Casta created a stir on Friday when rumors have surfaced that her career was over.

Sad news for Casta fans. Speculation had been rife that the French model best known for her roles in French Women, Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life or Asterix & Obelix Take On Caesar, will announce her retirement from modelling, at age 47, with immediate effect.

UPDATE 10/01/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Being a model isn't fun anymore

“As we get older, there are phases of life that we enter into, and being a model-actress just isn't fun anymore,” she might have said, says a source who remained anonymous. Other reports hinted that she may branch out into other creative fields she is better at (and more interested in), though they didn't provide any details.

#ThankYouLaetitia

For a little while on Friday evening, #ThankYouLaetitia was a trending hashtag on Twitter. As many fans reminisce and look back on all the unforgettable memories, some may wonder what about now made her make the decision.

“You’ve accomplished everything I ever dreamed of #ThankYouLaetitia.”
