When the model and TV actress first heard that Skyfall auditions were to be held Paris, she became obsessed. “I sent my reel to anyone on Facebook related to the movie”, Bérénice Marlohe recalls.
But after the casting director
got in touch and she found herself testing scenes with Daniel Craig and
Sam Mendes, the pressure hit home. “There were moments when I felt
scared and trapped by this huge concept of Bond girl”, the 32-year-old
admits. Marlohe’s first passions were art and the piano, and as a
self-confessed “paranoid” – starring in a $150 million blockbuster
represented a departure from comfort zone.
The actress was helped in her
role as the mysterious Severine by studying Famke Janssen’s dominatrix
Xenia Onatopp in GoldenEye. “It’s so original to have a character who
kills and has an orgasm at the same time, that’s what we go to movies
for”.
In the end, a sense of responsibility pacified Marlohe. Cambodian by descent,
she saw the global platform offered by the role as a chance to
represent her country, still scarred by recent genocide and continued
oppression “I see it as power to be a voice for my country, to speak for
those who don’t have that chance. I will use the celebrity for human
rights”.

KI-Media Note: The French magazine Paris-Match (10 April 2012) indicated that Bérénice's father is a Sino-Cambodian doctor living in France.

Sino Cambodian is a Khmer in our Khmer language.
Thanks 3 May 2012 3:01 AM, you are very wise. Some so
called (self justified?) Khmer Doeum try to enlist
him/herself to a bit more special status because
s/he has a little darker skin. They were shocked
when they saw black clad Thai soldiers killed Khmers,
they lamented why Khmer in Thailand rather kill Khmer?.
Oh God! they looked at Kuoys and they called them Khmers!!!
yet they called a fair skin khmers as Kaun Chao Chen
or Puok Kaun kat'!! What is wrong with this small group?!!
Did they eat too much treys ka-aek!!!?
Don't understand what you are trying to say here!...I am proud of those khmers doesn't
forget their root....Its matter is diong good for
humanity,stand up for those whose has no voice
the poors, the weaks,the broken,the forgotten one.
If she did what she preaches, I am very proud of her..All I hope she will use her fame to the good
for Cambodia that oppressed by this Cpp's clans

I was saying that some Khmer
of darker skin did not fully
accept Khmers who has clear skin.
They rather consider Thai Kuoys
as their intimate fellow over
the Kaun Chao Chen until those
Thai soldiers prove them wrong!
Kuoys in Cambodia are Khmers and
I love them.I have problems only with dark
racist Khmers who I doubted they eat to many crow fishes!
you're amazing Miss. Can't believe you are representing khmer or khmer lady! Your voice for cambodian will be heard!!
Who care! About Sino-Cambodian, American-Cambodian, French-Cambodian, bright skin or dark skin if someone represents to the world as a Khmer descent is much better, unlike some Sino-Cambodians living in United States always pretend to be real Chinese from China but when asked, where are you from??? End of story.
Remarkably, the father of Bérénice is a Sino-Cambodian doctor living in France, but he is proud to be born as a Khmer, that’s why his daughter does the same way.
Short to say, she is one of us the children of the Khmer descent.
One of the G.I.JOE Retaliation Cast member Elodie Yung is of khmer descent as well.
Show your support guys.
