Imagine Marion Cotillard, icon of French cinema, who tries to console his tearful son after a PSG defeat and who admits to having been totally helpless in the face of this situation. If that seems crazy, that’s what she said with disarming naturalness on Antoine de Caunes’ microphone on Canal+, particularly in the run-up to the long-awaited final between Paris and Arsenal. “For my son, PSG must win. Today it’s better, but back then… when he was 9-10 years old, the guy was crying, hysterical.” The word is released and it says everything about the young man’s passion.
What makes this confidence particularly tasty is the way in which Marion Cotillard describes her own dismay as a mother in the face of this craze which goes beyond comprehension. “And then you can’t do anything, what can you do ? It will be fine. Well no, that won’t work!” A one-way dialogue, perfectly summarized, which will speak to all parents of child supporters. The star ofInception and of La vie en rose suddenly found herself as helpless as any mother in the face of her child’s tears. She also tells it with a self-deprecation that gives all its charm.
Marcel is now 15 years old and obviously the crying fits have calmed down over time! However, the fervor is still there! For the PSG-Arsenal final, the issue therefore takes on a particular dimension among the Cotillard-Canets and it’s easy to imagine the atmosphere at home if the result doesn’t go as planned. And this is not the only news noticed about Marcel these last few days.
On the Croisette too, Marcel Canet stole the show from his parents
In parallel with these footballing secrets, Marcel was also recently in the spotlight for a completely different reason. The actor and son of Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet climbed the steps of Cannes Film Festival alongside his two parents for the screening of Karmathe new film directed by his father and presented out of competition at this 79th edition. An appearance that did not go unnoticed. At 15, Marcel is already showing a natural presence on a red carpetbetween his radiant mother and his father visibly moved by this return to Cannes after thirteen years of absence.
This family sequence on the Croisette says something quite beautiful about the way Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard get through their separation, keeping the children at the center and continuing to share the moments that matter despite everything. Marcel seemed perfectly comfortable in this universe that he has been around since his birth.
Football and cinema: Marion Cotillard’s family loves strong emotions
Between an inherited passion for football, we don’t really know where (neither Marion nor Guillaume are particularly known for their sporting fiber) and a pronounced taste for the big screen transmitted almost naturally by his parents, Marcel Canet grew up in an environment where strong emotions were part of everyday life. His mother says it herself with a smile: whether it’s a defeat for PSG or a climb up the stairs, his son knows how to live things to the fullest. The PSG-Arsenal final will be played tomorrow evening at 6 p.m. For Marcel, it will clearly be a moment not to be missed. And if Paris loses, we wish Marion Cotillard good luck, because even an Oscar winner, certain defeats seem impossible to manage…
