The star actress of The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain is back, not in front of a camera but behind a microphone, for the dubbing of the animated film Nina and the Secret of the Hedgehog, five years after her last role in the cinema. The one who for many embodies the face of Montmartre in the 90s, will lend her voice to Nina’s mother, the main character in this children’s film.
A project that she had no difficulty accepting because it was not very time consuming, she explains in the columns of L’Obs, but also because she maintains good relations with the directors Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol, to whom she “can refuse nothing”.
However, Audrey Tautou explains that a return to the big screen is not planned anytime soon; she prefers to devote herself to her family life and the personal projects that she has been carrying out “self-taught” for several years: “I draw the illustrations for a children’s book that I wrote. I also take photos, which I will put together in a book. There you have it: photography, writing and drawing. […]I can’t imagine leaving my home at 6 a.m. to return at 9 p.m., five days a week for three months,” declares the forty-year-old. “Depriving me of my child for a shoot is a no!”
Failing to see her in theaters, Audrey Tautou will grace us with her presence at the Seine Musicale for the musical show Charlotte by David Foenkinos, directed by Jérémie Lippmann from January 19 to 25, 2024. Accompanied by a guitarist, she will read the story of Charlotte Salomon, victim of deportation, to whom David Foenkinos dedicated a novel almost ten years ago.
