Here are some photos of French actor Vincent Cassel and his girlfriend Narah Baptista in Paris on Thursday. They attended the Alexandre Mattiussi Menswear show during Paris Fashion Week – I think Cassel is a personal friend of the designer, and Cassel had previously walked the runway for Mattiussi’s collection last year.
I did a double-take when I saw these photos – while Narah is not a carbon copy of Vincent’s most recent ex-wife, Narah certainly bears a passing resemblance to Tina Kunakey. As we discussed previously, Vincent and Tina had a dramatic falling out a little less than a year ago. She deleted all of her IG photos of him and he did the same. Then he basically refused to stop banging women in Brazil. They apparently divorced pretty quietly last year, and for months, Vincent has been loved up with Narah in Brazil. I always thought his marriage to Tina fell apart when she gave birth to their daughter, and now he’s with someone who looks like she could be Tina’s childfree sister? Tina and Narah are close in age too – both are 26/27. Vincent is 57. A dirty old man, truly.

Disgusting. Fetishizing women of color while being a dirty old goat.
Exactly. I hope “there’s no fool like an old fool” rings true here and all of these young women are wringing every cent from his pockets so they at least have the financial resources to apply to their own lives and goals (and therapy) after they are done dealing with him.
He’s definitely siphoning life force off of them. Ridiculous old man.
What a disgusting ra cist comment.
Preferring woc or black women does not mean you have a fetish for them.
Doubt you’d say he had a fetish if he married/dated two young blond women in a row.
Good on you, Bravo. You are spot on.
Preferring woc or black women does not mean you have a fetish for them but saying that dating them means you have “jungle fever” (his words) sounds like a fetish.
Allegedly, If he is a dirty old goat it may not have anything to do with dating someone younger or POC. An age gap does not make you a dirty old goat.
Quick question: do you call all the actors that only have relationships with white women dirty and fetishizing or it is that reserved for partners of black women?
Also, TWO. That’s how many relationships he had with black women, in his very long dating history. Funny how 2 black women get this treatment but dozens of white women dont, hmm?
You people can stop pretending you’re some kind of anti racist ally. We black girls can see right through you.
As a French black girl, I would also call Vincent Cassel dirty and fetishizing since he used the words “jungle fever” in a 2011 interview to talk about his past dating life…
She looks cute. Her surname has the Portuguese upper class spelling in case anyone is interested in knowing some trivia.
Please do explain how surname spellings are based on class. Never heard of that before. Thanks
Brazilian Portuguese simplified the spelling of many words, including family names. Batista would be the brazililan regular spelling. The p is mute. The OG spelling indicates either a more traditional family or someone trying to be fancier. Actors in Brasil tend to play with their names this way.
Now, I believe names and surnames spelling indicating differences in class for instance is quite common. There is even that TV character insisting her surname should be read ” Bouquet” instead of Bucket.
As I said, just a silly trivia.
Thanks, moderatelywealthy. That’s fascinating. And your comment below re race in Brazil.
Yes, can you say more about the spelling?
Women should be allowed to date whomever they want without their partners being maligned. Every criticism of Cassel reduces Narah Baptista to nothing more than a prop. Suggesting that she go after his money plays into the cliche that young women are gold diggers. I hope they’re happy together.
I fully support her agency to date a disgusting, fetishizing old man, while pointing out that he is, indeed, a disgusting, fetishizing old man.
Be careful with your language. You don’t know Vincent Cassel and to label his relationships with WOC as a fetish says more about you than it does him. But more to the point, what about him is so disgusting?
Given that most people date and marry within their racial group, and given the well documented history of white men treating women of color like exotic birds (not excluding centuries of sexual violence and perpetuating myths of WOC as hypersexual), responding with skepticism to a pattern of partnering with Black is fair.
For me, its a fetish if white people have a preference for Black partners, but no commitment to fighting antiblack racism. I don’t know if that’s the case with this guy, but skepticism is fair given the realities of racism.
OnThisDay-but…he doesn’t really have a “pattern of partnering with Black.” 2 women a pattern makes? okaaay…
Onthisday. You have internalized the very thing you accuse Cassel of, which is the notion that the only reason a white man would date a black woman is because of a perverted fetish. You’ve also more than implied that part of this fetish involves a power imbalance, with him having dominance over her based on their respective races.
Say this sentence out loud.
“responding with skepticism to a pattern of partnering with Black is fair”
This isn’t skepticism, this is old school prejudice that sees miscegenation as a moral flaw that can only be understood as deviant behavior.
2024 and yet here we are again.
Cassell spends a lot of time in Brazil and in the company of beautiful Brazilians, each to their own. My daughter and her friends are the same complexion as his ex and Gf and they totally think that is what rocks his boat. My friend worked as an Events coordinator in Rio and apparently it is no secret that that is his type. I don‘t know how many people you would have to be with in order for someone else to justly call you fetishizing, but I am not convinced he goes to Brazil to surf. I agree with Kaiser that he is a dirty old man. One of many.
Amazing little factoid… No matter how old he gets, “his women” stay the same age.
He’s the OG DiCaprio.
