Marion Cotillard looked sickly as she filmed topless scenes for Jacques Audiard’s Rust and Bone in the South of France on Wednesday. Her seemingly close to death really put a damper on these pictures. It’s like she isn’t even trying to make these photos look erotic. She’s so selfish.

Three NSFW photos here, here and here.

Penelope Cruz spoke with Marion Cotillard for Interview Magazine about why she became an actress, what her obsession with Pedro Almodóvar is and how she based her role in Nine on The Pink Panther.

COTILLARD: How do you prepare? I know that for Nine, you watched a lot of Italian movies.

CRUZ: Yes, I watched a lot of Italian movies and also movies with Italian actors working in English, because I had to do an Italian accent. I’ve played an Italian before, but in that film I was speaking Italian, so this was the first time doing English with an Italian accent. I also watched a lot of musicals. And then for my character, Carla, one of my little secrets is that she made me think about the Pink Panther—for some reason, that’s the image I was getting.

COTILLARD: That was your inspiration for Carla?

CRUZ: It was one of them. Because I think she’s a little bit goofy—not that she tries to be funny, but something is a little bit off about her. And at the same time, I wanted to have an image for the musical number. The musical number had to be sexy, and thinking about the Pink Panther would help me get into the mood. But I never told that to anybody! When I was climbing the ropes to the ceiling, all I could think about was the Pink Panther.

She also says she always starts kissing Meryl Streep when she sees her at awards ceremonies. Which is a little awkward. For me. Because my penis is really confused right now.

COTILLARD: I have a question that might be four questions in one. What inspires you—as an actress and as a woman? Because I guess those are sometimes different inspirations.

CRUZ: Yes, yes. As an actress, I really love people like Anna Magnani and Debra Winger. I also think there is nobody better than Meryl Streep. I watch her movies over and over again—I saw Silkwood [1983] again a couple of weeks ago, and it made me just want to kiss her feet. We only know each other from seeing each other at awards ceremonies or those kinds of events, but whenever I see her, I always go up to her and start kissing her. I don’t even say anything—I just kiss her. She must think I’m some crazy person. [both laugh] And then, from the women in my life, I have to say that I have a very special relationship with my mother. She had me when she was 21,
so she was very young. I’ve always been able to talk to her about everything. Since I was a little girl, nothing was taboo in my house. She’s been the person who I’ve looked to for inspiration for many of the characters that Pedro writes because she’s really a force of nature. She’s very strong.

Yes, yes. It’s all coming together. Step 1: Dress up as Meryl Streep. Step 2: Show up at an awards ceremony that Penelope Cruz is attending. Step 3: Attempt to hide my erection while Penelope Cruz makes out with me. It’s so easy!

Marion Cotillard hit up Corsica last week and she sure does have a nice body. I guess you have to when you’re always topless because who want’s to see a fatty without her bra on? That’s gross. You might as well stab your eyes out if that ever happens. That’s what I like to pretend to do at the beach. You know, just in case their self-esteem isn’t at an all time low already.

Best actress Oscar winner, Marion Cotillard, is really into conspiracies. Last year on a French radio program, she suggests that the 9/11 attacks were done by America itself to cut down on expenses for rebuilding the towers. Now she’s backtracking and claims the comments were taken out of context. Uh, yea sure.

“We see other towers of the same kind hit by planes. Are they burned?” Cotillard had said in the interview. “There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, that burnt for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed.”

Expanding her conspiracy theory, Cotillard said it would have been “a lot more expensive” to rebuild the towers “which is why they were destroyed”, with the loss of thousands of American lives.

She also believes the moon landing was fake.

“Did a man really walk on the Moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered. And in any case I don’t believe all they tell me, that’s for sure.”

Obviously, she’s right. Another thing the the government is keeping from us is that the moon is actually made of cheese. The reason why we make trips there is to replenish our dwindling supply. You think cheese actually comes from cows? Ha! Freak. Find me a Monterey Jack cow. I dare you.

I’ve always wondered whether the people who vote for who wins the Oscar for Best Actress are actually horny, old dudes sitting in their personal dark rooms trying to figure out which movie they can whack off more to. I had a feeling this was the case when Halle Berry won for Monster’s Ball. This was confirmed last Sunday when Marion Cotillard won an Oscar for La Vie En Rose. These same old dudes probably have a comped subscription to Mr. Skin because I’m 90% sure they rented her other movies and whacked off to them too. That or they browsed Daily Motion for Marion Cotillard nude like me. So if your goal is to be one of the secret voters for the Oscars, I suggest you watch these two NSFW videos of Marion Cottilard naked. Here and here.
