Carla Bruni, 2008

Carla Bruni (* December 23, 1967 as Carla Gilberta Bruni Tedeschi in Turin ), since her marriage Carla Gilberta Bruni Sarkozy , is a musician and a former model . Born in Italy , she took on French citizenship in 2008 . Since February 2, 2008, she has been married to the then French President Nicolas Sarkozy .

Bruni first became known as one of the highest paid models of the 1990s. After the end of her modeling career, she got into the music business and released the album Quelqu'un m'a dit in 2002 , which was particularly successful in France and Switzerland . Her very quiet, somewhat smoky and sometimes fragile voice is characteristic.

Life

Carla Bruni Tedeschi was born as the daughter of the actress and concert pianist Marisa Borini and the great Italian industrialist Alberto Bruni Tedeschi . In an interview with Vanity Fair , however, she admitted that her biological father was the then 19-year-old son of her mother's lover (Giorgio Remmert) and today's Brazilian entrepreneur Maurizio Remmert. From the age of five, she grew up in France, where her family had fled (officially for fear of the underground organization Red Brigades ). The real reason is considered to be the difficulties at the time in the family-owned company (the tire manufacturer CEAT), which was later sold to the Pirelli group. Later she attended the girls' boarding school at Château Mont-Choisi in Lausanne ( Switzerland ). Her brother was the photographer Virginio Bruni Tedeschi (1960-2006), who died of AIDS . Her sister is the actress Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (* 1964).

The years as a model (1987-1998)

At the age of 19, she broke off her studies in art and architecture to work as a model . At first she graced the covers of fashion magazines and worked for clients such as L'Oréal and Christian Dior . Between 1995 and 1997 she was on the catwalk for Valentino , Yves Saint Laurent and John Galliano, among others . Bruni was one of the highest paid photo models with an annual salary of up to $ 7.5 million. During this time she also starred in several films, including 1995 in Catwalk and 1997 in Paparazzi . In 1998, Bruni said goodbye to the world of fashion.

Entry into the pop music business

From 2000 she devoted herself to chanson . She celebrated her first success in the pop music business with the French singer Julien Clerc , for whom she wrote the lyrics of six songs for his album Si j'étais elle . The album landed at number 1 on the French charts .

Bruni surprised in 2002 with her debut album Quelqu'un m'a dit, which she composed, wrote and sang herself; she also played guitar on some pieces . The album sold more than a million times within a very short time and made Bruni known throughout Europe. In France it landed in first place, in Germany after a short time in the top 20.

For the album Longtemps of her musical companion Louis Bertignac (producer of Quelqu'un m'a dit and former member of the group Téléphone ) she wrote the lyrics for ten titles in 2005, one of them in collaboration with Marine Delterme . Her former partner Raphaël Enthoven , to whom the song "Raphaël" was dedicated on her album Quelqu'un m'a dit , also contributed a text for Bertignac.

In 2006 Bruni sang in a duet with Aldo Romano on his album Chante . She can also be heard on the album Oceana by the German jazz trumpeter Till Brönner . Her song Le plus beau du quartier ran in H&M advertising in 2006.

Bruni's second album, No Promises , was released on January 12, 2007. In contrast to the previous album , it contains only English lyrics by William Butler Yeats , Wystan Hugh Auden , Emily Dickinson , Christina Rossetti , Walter de la Mare and Dorothy Parker .

Her third album Comme si de rien n'était, which was released in Germany on July 11, 2008, caused quite a stir in advance; because in the piece Tu es ma came (“You are my drug”) the singer compares her lover with Colombian cocaine . The Colombian ambassador called a press conference because he feared damage to the image of his country.

Relationship and marriage with Nicolas Sarkozy

Shortly before Christmas 2007, several media reported that French President Nicolas Sarkozy was in a relationship with Bruni. Sarkozy and the ex-model had been accompanied by several photographers on a trip to the Disneyland amusement park . The channel France Info reported that they wanted to make their relationship public. Other journalists said the whole thing was a sophisticated PR campaign, an "offensive staging". At Christmas 2007 she went on vacation with Sarkozy to Luxor . The circumstances of the flight and the stay in Egypt were controversial. An Egyptian MP accused his government of setting a bad moral example by officially welcoming the unmarried couple and of "accepting official prostitution by heads of state".

After Egypt, Sarkozy's travel destination was Saudi Arabia , and a Saudi diplomat said: "Sarkozy should leave his lady of the heart at home for religious reasons". Intimate relationships between unmarried people are prohibited in Saudi Arabia. Bruni was then officially unloaded by the Saudi government and did not come with them. A French government spokesman announced that Bruni was not planned to travel with him anyway.

After Bruni had accompanied Sarkozy on a visit to Jordan's King Abdullah II at the beginning of January 2008 , the French President announced that he would be coming with Bruni for the official invitation to India's national holiday on January 26th. According to Indian press reports, this announcement caused confusion because the protocol does not provide for the treatment of unmarried female companions of state visitors.

On February 2, 2008, Bruni and Sarkozy were married in the Élysée Palace . Bruni has a son (Aurélien, * 2001) from his relationship with Enthoven. On October 19, 2011, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy gave birth to a girl (Giulia).

Representations of Bruni in literature and film

  • According to Lévy Bruni, an - unsympathetically drawn - figure in Justine Lévy's strongly autobiographically colored key novel Rien de grave from 2004 was modeled for which Lévy's then husband Raphaël Enthoven left his wife. Enthoven has a son with Bruni.
  • The literary critic Jean-Paul Enthoven , whom she left for a relationship with his son Raphaël, wrote the book Ce que nous avons eu de meilleur in 2008 , in which he portrays Carla Bruni as cold and heartless.
  • In the autobiographical film Rather A Camel Goes Through the Eye of a Needle ... (2003) by her sister Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, the selfish model Bianca ( Chiara Mastroianni ), the sister of the main character, bears clear traits of Carla Bruni.
