Audrey Tautou is more interested in Coco Chanel's past than her style

The French actress - who plays the legendary French designer in new film 'Coco Avant Chanel' - is fascinated by Coco's life and loved being able to portray her on the big screen.

She said: "I've always loved Chanel's style but I was more interested in her character than the fashion. Her life is so rich, and her personality so unusual, that the story of her life is far greater than simply being a story of fashion. And I wanted to discover what lay behind the facade."
