Mélanie Laurent(I)

Did not learn, nor understand or speak, any English until the filming of Le commando des bâtards (2009).

When I read the script of Le commando des bâtards (2009), I was like, wow, it's been my dream to kill [Adolf Hitler] since I was like four, so I was kind of like Shosanna, already. I'm Jewish. I read the script, together with my grandfather, and he told me, "You have to make that movie, please". So, it was not just for me, it was for my family.
