Marion Cotillard & Guillaume Canet broke up after 18 years together

Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet got together in 2007, after they met in 2003 on a movie. When they first met, he was married to Diane Kruger. Kruger and Canet’s divorce was finalized in 2006, and one year later, he was with Marion. I always wondered if there was more scandal there, but the situation felt like business as usual for France, so whatever. Diane never really bad-mouthed Canet, nor did she ever cite Marion as one of the reasons for the divorce. Marion and Guillaume seemed happy together, and pre-pandemic, they were seen together regularly. They have two children – a son, Marcel, who is around 14 years old, and a daughter, Louise, who is probably around eight years old. Well, Marion and Guillaume are done!

Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have reportedly ended their relationship after 18 years together. The Dark Knight Rises actress, 49, and the French film director, 52, announced their separation to the Agence France-Presse news agency, saying the purpose of their statement was “to avoid all speculation, rumors and risky interpretations,” Associated Press reported Friday, June 27.

Without citing a reason for the breakup, the former French couple said they were separating by “common accord” and with “mutual goodwill.”

PEOPLE was unable to reach Canet for a statement, and reps for Cotillard did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Cotillard and Canet starred opposite one another in 2003’s Love Me If You Dare and began dating in 2007.

Given the lack of photos of them post-2019, I kind of wonder if they’ve been loosely separated for a while. Maybe they just stopped going out in public together in recent years, but I do wonder. Anyway, Marion is a very talented actress and a complete nutcase, but she never seemed to have a particularly messy love life. She seemed to really love him and they kept their relationship pretty private. It’s interesting that they even released an announcement, but there could be some other factor at play which we’ll learn sometime soon. Like, one of them has a new lover or something and there are photos in one of the French papers. We’ll see.

Cesar Awards diane kruger Fashion Justine Triet Marion Cotillard Sandra Hüller

Sandra Huller, Justine Triet & ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ won big at the Cesar Awards

Anatomy of a Fall was one of my favorite films of the past year. I just loved it so much – such a complete film, such a great legal drama, so brilliantly acted by Sandra Huller, Swann Arlaud and Milo Machado Graner (who played the son). It feels like writer-director Justine Triet is currently a lock on the Original Screenplay Oscar, and Triet is also the only woman nominated in the directing category this year. It’s doubtful that she will win that, but as I said, she’ll probably win in screenplay. Well, AOAF wasn’t just a sleeper, word-of-mouth success in North America, it was also quite popular in France. And on Friday night, AOAF won a bunch of Cesar Awards, including Best Director, Best Actress, Best Film and Supporting Actor (for Swann).

Justine Triet became the second female filmmaker in the Cesar Award’s 49-year history to win the best director trophy for “Anatomy of a Fall,” which also won best film, original screenplay, actress for Sandra Huller, supporting actor for Swann Arlaud and editing at the French film industry’s big night. Thomas Cailley’s supernatural drama “The Animal Kingdom” also dominated the race, picking up a raft of prizes, including cinematography, costumes, visual effects and music. The ceremony unfolded at the Olympia Theater in Paris on Friday evening and aired lived on Canal .

Triet dedicated her best film award to all women, “those who feel trapped in their choices, in their solitude, those who exist too much and those who don’t exist enough, to those who were wounded and liberate themselves by speaking out.” She also paid tribute to the actresses that have shined in all her films, from Lætitia Dosch to Adele Exarchopoulos, Virginie Efira and Sandra Hüller.

Hüller made her acceptance speech in fluent French (which she said she learned for “Anatomy of a Fall”). “It’s not possible! I’m a German actress!” she exclaimed. Hüller said “the language, the origin was never an obstacle on the set (of ‘Anatomy of a Fall’) but rather a possibility. It should always be that way,” she said.

[From THR]

I love that the Cesars gave so much love to Triet, Huller and AOAF. They deserve it! I’m including the clip of Huller’s speech – her French sounded pretty good (to me at least).

“Mais ce n’est pas normal” ????

Fashion notes: Huller wore Louis Vuitton (a somewhat terrible pantsuit), Marion Cotillard wore Chanel and Diane Kruger wore Jean Paul Gaultier.

alicia vikander Cannes Fashion Gigi Hadid Jennifer Lawrence Marion Cotillard Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman wore a recreation of Dior’s 1949 ‘Junon’ dress in Cannes

Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore went to Cannes to premiere their new Todd Haynes film, May December. It’s apparently good? I love Todd Haynes anyway, so I’ll see it. For the big premiere, Portman wore this spectacular and iconic gown from Christian Dior. As in, the original “Junon” gown was actually designed by Christian Dior. The real dress from 1949 is in Dior’s archives, so they made Portman a beautiful replica with very few edits. It’s gorgeous, and it’s perfect on her, honestly. She also wore a snazzy Dior mini at the photocall.

Jennifer Lawrence is also stuck with Dior, and I guess she still has a contract with them? In any case, she wore this red Dior which… is kind of boring and I wish she could get out of this Dior rut. Obviously, Dior is perfectly capable of doing amazing looks for some people, just not J-Law.

Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton, with her husband Michael Fassbender. She’s an LV ambassador and, much like J-Law’s Dior contract, I don’t think LV gives Alicia their best pieces. This is a snooze.

Gigi Hadid in Zac Posen. Some people love Posen’s designs, but I find them overwrought and overworked. This might have looked better in a different color?

