You have been participating in the Mysteries of Love for 13 years. What do you look forward to when you get up every morning?
The chance to simply make a living from my passion. I never feel like I'm going to work, even if we have very busy days and I get up early in the morning and come home late in the evening. I am attached to this series, to the character of Fanny, I see her evolve over time. Every day is different.
Are you happy with the path she is taking?
Yes, even if I still find her too “nice”. As it is a character that I defend, I want to send messages, however small they may be. I want to toughen her up, to have more character to show that a woman can also say no and make her own choices.
Elsa Esnoult (The Mysteries of Love): “Christian fears that Fanny could….”
In the prime broadcast on TMC on December 22, Fanny, your character, and Christian (Sébastien Roch) will get married for the second time. Was their reunion fraught with pitfalls?
It’s true that nothing is ever simple with them! (Laughing) As he is older than her, Christian is always worried that Fanny might look elsewhere… But love is always present no matter what, there are just ups and downs. They overcame obstacles and breakups. It's important to show that in life, as in the series, everything is not always rosy.
Fanny and Christian get married at Christmas: we imagine that the filming must have been magical…
It was exceptional, especially since we were incredibly lucky: that day, it snowed. I think the producer has high-ranking contacts! (Laugh). On the other hand, I admit that I was shivering in my very thin wedding dress! But there was something magical.
You have just returned from the United States where, it seems, you filmed in the desert. What is it about?
I am an actress and singer, but not only that! I currently produce two nature shows. The first, Wild Immersion, will be broadcast on Ushuaia TV, played by zoologist Yvan Kereun. The second, Animal Adventure, I will present with him. I wanted a program in which we could take viewers with us to raise awareness of the environment and respect for nature and animals.
Elsa Esnoult: soon back in Love, Glory and Beauty?
Will we see you again in the American series The Bold and the Beautiful?
Imagine that I was on set a few weeks ago! Fanny, my character, more sophisticated and glamorous than in The Mysteries of Love, will come and present her perfume to the Forrester family. I found the team again, everyone hugged me, it was like finding a second family. The producer even told me that I had to come back a third time!
Your Christmas album has been released in an expanded version. What do the new titles look like?
There are covers in English and French, such as Noël interdict by Johnny Hallyday but also two original songs, including Un Noël pour ces qui n'avez rien which I wrote. And I'm going to go signing, to meet my audience.
Did you participate in the Dorothée special show which will be broadcast soon on TF1 and recorded recently?
Yes of course ! Dorothée is a friend. Moreover, viewers were able to discover it during my participation in Dancing with the Stars in 2019: she gave me the immense honor of coming to support me, during the “surprise guest” bonus. I had tears in my eyes. It was therefore obvious that I would be present for his evening. I was able to meet people from the AB group that I didn't know and perform two manga songs broadcast in Le Club Dorothée: Dragon Ball and Candy. Dorothée was the first singer I went to see in concert, when I was very little.
