Is it just one step from Connasse to Cannes for Camille Cottin? Long before this cult series in the French audiovisual panorama, the actress had already proven herself, but it was precisely this laugh-out-loud role that made her popularity explode, bringing her to Hollywood cinema. On March 14, 2024, The Parisian has revealed that she will be the master of ceremonies for the opening and closing nights of the Cannes Film Festival which will take place from 15 to 25 May 2024. Another recognition!
Camille Cottin, master of ceremonies of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival
While the American actress, screenwriter and director Greta Gerwig will preside over the jury of this 77th edition of the largest film festival in the world, Camille Cottin will open and close it.
Born in Paris in 1978, she spent five years in England as a teenager which allowed her to become an English teacher in a high school in the capital, while developing a passion for theater and her education in it. After some time on stage, she played her first film role in Yamakasi (2001) by Ariel Zeitoun. He multiplies roles on TV, while acting in the theater, particularly under the direction of Pierre Palmade. But it was obviously Connasse who brought her fame starting in 2013. Since then she has played a series of roles for French cinema, such as her in The Gazelles (2014) with Audrey Fleurot and Camille Chamoux, First time (2015) with Pio Marmaï and Franck Gastambide, or also Bitch, princess of hearts (2015). From 2015 to 2020, she played the role of the charismatic protagonist agent Andréa in the series Ten percent.
In addition to French cinema, Camille Cottin is also making a name for herself internationally as she stars alongside Matt Damon in Still water (2021), with Lady Gaga and Adam Driver in Gucci House (2021) by Ridley Scott, or even Tina Fey in Mystery in Venice (2023). There is no doubt that this new role as master of ceremonies at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival will suit Camille Cottin perfectly.
