“It was a long time that I wanted to have an experience as an actress,” said Elodie during the press conference where, for the first time since Amici, she left the role of the successful singer.
On the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival 2022, Elodie made her debut as an actress parading with the rest of the cast of Ti mangio il cuore [“You eat my heart”], the new film signed by director Pippo Mezzapesa presented in Venice 79 in the Horizons section.
“It was a long time that I wanted to have an experience as an actress,” said Elodie during the press conference where, for the first time since Amici, she left the role of the successful singer (see the recent hits ” Tribale “, ” Bagno a midnight “and” Vertigo “) to immerse yourself in the unpublished ones of the actress.

“I was waiting for the magic, something that would strike me, that would allow me to do something different and that I can’t do in my job as a singer,” continued the 32-year-old, who instantly fell in love with the script of the movie You eat my heart, freely taken from the homonymous book by Carlo Bonini and Giuliano Foschini.
“I thought it was multifaceted, beautiful, and true. Especially true. My character, Marilena, is a woman with a complex character and I immediately fell in love with her. I thought it was pretentious to think of doing it on my part, but it was an opportunity to confront myself with something far distant and much deeper than what I do. I make entertainment music, and I needed to speak with another deeper vibration.”
continued Elodie, whose name in recent months has often held court in the world of gossip, before, the alleged flashback with Marracash, the ex-boyfriend of the singer of “Margarita” and, subsequently, for the possible flirtation with Andrea Iannone.
“I like Marilena, she is a powerful character, with incredible complexity: she thinks she knows how to use her power but in reality, she is a slave to cultural heritage. Her beauty is her fragility, but it will also be a way of salvation.”
said the former singer of Amici di Maria De Filippi an Oggi, also adding how acting, for her, was almost a sort of cure.
“On the set, you discover your weaknesses, but you also learn how to overcome them, like in therapy. After all, it is not so different from being on stage, it is always a confrontation with oneself, a test.”
