When they met, she was 20 and he was 53. Polański was working on the film “Pirates” at the time. Seigner already made her acting debut in “The Year of the Jellyfish” in 1984. – Roman was different from the men I knew. Witty, charismatic, brilliant, he had a huge appetite for life, he surprised me at every step – she said in a 2013 interview
She was 20 years old when she met Roman Polański. They fell in love with each other at first sight
The casting director introduced them. As she admitted, the director immediately impressed her with his knowledge and intellect, and she felt she could rely on him. – He fell madly in love with her. I remember him rushing off the set of “Pirates” to Paris to meet her. He said that everything was unimportant now, only Emmanuelle mattered – recalled Janusz Morgenstern’s wife, Krystyna Cierpniak, years later.
When the public learned that Seigner and Polański were together, the media went into a frenzy. Not only was there no chance of survival, mainly because the director was considered a carefree womanizer, but attention was also paid to – When we are together, no one notices that there is a 33-year difference between us – in one of the interviews. She also repeatedly refuted accusations that she was trying to solve problems by having a relationship with an older man, and that Polański was “replacing her father”. As she admitted, there is equality in their relationship. – Roman is neither my father nor my teacher. (…) He doesn’t make decisions for me. I’m not an idiot, she admitted.

Emmanuelle Seigner and Roman Polanski have been married for 35 years. The actress repeatedly defended her husband
They married in 1989. A year earlier, Polanski cast Seigner in his film “Frantic”. The actress still believes that this is the best role of her career. After this performance, she had a chance to pursue a career in Hollywood, but she rejected the offer of a contract to spend her holidays with Polanski. – As a 20-year-old I was carefree, I didn’t appreciate the opportunity – she said in 2010 in “Viva”, but emphasized that she had no regrets. He prefers music to “boring” filmmaking. She appeared in her husband’s films several times, including: in “The Bitter Wedding”, “The Ninth Gate” and “An Officer and a Spy”. He also records albums and gives concerts.
Seigner and Polanski have two children. In 1993, a daughter, Morgane, was born, and five years later their son, Elvis, was born. Emmanuelle defended her husband many times. – The man I know is nothing like the man described in the newspapers. This is not the man I met, fell in love with and married. My truth is that Roman has always been a wonderful husband and father – she said a few years ago in an interview for French
