Camille Cottin Facts
- She was raised in Paris and London. At the age of 12, she had relocated to London with her mother, little sister, and stepfather. Camille spent her teenage years there and went back to Paris when she was 17 years old, in order to study. She had then worked as a high school English teacher in France, during which, she had simultaneously taken classes at a theatre as well as a dramatic art school, and then with the company named Théâtre du Voyageur.
- It was in 2013 that the edgy hidden-camera prank program Connasse brought her to the attention of her nation. Cottin used to film 90-second comedy sketches of herself behaving inappropriately with the public, that were broadcast twice a week on Canal+. Connasse was the ideal format for sharing on social media and the episodes kept going viral that led to Cottin becoming a household name in no time.
- Camille has recollected a catch she had experienced with Connasse. Her performance on it would feel so real to audiences that there would arise confusion regarding her real and dramatic personas, and people began to get suspicious and cautious of her. The filming used to be done with concealed cameras and people did not understand that she was merely acting. Camille had been surprised to notice that even in the TV and film industry, people took her to be the senseless evil woman and Camille had started to feel as if she was the only person who knew that she was only a professional actor playing the part of a clown.
