Marion Cotillard

Marion Cotillard

Marion Cotillard has called 2013 her ‘year of prostitution’.

The Oscar winning actress has worked on two movies this year, The Immigrant and Blood Ties, playing a prostituted on both occasions.

The Immigrant is the latest film from director James Gray and sees Cotillard team up with Jeremy Renner and Joaquin Phoenix. While Blood Ties sees her work with partner Guillaume Canet.

Speaking to Le Figaro newspaper the actress said: "[The characters] prostitute themselves in order to survive. Both films took place at around the same time.

“Between that and the music video shot I for David Bowie, 'The Next Day', this year has kind of been my year of prostitution!"

And while Blood Ties sees Cotillard working with her boyfriend, she says she had no problems taking orders from the filmmaker.

"We communicate. We inspire each other. Actually, it was me who had the idea that Monica, my character, could be Italian. Guillaume thought it was a good idea. That was before I remembered I can't speak a word of Italian..."

Cotillard has also completed work on Two Days, One Night and is currently lending her voice to animation movie The Little Prince.
