Matthias Schoenaerts

“Your appearance shouldn't define who you are, and that's what I like, the contrast between people looking like the opposite of what they truly are deep inside.”

“I don't like when people expect too much, because then I'll only be disappointed if things don't work out.”

“We all get damned in our lives, and there are ripple effects. One thing can determine a life, and it's hard to overcome that if the event is really traumatic. Your life is completely condemned by it.”

“I'm just looking for touching characters.”

“I'll let life take me where it will.”

“Being human is being a lot of things at the same time.”

“I hooked up with director Jacques Audiard for this film called 'Rust & Bone' with Marion Cotillard. I loved that experience so much I'm truly sad that it's over!”

“I like underdogs, I like anti-heroes - people that have a hard time overcoming things in life.”
