You may know her as the daughter of the famous comedian Guy Bedos, but Victoria has carved her own path. Born on April 28, 1984, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, she now proudly stands 1.70 m tall, a fulfilled mother of a little Zelda born in 2019 with Romain Battesti.
Speaking of her personal life, Victoria is quite private, but always open enough so you can feel that she is enjoying family life with her partner, an entrepreneur at heart. Yes, alongside her artistic career, she maintains a fairly quiet private life.
Before you immediately imagine a straightforward career, the young woman did not jump into the world of entertainment by chance. No, she started as a journalist. Her article in TélécinéObs and Les Inrockuptibles quickly got her noticed. Then, there was her first book in 2007, “Le Déni”.
A novel that digs into the dark areas of lies and denial, while she was barely 23 years old. The writing she shows does not leave you indifferent. And that’s when the magic really begins with her ventures into screenwriting.
Victoria Bedos: a French artist with multiple talents and a unique identity
Victoria Bedos is not just the daughter of Guy Bedos. Oh no! She is also a writer, journalist, screenwriter, and even a singer. At over 40 years old, her reputation has been built far beyond just the spotlight of her family name.
Daughter of Guy Bedos and Joëlle Bercot, sister of Nicolas Bedos, she was born in 1984 in that chic little corner known as Neuilly-sur-Seine. Her childhood was rocked by humor and artistic passion, but Victoria quickly wanted to prove that she could fly on her own wings.
Starting her career in the press (TélécinéObs, Les Inrockuptibles, Glamour), Victoria scratched her own path. Her world often combines a certain poetry with tender and incisive humor, which she also demonstrates in her scripts.
She is also a modern woman who juggles her many hats while enjoying her personal life. To learn more about her partner, Romain Battesti, you can read this article that tells the story of their discreet but affectionate life.
Her pre-star: journalism and writing
Before delighting you in your seats with her films or series, Victoria first honed her skills in journalism. Nothing flashy, but real meticulous work in prestigious publications like Première or Les Inrockuptibles.
Her first book Le Déni released in 2007 illustrates well this thoughtful yet sharp side. She dwells on heavy themes with a light touch, and that’s what captures attention, believe me.
We must not forget that she also wrote for television, notably the series Confidences in 2007, and that she played the main role in Gym Couine, a somewhat cult mini-series on the internet broadcast on June.
A career marked by successes: from screenwriting to singing
And then, bam! In 2014, Victoria co-writes La Famille Bélier. And you know what? The film was a hit, she was even nominated for the César for best original screenplay. Truly a success.
After that, she didn’t slow down. She formed a rock duo, Vicky-Banjo, with Olivier Urvoy, where she sings and writes. Pretty cool, right?
Her first major role in cinema came with the film Vicky in 2015. More recently, you may have seen her 2023 movie, La Plus Belle pour aller danser, a comedy about adolescence that managed to touch a wide audience.
She was also a jury member at the prestigious Dinard British Film Festival in 2016. Not bad for a woman who is also involved in writing, stage, and music.
Personal details and unusual anecdotes
So, the Bedos family is quite a story. Victoria, sometimes called “Vicky,” also shares a strong bond with her brother Nicolas, even though recently she made headlines because of the controversy around him. But she does things her way, calm but determined (read here for more).
You know what? In 2019, she gave birth to a little girl, Zelda. That name is dreamy, isn’t it? She revealed it herself in the press. It’s not always easy to juggle creative life and mommy life, but Victoria manages pretty well.
Finally, she is also the face of an interactive advertising campaign for Glamour, which shows she has style and knows how to reinvent herself at each stage.
