The actor, who turned 50 this past June, came to talk about his latest movie. like an actressIn theaters on March 8 and the book We are stronger together. “The role has no age anymore. Is this the reason why so many women and so many actors disappear from the cinema at a certain age?asked Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine.

“I don’t know if that explains it, but it’s clear that there is research proving it today. In fact, there is an association established within an actor community called the ‘Women over 50 tunnel’. After 50 years, you enter a tunnel and presto, you disappear. There’s one out of every two women in society over 50, that’s still huge, 20%. In the media, it is only 7%.

We like new cars, I like Formula 1 cars, but I also like the good old Jaguar. You may also like old cars (…) At some point you have to accept yourself as you are, and if society doesn’t see or reject women over 50, it’s still a bit complicated.‘, concluded Julie Pretty.
