Cotillard: I like mixing it up

Marion Cotillard stars in the film Rust And Bone

Marion Cotillard feels lucky to be able to make movies in both Hollywood and her native France.

The actress - who is being tipped for a second Oscar for her performance in new French film Rust And Bone - has managed to switch between English-language movies and those in her mother tongue since starring in the 2007 hit La Vie En Rose.

She revealed: "I'm very happy and I feel very lucky to have the possibility and opportunity to work in two countries that really built my desire to be an actress.

"When I was a kid, I watched a lot of American movies and even though I never thought I would have the opportunity to work in the US, their movies are part of my culture so I feel blessed."

Marion plays an orca whale trainer at a water park who is mutilated in a horrific work accident in Rust And Bone, from the writer-director Jacques Audiard.

She paid tribute to the "genius" filmmaker.

"Amazing is not enough," she added.
