French actress Audrey Tautou is worried she has chosen the wrong career because her introvert personality clashes with celebrity life. The Da Vinci Code star shot to international fame with the bittersweet 2001 hit Amelie but the frenzied attention she garnered has left her disillusioned with the job.
According to Ireland Online, she says: “I’m a bit stubborn about not wanting to live like a celebrity and not going to film premieres and spending time with other actors. I’m still not that self-confident as a person and I don’t really expose my emotions and feelings. I’m not an open book. I’m very private.”
“I suppose I’m in the wrong profession! I don’t think I’m made for this kind of life.”

Audrey Tautou knew she was getting into the biggest film of her career. She did not know she was getting into one of the biggest — and most debated — of her generation. Although she enjoyed the Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code, she did not consider auditioning for the role of Neveu at first. “I thought this character had my strong-mindedness but it didn’t go further than that. And, being 27, I thought that Sophie was older.”
Luckily, the persistence of the film’s director, Ron Howard, to cast her prevailed and Tautou quickly found herself acting with Tom Hanks in the hallways of the Louvre.
“They called me almost at the end of casting. They had seen many actresses before me and I thought that they would never call me because I was too young, too little, you know?” the petite Tautou said. “So I’m always surprised when I have some extraordinary experience, and I was surprised when Ron called me to let me know I had the part.”

Like millions of others, Tautou had read Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” early on, devouring it while on a vacation. Tautou had a Catholic school education but says her religious beliefs now are “lazy. I have faith, but it’s not focused on the Bible.” So the theories the book spins about the origins of Christianity, and particularly the notion that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene may have been married and had a child, did not bother Tautou the way it did many Christians.
The possibility that Christ was a family man is one of many intriguing speculations out of Christian history, such as whether the Immaculate Conception really happened or whether Christ was an only child, Tautou said.
Tautou figures it’s a small minority that took offence, “We’ve been talking about this controversy, and I haven’t seen anything. I think it’s just a few little people, very radical, who speak very loudly.”
“Each time you make a movie about religion, there’s a controversy, because even if we are in countries where there is supposed to be freedom of expression, for some radical people it’s a condition that you can be free to speak about everything except religion.”

Tautou first gained worldwide recognition with her star-making turn in the film Amelie, in which she sported a smile that stirred the hearts of romantics all over the world. But she also found herself pigeonholed in the industry because of Amelie, a lovable character whom her fans did not want her to break out of.
After that, Tautou has focused her career mostly in her home country, though she also gained worldwide attention with Stephen Frears’ London thriller “Dirty Pretty Things” and “Amelie” director Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s World War I saga “A Very Long Engagement.”
