Here are the 25 best actors of the 21st century according to the New York Times

On November 25, The New York Times published its ranking of the 25 best actors and actresses of the 21st century from around the world. In this top, we find two French actresses !

The classification of New York Times is already debated. Indeed, the 25 celebrities chosen by the American daily are very varied. First place goes to Denzel Washington, which is no wonder for reviewer AO Scott and co-author of the ranking: “He is beyond any category: he is an on-screen titan who is also a subtle and sensitive craftsman, with real old-fashioned stage training and a dazzling presence. “

In second position and just ahead of Daniel Day-Lewis, we find Isabelle Huppert who seduced the critics with The Piano Lesson, Drunkenness of power, She or Greta. That’s not all ! France is also represented by Catherine Deneuve ranked at the 21st position, just after Rob Morgan and before Melissa McCarthy.
