Charlotte de Turckheim far from the dictates of the community

Guest of Clap!, a Europe 1 film show presented by Laurie Cholewa, Charlotte de Turckheim promoted her film in 2021Damn then 2. A film that takes place in a detox center. And this role was close to his heart and for good reason.
“For adult actors, it's very simple: there are no fat people in the business. So, all the actors who are fat, you have them in the film”, sums up the one who had an intimate relationship with Coluche. If we follow her words, the profession immediately cataloged her as the big one on duty…

“The world belongs to thin women”

A sad observation which reminds us of that of Catherine Benguigui, interpreter of Béa in H. “It’s a job where there are no big guys,
continues Charlotte de Turckheim, in which we are immediately asked to lose weight and be thin”. Except for tailor-made roles, no pun intended…”That doesn't change. When Lio's character says'The world belongs to people who are thin, look at girls in positions of power, presenters, etc. : they are all thin'It's true. There are maybe two that are big out of 250. So no, that hasn’t changed.” Which will not prevent the lively blonde from ensuring her presence in DALS for the next season.
