Why?

Because I grew up with her, that girl is smart and serious part of me. Sometimes I even dream of it, imagine the adventures of him. It’s very hard to take time off from the world of Harry Potter. It was my family, we lived together. Daniel Radcliffe is an adorable boy, generous, energetic. It’s quite strange, but the complicity that リンク Harry, Ron and Hermione were reflected in real life.

Yes, it was both funny and tragic as it is the evocation of the last film of Marilyn Monroe. Playing with Kenneth Branagh and Michelle Williams threw me in a very adult world, this time.

It was based, like Ava Gardner, the two greatest beauty of the golden age of Hollywood. All sex appeal, this glamorous bluff me. But I feel closer to 女優 natural, human, and especially as Natalie Portman Julia Roberts.
