they are happy. A real daddy hen.
