Entre les actrices et le shooting beauté, ce n’est pas toujours l’amour fou… Sauf quand celui-ci prend des airs de plateau de cinéma. Anaïs Demoustier a ainsi eu beaucoup de plaisir à se glisser dans la peau de Twiggy, icône des années 1960. «J’aime voyager à travers les époques et j’apprécie de plus en plus les films qui s’éloignent de la réalité et se décalent du naturalisme. Cela offre une liberté dans le jeu qui est extrêmement ludique»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»», dit-elle. Celle qui a démarré chez Michael Haneke à 13 ans s’autorise désormais à jouer dans des comédies, assouvissant son envie de rôles décalés chez Quentin Dupieux (Incroyable mais vrai ) ou dans l’univers loufoque d’Antonin Peretjatko (La Pièce rapportée, sortie le 1er décembre). Pour contrebalancer ces multiples changements d’apparence, elle a choisi de jouer au quotidien la carte de la simplicité et du naturel. À 34 ans, la pétillante brunette (Anaïs Demoustier n’a été rousse que pour un film) assume son allure no make up, son style boyish parisien, et a fini par accepter ses tâches de rousseur. Une fraîcheur, une énergie et une authenticité qui continueront d’emmener l’actrice vers de nombreuses autres transformations.
"I have an unsuspected power"
"I am always enthusiastic about the idea of singing in a film, as I did for dear Léa, by Jérôme Bonnell.My dream would be to play in a musical.I started singing, child, to treat a nodule on my vocal cords and I discovered that I had great vocal power.Despite my small silhouette, I apparently have the voice of a corpulous woman, and my trunk has become a kind of support in life.It’s very nice to experience unsuspected power!I find the liberating song, and if I launched myself into the creation of an album, I would like to write the songs myself.I wouldn't interest me to be an interpreter, because it would send me back in the same place as that of actress.If I make music, I would like to be more involved.»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
"I am hypersensitive, but not fragile"
"When I was little, my parents were summoned because I was crying hot tears when a comrade was scolded ...!I hated conflict, and this empathy never left me.I have an important sensitivity which is, in my opinion, essential to the profession of actor, but I would not want us to be mistaken on hypersensitivity, which suggests that we are a little fragile, on the edge of skin.On the contrary, I feel strong, and what interests me most in cinema is human nature, the behavior of people.It makes me very observer.»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
On video, from brushing yé-yé to hippie lengths
"I am no longer a kid"
"I grew up in a family in which I did not make waves;I was well raised and I was not going to the conflict.As I get older, I more easily assume my choices and my opinions.I know that some anger is healthy, that some conflicts must take place, and that oppose your point of view to others is not necessarily bad.So I can get upset if I don't have the right to express myself.Being infantilized can also make me angry.As I started this very young job, some have the feeling that I am still the kid they have known.Just like in my personal life, I can't stand not being considered a woman.I am 34 years old, I am a mom, I no longer need to be explained to me.»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
"I was the good sports girlfriend"
"As I have always been younger than my age, I quickly understood that I will not enter the box of" pretty girls ", but rather in that of the good sports girlfriend.I was doing a lot of tennis, dance, I did not play my femininity.Even today, I don't really have the reflex to wear heels on a daily basis.I allow myself to play the men's menu, I love Diane Keaton's style in Woody Allen's films, for example.On a red carpet, I try to stay closest to my personality.Knowing that the exercise of photocall is not natural, I try to fulfill this mission by finding a look that looks like me.I try not to get lost in codes, but rather to cultivate my style, my singularity.»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»

"I am addicted to natural products"
"As I learned to make up on the shooting sets, I kept all the little tips of the pros.I learned, for example, that I always had to blur, blur the features on my eyes.I inherited my mother's very pure side (she has always had the same face cream, and impeccable lifestyle) and became a real addict to natural products.My sisters and my friends make fun of me on this subject!I do plantar reflexology and acupuncture to rebalance and rearmonize my body, which stores a lot.We, the actors, live strong energy movements, linked to the changes of characters, and I find it essential to come back to myself when I need it.It also goes through sport: I run, I got back to tennis and I do Pilates with a teacher from the M studio, who invented a method with machines called Garuda.And I am episodically offering massages, preferably tonic, at Ban Thai in Paris.»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
"I find Neymar sublime"
"When I evoke pure beauty in actresses, I think of Penélope Cruz, Marine Vacth and Golshifteh Farahani.Women opposed to what I am (laughs)!These are powerful beauties, with characters, that make everyone agree.I realize that women I find beautiful have something wild, almost animal in them.On the men's side, I am quite cheesy and remains blocked on Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic.Despite his candor and his freshness in the film, we felt a great virility at home.Otherwise, I would say that tennis player Stéfanos Tsitsipás is an Apollo;A Greek statue that could be exposed in Rome.And, in a different genre, I associate Neymar with a leopard.I find it sublime, and it is physically my idol.I do not put myself so much in this kind of category that I look at them a bit as if I were in the museum ...!
