Laetitia Casta opens up about her relationship with social media in an interview with Madame Figaro. The actress shares how Instagram has affected her mental health and what steps she has taken to protect her well-being. As a mother of four, she also discusses the precautions she takes to shield her children from the harmful effects of the digital world.
In a conversation on Friday, February 27, 2026, Laetitia Casta, who is currently starring in the film “Le Crime du 13e étage” by Rémi Bezançon, reflects on her use of social media. The 47-year-old actress acknowledges the negative impact Instagram had on her mood, stating, “I realized that it was depressing me, especially since it’s difficult today to distinguish between truth and falsehood.” She now only uses her account to promote her professional projects.
With a touch of humor, Laetitia Casta admits that she prefers “taking her binoculars to look at the neighbor’s house like in a movie” rather than being consumed by the constant flow of images.
She demonstrates a particular vigilance towards her four children, Satheene, Orlando, Athena, and Azel, encouraging them not to get too absorbed in social media. She advises them to “live their lives instead of constantly watching others.” This measured approach highlights her desire to protect her family while navigating the digital world wisely.
Laetitia Casta also reminisces about a less immediate past, stating, “In our time, we had less, which left more room for dreaming. Today, children have access to everything.” For her, the danger of social media lies not in the platform itself but in the mechanism that amplifies emotions, often negative ones. She chooses not to delete her account but sets boundaries to maintain her balance and instill a healthy relationship with the digital world in her children.
