On the occasion of her return to the stage, Marina Foïs was the guest of Léa Salamé, on France Inter, Wednesday, January 15, 2025. She is preparing to perform the play written and directed by Christophe Honoré, called Les Idoles, which looks back on the 80s-90s and AIDS which is wreaking havoc.

During the interview, Léa Salamé wanted to come back to a recent revelation from her guest, who explained having suffered from body dysmorphic disorder. This is a preoccupation with perceived defects in physical appearance that are not apparent or appear slight to other people. The concern with appearance must cause clinically significant distress or impaired functioning.

Marina Foïs does not understand why she spoke of an intimate subject about her

“You had trouble loving your body ?“, Léa Salamé asked her. “Like many young girls and actress, I suffered from anorexia nervosa, but well…“, replied Marina Foïs who did not seem at all comfortable with this subject and this question. The 54-year-old actress does not seem very proud to have made this old confidence.

“I'm going to tell you the truth. I find that we tell ourselves more and more, that I tell myself more and more and I am not comfortable with accepting that. I like it when people in the know talk about real subjects. On anorexia, let the doctors talk… There is a kind of unpacking that I practice myself but with which I am not at ease“, she said.

Marina Foïs regrets having mentioned her body dysmorphic disorder

While Léa Salamé assured that she had been surprised to read such a confidence coming from her, Marina Foïs admitted not knowing what had happened to her when she said she had suffered from body dysmorphic disorder. “I think we should leave it to people who find real meaning in doing it. I have this fantasy there to tell me that what is most interesting about me are the films or plays that I make.”

Faced with the embarrassment of her guest, Léa Salamé chose not to go further on this subject and preferred to return to her life as an actress. A subject on which the actress is much more comfortable and much more talkative.
