Marion Cotillard doesn't want her son to beecome a great actor.
Though the 'Inception' star would have no problem with Marcel, her 21 month old son with partner Guillaume Canet, following in her footsteps, she thinks the best actors have a failure or fault within them that allows them to do well, and she doesn't want him to have such problems.
She said: "An actor has a huge failure in him. And this is not a weakness - this can make you strong. But it's deep. Maybe failure is not the right word. Something deep inside which is broken. And most of the time I think if you don't have this, you're not a good actor. So it's kind of a struggle. I mean, if my son wants to be an actor, it's fine.To be a great actor, you must have this. And I don't want him to have it!"
The 38 year-old beauty admitted she has never asked her own parents, who were both actors whether they had any concerns about her becoming an actress.
She told Interview magazine: "Ah, it's an amazing job, but my parents never told me anything about how hard the job would be. My parents were actors too. I don't even know if when I wanted to be an actress, they went, 'Oh s**t'. I must ask them."
