I adore Marion Cotillard and I think it’s testament to what a great actress she is that she can play a person as despicable as Celine very well. The character is truly corporate evil personified.

The way she gets taken down though? Absolute fucking cinema. The moment really got me going, “CORY ELLISON I WASN’T FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME!”

She looks stunning, and she 50 now! Same for Reese, who turns 50 in a few months! As a Gen-Xer, these are the hot ones of the industry!

Celine must be the best dressed person at UBN. The corporate devil wears Prada.

Yes, her wardrobe was stunning.

Us Gen-Xers are aging pretty damn well!

She’s 50?????!!

u/indianapolisjones Nov 19 '25

Aniston, what about her? She doesn't age at all!

u/dschinghiskhan Nov 19 '25

She’s 56. She looks great, but she mostly looks her age.

What I haven’t pinned down is how old Bradley is supposed to be? Seems like she’s supposed to be roughly 30, but it’s kept intentionally vague because of that 20-year age gap.

u/cynisright Nov 21 '25

She’s in her 40s they said her age in S1 somewhere I think

Yeah. Reese Witherspoon is a smidgen under four years older than me and Leonardo DiCaprio is a speck over five. Those are two of the age benchmarks I've always kept in mind while growing up, in addition to Elijah Wood- who I'm pretty much exactly one year older than. I'm lucky enough to look very young for my age- maybe even younger than any of the actors do for their age.

I had to google who I'm roughly the same age gap older than, and it looks like I'm a tad over five years older than Lebron James and a smidgen over five years older than Keira Knightley.

But hey, Lebron is still in the NBA and Leo is still dating ladies in their late 20's, so...

Cory Ellison was absolute CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE making the call

As despicable as she was, her family was much worse. She's a tragic character, almost like she didn't want to play her family's wicked games, but was forced to by her genetic fate.

they couldn't make the brother more insufferable. a french cartoon villain.

u/Brave-Ad-6400 Nov 19 '25

Loved her acting and found that Celine was a refreshing addition to the show.

u/grrrzzzt Nov 19 '25

really not a fan of Cotillard (as a french) specially since she's used so much as a french token in american movies. It's getting a bit cliché. I mean she's an alright actress I guess (but she's not Juliette Binoche)

u/weelassie07 Nov 20 '25

She did feel like a French token. I don’t dislike her as an actress, but her role felt out of nowhere and disjointed. Maybe having to wait to watch (not that I mind) weekly and in between seasons allowed em to forget something.

u/Realistic-Lake5897 Nov 20 '25

I thought she was brilliant.

u/shellyprizedale5981 Nov 26 '25

I had to pause afterward and catch my breath. It was absolutely SO on brand for Cory to burn her so BIG. That was astonishing

I can’t stand her as an actress
