Brigitte Bardot gave a lengthy interview to Valeurs Actuelles on various topics concerning her faith, convictions, and commitment. She begins by reassuring readers about her health, specifying that her troubles were related to the heatwave.
Regarding Christmas, Bardot laments the transformation of this sacred holiday into a commercial event. She criticizes excessive consumption, particularly concerning foie gras and the impact on animals.
On the political and social front, she finds Pope Francis disappointing and is nostalgic for ecclesiastical figures of the past, like John Paul II. Bardot calls for recognition of France’s Christian roots in the Constitution.
Bardot, known for her love of animals, expresses her dismay at what she considers a betrayal of the traditional and Christian values of Christmas. She says she is a believer, but in a personal way, maintaining a direct relationship with the Virgin Mary and drawing inspiration from Saint Francis of Assisi for her love of animals.
She watched only one episode of the series retracing her life broadcast on France 2 and Netflix and did not like it at all: “so pathetic… it made me want to cry.”
The French star, also known for her outspoken opinions, does not hide her dissatisfaction with Emmanuel Macron’s policies, especially regarding animal protection and the management of the country. She reproaches the president for his lack of empathy and respect toward the French people and their animals.
Finally, Bardot discusses the difficulties faced by her foundation in the fight for animal causes, deploring the lack of recognition and support from the government. Despite these obstacles, she remains determined to continue her fight, motivated by her unconditional love for animals and her quest for justice.
