Berenice Marlohe
At the moment she has risen to the “sky” of fame thanks to James Bond, and what this beautiful woman with exotic features called Bérénice Marlohe must do is not to fall, to avoid “fall”.
Bérénice Marlohe was born in Paris, France, on May 19, 1979, to a Cambodian father and a French mother, which gives her unique exotic traits, a Sophie Marceau with oriental features, one would say. Passionate about art, she was trained in this discipline at university, although her beauty quickly turned her into a model, while an acting agent thought about her possibilities to become an actress.
Since 2008 she has been present in television series in her country, but almost always with episodic characters, the case of Pas de secrets entre nous , Femmes de loi or Père et maire . Only in the hospital series Équipe médicale d’urgence did she have a character whose presence lasted four episodes, less than a stone. As for the cinema, she did not even appear credited in Happiness Never Comes Alone (2012), and her role in The Art of Seduction (2011) was not something to write home about either.
Thus, it is clear that his opportunity has come from the hand of Bond, James Bond, where he shines with all his beauty. His role is once again small, but it is clear that he can open some doors for bigger compositions. Daniel Craig said of her and Naomie Harris , the other Bond girl in Skyfall , that they are “two exceptionally beautiful women and also two very serious and intelligent and hard-working actresses.” It’s true that what she does isn’t exactly Shakespearean, but Marlohe holds her own, and she delivers what is asked of her.
On her selection for the role of Sévérine in Skyfall , Sam Mendes says: “If I could have invented a Bond girl, it would be Bérénice. She wanted to find someone who would fill in all the classic components of a Bond girl: voluptuous, sexy, a woman and not a girl, mysterious. Bérénice is from Cambodia and France. She brings that mystery. And she just so happens to be a fantastic actress.”
Now, while promoting Skyfall , she can boast that she has already been noticed by a filmmaker with an enigmatic band, Terrence Malick himself , who has claimed her for a still untitled film along with actors such as Christian Bale , Cate Blanchett , Ryan Gosling , Michael Fassbender and Natalie Portman , among others. As long as her contribution doesn’t stay on the editing table, something that with Malick is not impossible, it may be the definitive springboard that boosts his acting career.
