Anna Biolay: biography, news, photos and videos
Anna Biolay is a French actress born on April 22, 2003 in Paris. Her career in the seventh art began in 2020, at only 17 years old.
Anna Biolay: Cinema as Destiny
Anna Biolay is particularly known for her family. Indeed, she is none other than the girl of the singer and actor Benjamin Biolay and the actress Chiara MastroianniAnd the girl of Catherine Deneuve and the Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni.
With a family largely involved in the cinematographic landscape, it is difficult to imagine any other destiny for the young girl.
Although she was long protected from the media, particularly celebrity media, during her youth, Chiara Mastroianni's daughter is timidly beginning to follow in her parents' footsteps and discover the world of the seventh art.
In 2020, she took her first steps on the big screen and distinguished herself in the dramatic-romantic TV film Buckshot by Laetitia Masson, where she shares the bill with Elodie Bouchez and Aurore Clément. She plays the character of Billie.
Later, we also find her in the project signed Nicolas Cuche, Life, love, right now, where she plays opposite Anne Marivin.
In 2022, she also made an appearance in the TV movie Captain Marleau.
But it is in 2023 that the young woman takes a step up in terms of cinema. She joins the cast of the feature film Rosalie by Stéphanie Di Giusto. A production that brings together big names in French cinema such as Benoît Magimel, Nadia Tereszkiewicz, and Benjamin Biolay. She lends her features to the character of Jeanne.
A career start that got off to a flying start for the budding actress, who also made her first climb up the steps of the Cannes film festival this month of May 2023: the feature film Rosalie part of the official selection of this 76th ceremony.
Anna Biolay: a born singer?
In addition to a talent for comedy, it seems that Anna Biolay also inherited the gift of a singer. According to his father's confessions in an interview for TV Starshe is “a born singer”.
In 2020, she participated anonymously in the album produced by Benjamin Biolay, entitled Grand Prix (in homage to the pilot Jules Bianchi). She will use the pseudonym of Bambi.
Despite this, it seems that the young artist prefers to focus on the seventh art rather than on the world of song. But nothing is impossible.
Cannes Film Festival 2023: A complicated first for Anna Biolay
While, as previously stated, Anna Biolay was climbing the highly prized steps of the Cannes Film Festival Palace for the first time, not everything went as well as expected on the Croisette.
In fact, while she was walking the red carpet with the entire film crew Rosaliethe actress was victim of harsh criticism a few minutes after its appearance. Considered as “daughter of”, many Internet users have allowed themselves to criticize And harass the artist on various social networks. But the aggression was not limited to his genetic heritage, the artist also saw himself become victim of fatphobia and others mockery of his physique.
A wave of hatred that pushed his family to quickly step up to the plate. His aunt, Coralie Biolaya singer, was one of the first to speak out and report the harassment suffered by her niece in an Instagram post:
For the past 24 long hours, my 20-year-old niece has been reading absolute horrors about her. In addition to being “the daughter of” and moreover having no talent and not having to work (obviously!), she reads that she looks like a dog, or even like a severely disabled person… in other words that she is fat and ugly and that she has no place in the French cinematographic landscape.
I look at her, beautiful as the day before me, incredibly kind, intelligent and clear-sighted for her age, and I see how this ultra-sensitive young woman suffers from reading such volleys of meanness and hatred when the only thing she has done is to be part of the cast of a good film thanks to her work and her determination and her undeniable talent (it is absolutely necessary!) She does not take anyone's place. I am shocked to see what mothers can write on social networks, to what extent bitterness can lead to the worst in human beings.
