Set to hit newsstands this Thursday (July 5), the 36-year-old French actress brought her natural beauty to the front page while clad in a bejewelled Marchesa dress as she dished about her insecurities, unhappy childhood and what it feels like to be in love.

Highlights from Miss Cotillard's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Marie Claire UK!

On her sense of loneliness as a child:
"I had my own world and it wasn't very happy. I was not a very sociable kid. I didn't really know what to do with myself when I was young."

On having a difficult time dealing with jealousy by others:
"I was confronted by jealousy very, very early on, and when you're a kid it's hard to be different."

On what she'd be if she weren't a Hollywood star:
"I believe that you are where you should be and I believe that things that happen to you happen for a reason. So if it had never happened it would have been because I was meant to do something else."
