In the zone: Vanessa Paradis looks thrilled as she performs in Paris as part of the Solidays 2010 festival


With her eyes closed and a look of pure joy on her face, Vanessa Paradis looked as though she was completely in the zone as she performed in Paris yesterday.

The 37-year-old actress, who has two children with actor Johnny Depp, wore a chic casual outfit of a black vest top and grey jeans at the Solidays festival.

The performance was a return to the stage for Vanessa, who has recently been busy promoting her new movie L'Arnacoeur (Heartbreaker).


A world of her own: Vanessa plays up for the crowd at the festival


The French film, which tells the story of a professional relationship splitter, played by Romain Duris, who falls in love with Vanessa's character when he is hired to break up her engagement.

It has already proved a huge hit in France, and Vanessa thinks she knows why, explaining in a recent interview: 'It's an amazing story that takes place between a French woman and an American man when travelling wasn't as easy as it is today.

'It's a crazy beautiful story between two very strong personalities. It's a love story

Emotional: Vanessa looked emotionally involved in the performance throughout


One noticeable absence from Vanessa's performance yesterday was her partner Johnny Depp, who has recently finished shooting The Tourist alongside Angelia Jolie.

And Vanessa says despite both her and Johnny proving to be successful in Hollywood, she would never want to work with him.

She said: 'I don't know if I can act facing Johnny, to tell you the truth, we've made music together, but we've never acted together.'

L'Arnacoeur (Heartbreaker) opens in the UK on July 2.
