Audrey Fleurot: this job she would have liked to do if she wasn’t an actress
At the start of the school year, she will be everywhere on TF1! First in The Countess of Monte Cristo, fiction that she will also produce, then in Gold diggersa romantic adventure comedy. A busy autumn for the one who, as a child, didn’t just dream of cinema! A few years ago, Audrey Fleurot spoke about her childhood in the columns of Psychologies. First, she revealed that she “couldn’t be a stay-at-home mom”. And for good reason, she “need to embark on new adventures”. “And the more difficult they seem, the more they attract me”she even blurted out.
But then, what would have been his dream job? “I would have loved to be a top athlete. I am constantly looking for adrenaline”. “As an only child, as a child, I developed a very stimulating imaginary world, and I needed constant intellectual and physical stimulation. I played a lot of sport”she then declared. Before adding: “The label ‘hyperactive child’ did not exist in my time, otherwise I would probably have been entitled to it! Above all, I believe that I had a bulimia of life”.
Audrey Fleurot “in search of a trance state”: “I found it in…”
Hyperactive since a young age, the mother of Lou, a little boy she had in 2015 with director Djibril Glissant, then said: “I would like to be a zen, gentle and patient person, but I believe that deep down that is not me”. And if she is not a high-level athlete, she still tries to practice dancing on a very regular basis.
“It’s as if I was looking for a state of trance. I found it in dance, especially tango, which I practiced intensively. For fifteen years, I spent almost all my nights there. Today, a little less, just one or two evenings a week and a few weekends”.
Asked about her irrepressible desire to live, Audrey Fleurot detailed: “I avoid boredom as much as the fear of being bored. My taste for these moments of work spent with a new team each time, and over a short period of time, is another proof of this: it’s a way of always remaining in the ‘honeymoon’ phase.”
