Laetitia Casta biography

Zouzou

May 11, 1978
Laetitia Casta, was born on May 11, 1978 in Pont-Audemer in Normandy, the full name is Laetitia Marie Laurie, but few people know that friends and acquaintances is for all Zouzou. The family is native to the island of Corsica, but some also reside in Italy roots. His paternal grandfather, Ranger, was transferred to Normandy from Lumio. His maternal grandfather was the Shoemaker to Mack, in Tuscany. Laetitia then has an older brother named Jean-Baptiste and a younger sister named Marie-Ange. Her dizzying career happen by chance. Laetitia is a simple girl and somewhat introverted, unaccustomed to the exhibition of itself. Never would have thought, in his heart, who would become one of the most appreciated beauty and paid on the planet. Instead, in 1993, while holidaying in Lumio first wins a beauty contest in which it participates as a joke and then a few days later, she was noticed on the beach by a talent scout in the Madison Agency.
Since then, thanks to a skillful use of his image, which has always played on a mix of naivete and sensuality, posed for more than 80 magazine covers. Laetitia however is not content to just make the model, the "beautiful figurine" smiling at the photographer to finish on the glossy pages of magazines around the world, but demands more from his career. Of course, the beautiful model thinks about cinema, his secret dream. Laetitia wait an engaging story, a character who is able to exploit the vast interiority, riskily blurred by the splendor of his public image. In this sense, early years in front of the camera are lower than its expectations, although it has the opportunity to begin the great, that is participating in a major international production, that "Asterix and Obelix against Caesar", filmed in 1999, in which they are a part of Falbala.
Great is the wonder of seeing a beauty so seemingly unattainable in a comic movie adapted from a comic but Laetitia is so light years away of the idea of "diva" (meaning worse). The proof came in 2001, when the Director Raul Ruiz the ages in the movie being shown at Cannes, "Les Ames fortes". Finally seems to be fulfilling his dream of becoming an actress. The movie has a warm welcome but the real triumph grasps on the small screen when the year after the miniseries airs the "blue bicycle", in which the French model has a very intense and difficult role. His unquestioned television success was the participation as valletta at the Sanremo Festival, where his broken Italian and its transparent shyness have aroused deep tenderness in all viewers (Annals will remain then her dance on the stage of the Ariston with Nobel Laureate Renato Dulbecco, who was also one of the outstanding artists of that edition of Sanremo). Apart from these his rare forays into the world of Tv, you can tell that by now Laetitia is an actress.
Recently, another important Director, Patrice Leconte wanted to "Rue des plaisirs", in which she portrayed the difficult role of a prostitute, reflecting the credibility that has earned it. A particular fact and curious has involved recently: in 2000 the mayors of France have chosen it as "Marianna" of the year 2000, that is, as a model for the bust that symbolises the French Republic. The same honor was already touched in the past only to Brigitte Bardot (1969), Mireille Mathieu (1978) and Catherine Deneuve. Moreover, recently became a mother of Sahteene, his first and so far only daughter. The father is the photographer Stephane Sednaoui but later separated. Romantically linked with Italian actor Stefano Accorsi, the couple comes Orlando in September 2006. In the same year, says for the first time next to the companion in the movie "La jeune fille et les loups", by Gilles Legrand (film not distributed in Italy). In 2009 she gave birth to the third daughter, Laetitia Athena. After separating from husband Italian at the end of 2013, finds a new mate; and in 2014 returns to Italy to work alongside Fabio Fazio to conduction of the 2014 Edition of the Sanremo Festival, 15 years after its first similar experience.
