French actress Marion Cotillard deserves a medal for her blunt honesty. In a new interview, Marion says she would love to do some charity work but doesn’t have enough time to devote herself fully to a cause so it would be a waste of time. She says that often celebrities who do try to do charity work don’t actually end up helping anyone or changing anything because they simply don’t have the time:
”I’ve thought a lot about whether it really changes something if I speak for a cause or an organisation. Does it help? Is it worth it? Wangari Maathai, Aung San Suu Kyi, Mandela – they change things. But actors and celebrities? I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I don’t give enough time to people I support. Sometimes I feel like I should choose between being an actress and having the life I have and supporting a cause that needs all the time we have.”
Marion also reveals that she has often felt anxious, especially when she was younger, but she has since met people who have made her feel comfortable in her own skin, and this has allowed her to relax and “make peace with herself”:
”I had my own world and wasn’t very happy. I was not a very sociable kid. That was my personality. I was very sensitive. I’ve finally made peace with myself. I’ve met amazing people who gave me the keys to make peace with myself.”
