Defoe’s film clip is here


This is either lost media or my own personal Mandela effect, but when TV ads for The Beach aired there was always a great shot of Virginie’s rear end in a blue bikini as she stands up from the sand and walks toward the surf. Later, when I saw the movie on TV, the shot wasn’t there. Not a big deal, since trailers use footage not used in the final cut all the time. But then I couldn’t find the shot in any of the official trailers or, as the years went by, in any of the TV ads I found on YouTube. So did it ever really exist? Nobody cares but me. But I’ll keep looking.
Hottest French actress of last 25 years imo, her & her pals in MILF have great getting-locked-out naked scene, perfect pan down to her bare derriere
So glad you included all of Virginie Ledoyen’s scenes here! she did topless photoshoots in 1992 and 2015 as well. Incredible seeing her body change over the years but always looking great!
1992? Are you sure? Which magazine published a topless photoshoot when she was 15? That’s daring even by French standards.
The 2015 photoshoot is here.
Yeah I’ve seen some of those pictures online and that sounds right. It’s listed as 1992 on nudography but it has question marks, so I guess that’s a ballpark estimate
I’m guessing that you are referring to the pictures from Marcel Carne’s “Mouche,” a film that was never completed.
yes, exactly that.
IMDB lists another film, Mima (1991), “Virgine Leydoyen is topless in the bath tub.” Anything?
I don’t know that film, but I suppose that must be this movie. The bathtub scene starts at 2:38
That clip seems to be where your first pic comes from. Without seeing both films, it may be tough to figure out what’s what
