In her last filmed interview, Brigitte Bardot explained why she gave up her film career. “I always preferred to give up before someone gave up on me. In my life, it’s always been like that.”
“With cinema, I no longer felt good. I had the impression that I was going downhill, that there were no longer any good stories, good scripts, good dialogues. There were no longer any good directors,” he says. “That’s how I made the decision to stop.”
The interview also resulted in some controversial statements. “Feminism is not my thing,” Brigitte Bardot said in the same conversation. “I really like boys,” he explained.
In the interview with BFM TV, she also condemned sport hunting in France.
Saying that she does not identify with feminism, she concluded by stating that she “really likes boys.”
The interviewer responded by saying that you could like boys and be a feminist, which the actress denied.
“Look what’s happening now. With Nicolas Bedos, with (Gérard) Depardieu. Talented and fantastic people.”
Bardot defended actors accused of sexual assault, including Gérard Depardieu, and said they should be able to “return their lives.”
The actress also defended French actor and director Nicolas Bedos, convicted in October 2024 of sexual assault on two women.
Brigitte Bardot, who has died aged 91, stayed out of the spotlight at the end of her life and focused on animal rights activism. Her death was confirmed this Sunday by the foundation that bears the actress’s name.
In the interview, the actress, dedicated to the cause of animal rights, also condemned sport hunting in France.
“It’s a horror. After 50 years of unanswered demands, the French government must grant me at least this victory: the abolition, forever, of sport hunting in France. We are the last country in Europe to practice this despicable thing,” he declared.
The animal cause begins to play a preponderant role in his life. In an interview with Le Monde in 2018, Bardot said she felt like an animal and rejected the human species.
“They are an arrogant, bloodthirsty species, and that hurt me deeply. I was very young when I saw the movie “Snow White”, my eyes shone with admiration, and I think that dream has stayed with me ever since. Living in a small house, surrounded by a crowd of animals… Basically, that’s kind of what I do today.”
