Corinne Masiero, the lead actress of the popular French TV series 'Capitaine Marleau,' has clarified her stance regarding the future of her iconic character, Captain Marleau. In a recent podcast appearance on 'Censuré,' Masiero addressed long-standing rumors and speculations about her potential departure from the show, which she has starred in since 2015. The series, known for its strong ratings, continues to attract a massive audience, with its latest unedited episode drawing over 3.2 million viewers. [1]
Addressing the question of how she envisions her future within the series after eleven years in the role, Masiero stated unequivocally that her decision-making process is straightforward and based on her personal enjoyment. 'It’s simple. I do something: if it pleases me, I continue, and if it doesn’t please me, I stop,' she assured listeners. She added that her current situation is positive, emphasizing, 'For now, everything is very fine, madame. The day I am sick of it, I stop, it’s as simple as that.' [1]
Masiero also highlighted her excellent professional relationship with Josée Dayan, the creator and director of the series. Despite describing themselves as opposites in many ways, Masiero expressed deep respect and affection for her colleague, stating, 'I get along very well with her. We are opposites for all sorts of reasons, but she is my friend and I love her. As long as there is no relational problem with the director, everything is fine.' This reassurance comes as a comfort to the dedicated fanbase of the franchise. [1]
A significant revelation made by Masiero concerns her contractual preferences for the show. She revealed her desire to avoid signing long-term, exclusive contracts for entire seasons, preferring instead to renew smaller, short-term agreements. 'I don't sign in advance for lots of things... Because if I feel like stopping, I can, and if she feels like stopping, she can. And there is also the network,' she explained. This approach ensures flexibility for both the actress and the production team. However, her sudden departure does not seem imminent, as the next unedited episode, titled 'Capitaine Marleau à Saint-Tropez!', is scheduled to air on December 2, 2026. [1]
The impact of 'Capitaine Marleau' on Masiero's life cannot be overstated. Before achieving fame, she worked various jobs, including housekeeping, managing a pub, and babysitting. Her entry into acting began somewhat by chance at the age of 28, leading to theater work and eventually her breakthrough role in the 2012 film 'Louise Wimmer,' which earned her a César nomination for Best Actress. However, it is her portrayal of Captain Marleau that brought her widespread recognition and financial stability. Masiero openly shared her past struggles with homelessness, noting that the role provided her with housing and security, jokingly remarking that it could sustain her for twenty years without needing to beg or bother anyone.
