She was never considered a ‘classic beauty’ in the conventional sense, but there was always something special about her that had the public literally swooning. She began her creative journey as a child – at the tender age of seven. By the age of 14, the young Vanessa was performing a song about a taxi driver named Joe and earning a fortune.
Her delicate, unusual and captivating appearance quickly caught the attention of fashion designers. Vanessa Paradis collaborated with renowned fashion houses, even though her measurements were far from the standard model’s.
She was considered one of the most sought-after young women in France, but alongside the admiration, Vanessa also had to face the unpleasant side of fame: indecent proposals, rude comments and hurtful remarks about her appearance.
And yet it was she who managed to win the heart of the handsome Johnny Depp. Their relationship lasted for many years, and the couple had two children. But, despite their long union, the actor never proposed to her or took his beloved to the altar.
Surprisingly, Vanessa Paradis only received a marriage proposal at the age of 45. Her chosen one was Samuel Benchetrit, whom she married. Now she devotes most of her time to her family. The actress rarely appears in films, though she occasionally takes to the stage to perform her old hits. Vanessa is now 53, but she still looks stunning and keeps herself in excellent shape. Even 20-year-olds might envy her looks.
