You rang, ma Lud?

Luscious Ludivine

Long blonde hair, blue eyes, blase French attitude, stunningly beautiful...why did we never get a babe like Ludivine Sagnier when we were on that French exchange?

Now nudging her late 20s, Ludivine has been acting since the age of 10, when she notched up the obligatory role opposite notorious French ligger Gerard Depardieu in Cyrano de Bergerac.

As a young, sexy French actress, Ludivine has embraced the carefree attitude to clothes that has kept generations of pensive-looking English boys flocking to dimly-lit arthouse movie theatres. Just watch those sticky floors.

To Ludivine, stripping off to her nethers and displaying her superbly-horny birthday suit is just a Gallic shrug of insignificance – just watch her adult breakout role in The Swimming Pool.

Steaming up the celluloid opposite old-timer sexpot Charlotte Rampling, Ludivine put the hot and 'frequent shagging' into the 'free-spirited' step-daughter role she'd landed, to repeated and hypnotic effect. God love that pause button.

The Swimming Pool producers obviously clocked they were on to a sweet deal and dutifully placed Ludivine's shapely, bikini-swathed bod front-and-centre on the movie posters.

In media land, Rolling Stone magazine has dusted off the 'young Brigitte Bardot' tag, while Playboy has reportedly been knocking on her door to see more of her – well, you understand.

Ludivine's just not that kind of girl though; apparently shy, she closes her eyes while watching her nude scenes. It's OK, we're probably doing enough gawping for two.
