After a successful year in 2024 with the comedy Bis Repetita, French actress Louise Bourgoin is set to return to the big screen with the upcoming film Je le jure, directed by Samuel Theis. The film, which revolves around a high-stakes trial, also stars notable actors Marina Foïs and Micha Lescot. This marks a significant return for Bourgoin, a beloved actress of her generation, who has captivated audiences since her days as Miss Météo on the Grand Journal from 2006 to 2009.
The 43-year-old actress, who hails from Rennes, has continued to thrive in the film industry, taking on roles since the early 2010s. Her career trajectory has been impressive, showcasing her versatility in various genres. Recently, she made headlines not just for her artistic endeavors but also for insights shared about her personal life and struggles.
During a recent appearance on the show Le beau geste, aired over the weekend of March 15-16, 2025, Bourgoin opened up about her hypersensitivity. She revealed, “I was hypersensitive, so I cried every day, for nothing.” This candid admission comes as part of a broader discussion about her emotional landscape and its impact on her family, particularly as she has noticed similar traits in her sons.
“I have one of my sons who is very sensitive too, so... In fact, we feel a little inadequate and slightly out of sync all the time compared to others,” Bourgoin shared, illustrating the challenges of navigating such emotions while raising children. Her reflections present a rarely seen side of the actress, who typically keeps her family life private.
Louise Bourgoin's journey in parenthood has included raising her two sons: Étienne, born in 2016, with musician Tepr (whose real name is Tanguy Destable) and Vadim, born in 2020. The couple was together until their separation in 2023. Despite the end of her relationship with the father of her children, Bourgoin has continued to flourish both personally and professionally.
The actress has also recently acquired a new apartment in a popular Paris neighborhood, signifying a fresh chapter in her life. Though she rarely speaks publicly about her family, her recent disclosures offer a glimpse into how her emotional experiences shape her roles on screen.
“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to understand that it's a strength. There’s intellectual quotient, but there’s also emotional quotient, and it’s incredibly important,” she explained, remarking on how her hypersensitivity has enabled her to channel these emotions into her work. “I do the ideal job to channel all this, to organize it... It helps with my profession and also, certainly when acting in films, to use that as an outlet.”
Bourgoin's reflections present not only her professional accomplishments but also a testament to how personal experiences can inform creative expression. As she prepares for the release of Je le jure, audiences are reminded of her incredible journey and resilience, both in art and life.
The recent discussions around her hypersensitivity shed light on a broader conversation about emotional intelligence in the performing arts, illustrating how personal attributes can enhance the authenticity of artistic endeavors. Louise Bourgoin stands as a figure who not only embodies talent but also encapsulates the rich emotional experiences that inform her craft.
As the actress continues to navigate her role as a mother and an artist, viewers can look forward to seeing how these insights will further enrich her performances on screen. With her enduring popularity and upcoming projects, Bourgoin remains a prominent name in contemporary French cinema.
