PARIS-BASED actor Bérénice Bejo doesnt consider herself to be much of a dancer. That sounds unbelievable coming from someone who, as the spirited Peppy Miller, tap danced her way into the heart of movie-lovers across the world when the Oscar-winning silent movie The Artist (2012) released. Soon, she will be seen doing thumkas to Madaari, composed by Amit Trivedi, for the upcoming The Extraordinary Journey of The Fakir.

“Before we shot the song, I rehearsed the number for three weeks. Im not used to this kind of dancing. I loved being challenged and it was a great experience,” says the 42-year-old actor, who is doing a cameo in Ken Scotts The Extraordinary Journey of The Fakir that releases on Friday. This training though was not as intense as The Artist demanded. “For The Artist, I trained for six months. The trick to make the audience connect to your dance is to have fun,” says the actor, who hopes to visit India one day.

Though the actor is based in Paris, after her international breakthrough performance in The Artist, she has appeared in several European films such as German-Italian Three Peaks (2017) and Italian Sweet Dreams (2016). She also played the lead in Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadis The Past (2013), which fetched her the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress. Always open to acting in different language movies, she says, “As long as the script appeals to me and I agree with the directors approach, Im open to working in movies from different countries and cultures,” she says, in a telephonic conversation.

The reason behind such openness possibly lies in the fact that she was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and that at the age of three, her parents, filmmaker Miguel Bejo and mother Silvia, a lawyer, came to France with their family to escape the Dirty War. “I dont consider myself to be just a French actor. I am an actor of the world. I love to welcome different cultures and people. At times, this can be daunting too. When I was shooting in Vietnam for Eternity (2016), people did not understand English or Spanish. Taking up such assignments demands a lot of energy. Yet, you end up learning so much,” says the actor, who is currently working on an Italian movie.
