The Artist's Bérénice Bejo On Jean Dujardin, Her Husband Michel Hazanavicius

Bérénice Bejo doesn't say a word in The Artist, the silent French film directed by her husband, Michel Hazanavicius. But now Bejo is speaking up about her Golden Globe-nominated performance that has everyone saying "ooh la la."

Bejo was born in Argentina and moved to Paris when she was three. She has been in various French films and television shows since she was 17, but her first American debut was her role alongside Heath Ledger in A Knight’s Tale (2001). Ten years later, she stars in her second American film, as the vivacious and beloved dancing silent film actress, Peppy Miller, who gradually upstages her more experienced co-star, George Valentin (Jean Dujardin). Bejo met Hazanavicius while acting in his film, OSS: 117 Cairo, Nest Of Spies, and together they have two children.

In many ways, Bejo identified with her character in The Artist. “What I really like about Peppy,” she tells Uinterview exclusively, “is the way she never takes herself seriously and just enjoys every moment.”
