Diane Kruger thinks the Hollywood lifestyle can be "suffocating" at times. The star moved to Paris when she was young to pursue a modelling career, but soon became interested in acting there.
Although Diane appreciates the buzz of film life in Hollywood, she admits it can become very stifling. She appreciates her more laidback lifestyle in the French capital. "I live in Paris and I have a house in Los Angeles. Life in California is very cool, the weather is great and everything is about cinema. The waiter is writing a script, the driver who drives you on a set is a movie director..." she said.
"At one point it might be suffocating. I need reality to feel alive. I'm European. I love to walk in the streets." Diane divides her time between both places. The 35-year-old beauty likes changing the pace between her life with American actor Joshua Jackson and France. "[Living with Joshua Jackson] doesn't change anything. I love to live in France, come back to my apartment. I will always share my life between France and I don't know where..." she mused.
Diane is starring as Marie-Antoinette in Farewell, My Queen. She has drawn many comparisons between her character and herself, but has joked their similarities end at royalty. "I'm German, she was Austrian. When I first came to France, I was very young and I didn't speak a word of French. I felt alone," she told French publication Paris Match this week.
"I'm almost the same age as her at the time of the Revolution and my mother's name is Marie-Thérèse... Funny isn't it? "But she was Queen of France... I wouldn't say I can indentify myself there. Let's say we have similar paths." Diane loves living in the French capital. The star says she owes the country for her favourite film parts.
"I feel at home [in France], I try to shoot a movie here per year. I see myself getting old in France," she said. "I thought I would have no chance in the American cinema. I admired French actors. I even started acting lessons in Paris. French cinema offers me my most beautiful parts."
