MY WIFE IS AN ACTRESS (Ma femme est une actrice) is a French movie written and directed by Yvan Attal in 2001.
Yvan, a sports journalist, is married to Charlotte, a film actress. When she moves from Paris to London in order to shoot her new movie, Yvan becomes jealous and unmanageable. He can't bear to see Charlotte shoot naked scenes and kiss actors on screen. Charlotte, tired of explaining to Yvan that her job implies such scenes, starts to flirt with her new partner Terence Stamp while Yvan is in Paris. Meanwhile, Yvan attends theatre classes in order to experiment by himself the real feelings felt by an actor during a love scene.
