Years after her parents were first informed about her potential condition, Julie Delpy, who will appear in Netflix’s upcoming thriller Hostage, has spoken out about her late diagnosis of ADHD.
One of the stars of Netflix’s upcoming thriller Hostage, Julie Delpy, has revealed that she later developed ADHD. Years after her parents first learned that she might be on the autism spectrum, she was discovered.
The actress, who plays French President Vivienne Toussaint in the thriller, observes her character’s rise to the right as she tries to slay her foes while maintaining power.
The French director and actor, who is also well-known for her role in the critically acclaimed Before trilogy, revealed that the subject first came up when she was a child. She told The Independent, “When I was a child, my parents were told I was on the spectrum, and they were hippies, and they were like, “What, who gives a s***?” She laughed aloud.
“It’s probably the best way to go about it.”
Delpy acknowledged that the late diagnosis was just one aspect of navigating a career in a controversial field for outspoken women. She supported the #MeToo movement even though she continues to criticize deeper systemic issues.
She continued, “The villain is supported by a system, but it’s good to arrest him.” According to the definition of “individuals are able to act out on their impulses based on the system in which they are allowed to occur,”
According to Delpy, accountability extends beyond punishing individual offender: “It’s not just about punishing the predator; it’s also about asking who kept feeding him, paying him, and giving him.”
These power imbalances extend beyond harassment. Delpy revealed that she received “about a tenth” of co-star Ethan Hawke’s salary for 1995’s Before Sunrise and roughly half for 2004’s Before Sunset in a public discussion of wage disparity in 2019.
She admitted that she thought it was funny because it made it seem like Ethan was upset because he was not happy with the quote despite the fact that we occasionally make the joke together.
Delpy pressed for equal pay when Before Midnight first arrived in 2013. She chuckled, “Maybe I wasn’t paid equally on the third one, and they just told me I was.”
“Maybe I’m delusional,” I say.
Suranne Jones plays the fictional British Prime Minister, whose allegiance is tested when her husband is kidnapped and told to step down.
Toussaint, France’s leader, is also at odds with herself with a risky extortion controversy.
With their political careers in the balance, and much more, the two women must work together against a common adversary.
Hostage is guaranteed to keep audiences on the edge of their seats until the very end due to its shocking revelations and unanticipated developments.
The series is currently available on Netflix.
