sophie Marceau Shares Femininity Lessons with Daughter, Juliette, as Filmmaking Plans Emerge
PARIS – Actress Sophie Marceau is passing on life lessons-and potentially a filmmaking legacy-to her daughter, Juliette, as the pair navigates Parisian life and Juliette prepares to direct a short film with her partner.The close relationship allows Marceau to impart wisdom she felt lacking in her own upbringing, especially regarding “the codes of femininity.”
At 16, Juliette is already fluent in both French and English, and these shared moments in Paris serve as opportunities for mother and daughter to connect. Marceau has spoken openly about her own journey to understand femininity, a knowledge base she is now actively sharing with Juliette. This transmission of experience comes as Juliette embarks on her own creative endeavors, planning a short film project with her boyfriend, a development that clearly fills Marceau with pride.
The dynamic echoes a conversation Marceau had years ago with Paris Match regarding the role of a grandmother, specifically in relation to the film “Lol.” When asked if she envisioned herself playing a grandmotherly figure, Marceau responded, “Yes, this is the advantage of age, because it has experienced everything, understood everything. The grandmother is the voice of reason.” She playfully agreed to a 2030 follow-up, stating, “If I am still an actress, I will love it.” This foreshadows a potential future role, but for now, her focus is on nurturing the burgeoning talent of her daughter.
