[Meeting and shooting images to be found in the winter issue of têtu·, at your newsstands or by subscription.] Starring in Nathan Ambrosioni’s new film, Les Enfants vont bien, Camille Cottin has that aura all her own that binds her to the loyalty of a broad audience, and the special affection of her queer fans. A meeting with the magazine’s cover star this winter.

Camille Cottin has that talent of entering a room like a cinema heroine, and settling in as if she were an old friend. When she joins us in the dim backstage room of a Parisian café, on Place des Vosges, she orders a tea and settles at the back of the banquette with a quiet warmth that instantly puts us at ease. Just like Jeanne, her character in Les enfants vont bien, the new film by Nathan Ambrosioni, the 47-year-old actress has the knack for projecting an image of a woman who is self-assured. A role that fits perfectly into the gallery of strong-willed women that the actress has built throughout her career. From the insolent hurricane of Connasse to Andréa, the fierce and vulnerable agent of the series Dix pour cent (whose upcoming film she has just shot), passing by the reconfiguring mother in Toni, en famille (the previous Ambrosioni), up to Hollywood, where she played opposite Lady Gaga in House of Gucci, Camille Cottin can be all the women of our lives. Women we think we know, until the moment they reveal a nerve, a humor, a flaw…
- So, what does it feel like to be on the cover of têtu·?
I’m very happy about it! It’s an iconic magazine, which exudes something both engaged and soft that I really like. I feel like I’m invited, and that pleases me.
