Camille Cottin and Marion Cotillard: “Cottinquillard“or not?

(…) I feel close to queer culture, because it is an escape, a breath of fresh air in a standardized, compartmentalized, overwhelming society. It’s important for me: I go to Pride with my boyfriend and my children, and this year, I was very touched to have been invited to read a text there, before the minute of silence, on the deaths of AIDS and chemsex.“, she confided.

On the other hand, despite the love she has for her husband, the star of the films Dumped And Toni, with family doesn’t want to take the plunge into marriage. “We are not married. I am against it, firstly because, even if I plan to spend the rest of my life with him, I want to feel this part of freedom that previous generations allowed us to acquire“, she confided to Psychologies Magazine.
