Vicky Krieps: Bold Choices in Film and Life

Vicky Krieps, after her acclaimed performance in 'Phantom Thread,' defied expectations by steering clear of Hollywood's glitz for independent European cinema. This deliberate choice, she explains, stems from a lifelong instinct to be bold and authentic.

Even in her twenties, Krieps faced significant career advice that urged her to avoid personal milestones. When she became pregnant, she was strongly advised against having the baby, with many predicting it would derail her acting career. However, Krieps chose to embrace motherhood, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to her own path.

Challenging Industry Norms

Her decision to return to low-budget French films after her breakout role in Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Phantom Thread' was met with skepticism and even ridicule by some in the industry. "It just seemed absurd to these people that I would turn my back on Hollywood and invest so much energy and passion in something that wasn’t giving me money," Krieps recalls.

Yet, Krieps's determination has proven to be her greatest asset. Over the past decade, she has masterfully balanced a presence in mainstream Hollywood productions, including appearances in 'The Girl in the Spider's Web' and M. Night Shyamalan's 'Old,' with her passion for independent cinema, where she finds the freedom to experiment and push creative boundaries.

A Disdain for Red Carpet Spectacle

Beyond her film choices, Krieps also actively avoids the often-frenetic spectacle of red-carpet events. When she does attend, her playful defiance – sticking out her tongue or gesturing to photographers – is a subtle yet clear message. "I always smile when I’m doing it. But I’m telling them: ‘Guys, this is really ridiculous and the shouting is a bit much. Just talk nicely to me.’" Krieps’s career trajectory is a testament to the power of staying true to oneself, even when faced with conventional industry pressures.
