Actress Astrid Bergé-Frisby admits that she sees the world in pink – as if through a bottle of Valentino Donna perfume, which she now represents.
Throughout her adolescence, Astrid Berger-Frisby told everyone that she wanted to become an osteopath, and secretly dreamed of a career as an actress. But after the sudden death of her beloved father, she realized: life is too short to neglect your dreams. Half Spanish, half French, the girl entered the Parisian theater school, conquering the admissions committee with her bright appearance and charisma. And she proved that they believed in her not in vain. Director Rob Marshall personally selected her for the role of the mysterious mermaid in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Two years ago, playing the muse of a biologist in the film I Am the Beginning, Astrid impressed the jury at the Sundance Film Festival. The actress turns XNUMX this year. She celebrates her anniversary with a starring role in the high-profile premiere of Knights of the Round Table: King Arthur and a contract with Valentino.

About languages
“I speak French, Spanish, Catalan, and a few years ago I learned English for the role of a mermaid in Pirates of the Caribbean. It was not easy on the set at first, but Penelope Cruz saved me – she was my translator more than once in conversations with Johnny Depp and Rob Marshall.
About my own style
“When acting in films, I always discuss with the director the clothes of my heroine. This helps to better understand her character. In life, I appreciate comfort and dress rather inconspicuously. Most often I go out into the street in a white T-shirt, jeans and an old tweed jacket that I got from my mother. It was part of her uniform as a seamstress in a Parisian atelier, but he looks insanely stylish. And I don’t carry bags at all – I stuff the necessary things into my pockets. ”
About fashion
“Despite the fact that my mother worked for the haute couture brand, I was never interested in fashion. But the work of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli for Valentino delights me. Each of their collections is a dedication to opera, great paintings and artists. And what a colossal work they do, inventing embroidered silk dresses!
About beauty secrets
“After long flights and filming late into the night, a jade face roller bought from a Chinese store saves me. I take it out of the refrigerator, a couple of minutes of relaxing massage – and even a blush appears on my cheeks.
With aromas
“I don’t believe in momentary perfumes that quickly go out of fashion. I am a fan of fragrances that you choose once and for life. I think Valentino Donna is a new classic. At the first breath, its flair seems strict and classic, due to notes of rose and iris, but then they blend with the warmth of vanilla and the softness of leather. And the finale of the fragrance is unforgettable!”
