Sofia Boutella’s Interview in Paris Match

In this week’s issue French magazine Paris Match publishes a short interview of Sofia Boutella, one of Madonna’s French dancers. Here’s a translation of what Sofia has to say about The Queen Of Pop:

First Meeting:
“At a dance studio, she held out her hand: “Nice to meet you, I love your work”. It’s was incredible. Back then I was modelling for Nike and I was working with Jamie King, her choreographer.”

On Stage:
“Yeah. It’s out of this world to be by Madonna’s side. But I don’t look up to her as a fan. She’s a teacher to me. I have lots of respect for hard-working girls. I watch her, i learn..”

A generous ‘Material Girl’:
“She loves us ! She celebrates our birthdays. She feels it when we are down, watches what we eat but doesn’t forbid us anything. I already talked to her about personal stuff. You can trust her.”

Superstar mentors:
“One day she told me: “I’ll guide you on your way in life. “This is exactly what’s she doing now.
One night when we were performing in London, I was lucky to meet Marion Cotillard too.She gave me some advice to break into acting. I got offers from both sides of the Atlantic. To be continued !”