And I used to think he was hot…🙈
Yes! I used to love him, even in the Oceans movies.
Ah, so sad
He WAS hot once. He did not age like fine wine. Lol
He aged like fungus on a foot
Other than both being Black they don’t look at all alike to me. Tina is tall and curvy with big curly hair.
Race works a bit different in Brasil. She would not be considered black there, unless she identifies herself as such. She clearly has a lot of white and native in her features, so she would fall under the ” pardo” category- which means mixed.
Basically, we go by how a person looks, not only skin colour. Or how one self identifies. The one drop rule does not make sense for us at all because the typical brazilian features as such would be a mix.
I now hate to admit that I had quite the crush on him when he was in one of the Ocean’s Eleven movies, watching him doing capoeira really intrigued me. Now, not so much.
I don’t think they look alike at all. Tina was also not Brazilian, she’s French born with a Togolese father and a Sicilian mother. Age difference aside that relationship had the same problem as his other marriage, namely he lives in Brazil and his exes don’t and didn’t want to. Considering his dating history, he likes all kinds. He just likes them young. Exception being his likely affair with Eva Green when they filmed their tv show.
All of this. The age difference actually wasn’t the biggest issue between him and Tina – I followed both of them on IG because I’m nosy and they were hardly ever together. He was always in Brazil and she was always working – usually in Paris. Her career blew up right when they were getting together and I think he is someone who wants a partner who will follow him around.
He’s always done his own thing and has always been hitting on the ladies no matter who he was with. I used to live by him in the late 90s in Paris when he owned and lived in a building near Pere Lachaise. Rumour was his wife (Monica Bellucci) was never around.
I hope Tina is living her best life. She’s better off without this creepy old guy.
57 is not “old” . Creepy, ok, but let’s not use age to disparage people.
Relative to her, he’s absolutely “old.” (And he absolutely looks it.) He’s old enough to very comfortably be her father, which is creepy and gross.
Agree with Molly and Polly. Old relative to their age, not helped by his appearance.
Someone check his drivers license because he looks a lot older than 57. I would have guessed he was in his early 70s.
This probably won’t get read by many of you, but I have a few burning questions.
You think it makes a guy creepy if he dates younger women. What does it make a woman who dates older men? Is she creepy as well?
And if the same guy, aged 57, dates a 57 year old woman, does the creep factor disappear?
He is a rough 57. Looks like Gramps taking his granddaughter to dinner.
He is not attractive at all.
These women are getting a luxury vacation by spending time with him.
None of my biz I guess. But what a mid life crisis cliche he is, Ugh.
Yes because these women could never afford luxury vacations on their own 🙄
Tina was a model when they met and did her fair bit of traveling all over the world and is a successful actress now. Narah comes from an upper middle class background.
Hardly poor girls he picked off the streets as your comment suggests.
You have a very shallow opinion of women if you think they’re dating for luxury vacations. Believe it or not, there are women in the world who date older men by choice. Again, calling this relationship a mid-life crisis reduces Narah to a disposable thing. She’s not a car or a pair of leather pants.
57 is not old but he looks like an old 57. I thought he was much closer to 60.
So…58 or 59?! Your comment made me chuckle, not being wenchy.
He’s awful. He had an interview with the Guardian last year where he defended Andrew Tate, calling his ideas interesting. there was some stuff about men not being men anymore blah blah blah. When he got backlash in France he whined about cancel culture. He’s a nepo baby who’s always been a privilege idiot.
Nepo baby? Wow
To my knowledge he’s never been accused of misconduct, assault, etc. So I truly don’t see the big deal about his dating choices. He’s an anomaly anyway. Contrary to what the media would have you believe most men, even famous wealthy ones, marry women within their own age range. The number of relationships with huge age gaps is pretty minuscule. RE: Vincent, he’s incredibly charismatic and what I like to call dirty hot. I’d totes have a one night stand with him or steamy affair, lol.
Me too!
I’ve met him in Rio and he is very charismatic. A gentleman, very polite. Would absolutely have a hot affair with him lol
I met him at the airport once and I also have to say that he is so charismatic in person. Not creepy, not pushy, not aggressive or obnoxious. Flirty to an extent and an absolute pleasure to interact with.
I do not see him as attractive.
Some actors in his age range, IMO, are much more physically attractive.
Tim Olyphant, Brian Cranston, off the top of my head.
Btw, I wasn’t trying to say the women involved with him are not capable of paying for their own luxury vacations.
This actor and other actors from different countries, like Gerard Depardieu, I just don’t see anything attractive to me.
But, different taste for different folks.
What you said is these relationships are transactional, that the women ‘are getting luxury vacations by spending time with him’. You don’t have to like him but please don’t disrespect the women who do.
Boy, I am having an off day. Apologies.
I just can’t seem to get my thoughts out usefully.
I do not at all mean to say anything against these women.
My down vote is about him. Which I’ve tried to say more than once. Done now for the day.
He has some of the SAME f–kboi/ BDE Energy Davidson has 😋…I can DIG IT❣️ (For a temporary change of pace 🥳😬)
Well, she is certainly very beautiful.
