Inception star Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet announce separation after 18 years
Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet, once considered a power couple in French cinema, have decided to part ways after nearly two decades together. The two announced their separation in a joint statement to Agence France-Presse, emphasizing that their intention was 'to avoid all speculation, rumors and risky interpretations.' Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet started dating in 2007. The longtime couple did not provide a specific reason for their breakup but clarified that the decision was made by 'common accord' and with 'mutual goodwill.' Marion and Guillaume first appeared together on-screen in the romantic drama Love Me If You Dare (2003), a film that marked a turning point in both their careers. They began dating a few years later in 2007. Their family life began in 2011 with the birth of their son, Marcel, followed by the arrival of their daughter, Louise, in 2017. Both stars are prominent figures in the global entertainment industry. Marion achieved international acclaim with her Oscar-winning performance as Édith Piaf in La Vie en Rose (2007), a role that catapulted her to global stardom. She later appeared alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010), also featured in third instalment of Christopher's Batman trilogy in The Dark Knight Rises (2013) and opposite Brad Pitt in Allied (2016). Guillaume, meanwhile, has built a reputation both in front of and behind the camera. In addition to directing and writing several well-received French films, he also appeared in The Beach (2000), sharing screen space with Leonardo. Their announcement comes as a surprise to fans who admired the couple's enduring partnership, both personally and professionally. Though they managed to maintain a relatively private life over the years, their creative collaborations and shared history made them one of France's most beloved duos in film.

Will Cate Blanchett star in American version of Squid Game? Here's what we know (SPOILER ALERT)
NOTE: This article contains spoilers to the third season of Squid Games Cate Blanchette appeared in the final episode of the third season of Squid Game In an unexpected twist, Squid Game wrapped up its explosive finale with a surprise that fans didn't see coming — Cate Blanchett stepping into the franchise as a mysterious new recruiter. In the closing moments of the finale episode titled Humans Are…, the action shifts to Los Angeles, where a mysterious woman in a sleek suit is seen challenging a man to a tense game of ddakji in a shadowy alleyway. That woman? None other than Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett. With her hair pulled back into a tight ponytail and a smirk that could send chills down your spine, Blanchett slaps her opponent hard across the face before he finally gives in. The final moment sees her making eye contact with Front Man In-ho (Lee Byung-hun), who observes the scene from his car and exchanges a loaded glance with her before driving off. The surprise cameo comes after In-ho delivers Gi-hun's (Lee Jung-jae) personal items to his daughter, confirming the protagonist's death after the final game. Among the items: the now-iconic green tracksuit marked 456 and a gold debit card that likely holds the remainder of Gi-hun's winnings. So how did Cate Blanchett end up in this dystopian universe? In an interview with Tudum, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk shared his excitement about casting the acclaimed actress. 'I thought having a woman as a recruiter would be more dramatic and intriguing. And as for why Cate Blanchett, she's just the best, with unmatched charisma. Who doesn't love her? ' he said. 'So we were very happy to have her appear. We needed someone who could dominate the screen with just one or two words, which is exactly what she did,' he added. As for what comes next, Hwang isn't ruling anything out. In an interview at the premiere of the season 3, earlier this month, he said: 'I cannot just tell right now when and how it's going to happen. But there is a chance.'
