Audrey Tautou has revealed that she doesn't think she has enough ambition to crack America.
The Amelie actress also said that she would never move to the States.
She told the Radio Times: "Getting a role, like in The Da Vinci Code, that's fine. Once in a while, I would love to, but it doesn't work like that. They are not just going to come and pick me up as an actress, with all the wonderful actresses they have.
"If you want to build a career in Hollywood, that is different. You have to move there. And for a French person like me... I would have to be away from my friends and family.
"Cinema is my passion. I admire American directors and love American movies. But my life is also something which is very important, and my ambition is not big enough."
She added: "In Hollywood, there is a very important marketing, business, branding side.
"And I really don't think I could be formatted for that."
The 37-year-old, who played Coco Chanel in the 2009 Coco Before Chanel, also said of Hollywood: "People staring at every single millimetre of your body and what you wear, it is a huge pressure.
"Some people are happy with that, but me, non."
