While Americans celebrated Mother’s Day this Sunday, Marion Cotillard , as popular in France as across the Atlantic, shared a very personal photo celebrating motherhood breastfeeding one of her children. In this slightly blurry black and white shot, captured by photographer Eliott Bliss, we discover the actress sitting on a bed, in a bra and shorts, breastfeeding one of her children. A fleeting and intimate moment, which the wife of Guillaume Canet published with the simple words “Mother”.

Bold and rare for a celebrity, this image of a breastfeeding mother may have the merit of helping those who wish to no longer hide to breastfeed. Followed by 1.5 million subscribers on Instagram , Marion Cotillard is best known for her publications in favor of environmental protection. Usually very discreet about her private life, the mother of Léon (9 years old) and Louise (4 years old) has therefore made an exception that her fans have not failed to salute.
