Like Eva Green, I'm not a b*tch, I'm just French 💬 via ipaperviews
The unexpected revelation for me in this whole Eva Green affair isn’t that the French are ‘rude’ but that the British actually love itThe French actress sued a British production company to recover her fee for a defunct sci-fi movie
“She’s not a bitch, she’s just French” is a phrase I have heard repeated over and over again in the 15 years since I moved to England. Like when I suggested my ex-boyfriend’s mate Henry see an orthodontist. Or when I asked “Then why does she wear such cheap clothes?” after discovering an acquaintance of ours earned an astronomical income..
I grew up in a small rural village in Brittany, western France, in a distinctly British household. We lived in an English microcosm complete with English food, language, customs, and behaviour but the moment we stepped outside, we became French. As we boarded the bus to our local speaking an irreproachable French, listening to Ophelie Winter and arguing over who would win Graines de Star.
But does that therefore mean that French people are rude? Well relatively speaking and according to a British sensitivity, probably yes. When I returned to France after my first term at uni I told my friend Maeva that I had gained weight and she simply replied “yes, you have”. It was empirically true and she acknowledged it.
The unexpected revelation for me in this whole Eva Green affair isn’t that the French are “rude” but that the British actually love it. Just take one look at Twitter and the chorus of “Queen Eva Green” and “I wish she’d call me a peasant”. We have come to expect haughty insulting behaviour from the French and we want nothing less. If I go to a restaurant in Paris and I receive anything other than scathing looks and condescending replies then I’m dubious of its authenticity.