Marion Cotillard in Chanel. LOL, this look went viral over the weekend because the people in charge of Chanel really put Marion out there in the South of France in Daisy Dukes and a cardi. Tragique!!

Anne Hathaway Cannes Casey Affleck Idris Elba Marion Cotillard Sabrina Dhowre Tilda Swinton

Tilda Swinton wore a real Chanel gown in Cannes, no alien couture or anything

Here are some photos from the Cannes Film Festival on Friday. The big event/premiere was for Three Thousand Years of Longing, a George Miller film where Idris Elba plays a genie in a bottle and Tilda Swinton is the bookish professor who accidentally unleashes him. I would never have thought to put Idris and Tilda in a movie together, but here we are. At the premiere, Tilda wore Chanel. Idris looked dapper as hell.

Idris’s wife Sabrina Dhowre wore a custom Tony Ward gown and jewelry from Tiffany & Co. She looked STUNNING.

Bonus Tilda & Idris at the Saturday photocall. I wish I could wear comically oversized button-down shirts and just wander around the South of France.

Here’s Anne Hathaway at the Friday photocall for Armageddon Time. Her minidress is Gucci. She was trying to do a Bardot thing and it worked, although I hate those sunglasses!

Marion Cotillard wore a Chanel romper. From the front, I actually don’t hate this, but there are photos of Marion walking up the steps and half of her ass was hanging out. That’s why you don’t wear shorts to Cannes red carpets!

Casey Affleck, 46, and his 24-year-old girlfriend Caylee Cowan. My only comment is that she’s lovely and young and I hope she’s okay.

Marion Cotillard brought the denim-clad Sister Wife style to a Cannes premiere

Cannes Film Festival 2021 -

When in Cannes, expect the unexpected, fashion-wise at least. Marion Cotillard is a regular at Cannes and it’s like she saves up all of the wacky ensembles for this one film festival. These are photos of Marion at the De Son Vivant (Peaceful) premiere at Cannes. This Chanel gown is a lot. I actually like the color of the denim and I love the “print” on the denim. But the actual design and construction is straight-up Sister Wife, correct? Combined with Marion’s Michelle Duggar hair, she looks like she’s part of some French Mormon-breakaway cult led by a charismatic leader named Jeddhosaphah. I’d like to take this same printed denim and maybe make this into a sundress? That would be so much better.

Bonus Marion at one of her many photocalls… I’m assuming this is Chanel too. The overalls have a nice construction but this outfit is pretty terrible too.

Virginie Efira is Belgian and really beautiful. She wore a caped Dior to the Benedetta premiere. I generally find blondes-in-beige/off-white to be pretty boring but this is just the right shade and just the right dress. One of my favorite looks of the festival, honestly.

Jessica Chastain and Maggie Gyllenhaal attended the Chopard event at the festival. Jessica’s gown is Valentino, and Maggie’s Versace. Maggie loved her gown to several events, that’s how much she liked this one. As she should – it’s a great dress. I love Jessica in green but I loathe the cutouts on the side of the bodice.

Adèle Exarchopoulos in Fendi. I fear this would be me in Cannes: “Do you just have a simple pantsuit or something?” She looks over it. But chic.

Tina Kunakey (Mrs. Vincent Cassel) in Valentino at the Benedetta premiere. It was a big look and I enjoyed it!

Carla Bruni in a simple black column dress, looking chic. Look, the gown has pockets!!

Sean Penn is in Cannes to promote Ham-Face: The Musical! No, I jest. He’s promoting Flag Day, which is getting surprisingly great reviews. He directed the film and it’s based on a true story of a counterfeiter and con man (played by Sean Penn) and his relationship with his daughter, played by Sean’s real daughter Dylan Penn. Katheryn Winnick plays the mom – she wore Stella McCartney. Dylan wore Chanel.

Bella Hadid in Gaultier at the Cannes Film Festival opening night: stunning?

Bella Hadid attends the

The Cannes Film Festival is upon us, better late than never. Every year, Cannes is usually held in May, but after cancelling the in-person festival last year, organizers decided to simply push back this year’s festival until right now, the start of July. After several weak years and complaints that Cannes was “over,” everyone seems completely thrilled to be back on the Promenade de la Croisette. The first photocalls and the first premiere were held yesterday and it’s just so much fun to look at pretty people being pretty in interesting clothes. Speaking of, this is Bella Hadid in a Jean Paul Gaultier look from one of his 2002 collections. So, just shy of vintage. Still, she looked like she loved the gown and she really worked the red carpet.

Maggie Gyllenhaal wore a custom Celine which, honestly, is kind of a snooze? She looks amazing in bolder colors.

Speaking of bolder colors, here’s Helen Mirren, dripping in jewels and clothed in a saffron Dolce & Gabbana. She pulls off the color and the epic jewels, but the designers behind D&G are f–king terrible and people just need to stop wearing these clothes.

Jessica Chastain wore Dior. I wonder if this was her second choice after she spilled something on the first choice? This gown screams “back-up gown.”

Marion Cotillard wore Chanel Fall 2020 Couture. She really loves that kind of “fish scale” pattern, she’s always drawn to gowns like that. She’s posing with Angèle, who is so French Belgian that she makes thick bangs look chic.

Red Carpet 'Annette'

Jodie Foster is in Cannes to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. She looks incredible in every photo I’ve seen of her – she’s letting her grey hair come in and it looks so good. She also went with really simple silhouettes for her Cannes looks, like this custom Givenchy. Jodie brought her wife/partner Alexandra Hedison too!!
