Carmen Kassovitz and Campus Drivers, Digi Mart USA News (Paris, France): Carmen Kassovitz stars as Loïs, a scholarship student who stands out at the prestigious Belrose university in the French teen series Campus Drivers, adapted from C.S. Quill’s new romance saga.
The actress, who will soon turn 25, says the role is far from her own personality.
Loïs is shy, studious and organized, while Kassovitz admits she never passed her baccalaureate and lives by a more bohemian philosophy. She was first noticed in 2020 through the French series Stalk and says she accepts nudity scenes in teen programs so she does not appear difficult, while thinking about the millions of viewers who will see them.
For Campus Drivers she worked with an intimacy coordinator, a development she appreciates after what she described as a very bad earlier experience, though she declined to give details. She says building her resilience took time, especially after online criticism aimed at women in the public eye.
Kassovitz acknowledges that many people know her mainly through her father, director Mathieu Kassovitz. She says this is understandable and that being a so-called nepo baby gives an advantage in the industry, adding that those who deny it are deceiving themselves.
She also voiced anger over police violence and the state’s response to high school students protesting in the streets. Although she has not spoken publicly about politics before, she says that with the 2027 election approaching, people must take their responsibilities seriously.
Campus Drivers is available from November 6 on Prime Video.
