Juliette Binoche

Sexy French actress Juliette Binoche says winning film awards is the best revenge for not being appreciated at school.

The Chocolat actress recently added a Cannes prize to her long list of awards, but she never takes winning for granted. “I means a lot because I didn’t get any prizes at school,” says Juliette. “So it feels a big revenge after all that period of time. I didn’t fit in very much in the scholarship kind of mind and all, so it’s kind of an irony I think in life that suddenly I have all these prizes.”

Juliette also says that despite a cast of co-stars from Ralph Fiennes to Johnny Depp, she doesn’t feel like a Hollywood star. I don’t think I’ve ever had a real relationship with Hollywood,” she says. “I never thought I would or I did because I don’t think I’ve ever been into any system.”
