"Marion Cotillard has admitted that it was quite a challenge to learn English. The French actress - who won an Oscar for La Vie En Rose - explained to NPR that she studied the English language more seriously after landing Hollywood roles.  &amp;quot;Well, first of all, I love the English language, so it makes it easier [to learn],&amp;quot; she declared. Cotillard continued: &amp;quot;And also when I was in Los Angeles in 2008, and I met with Michael Mann and he - we did this movie together, I really had to work on my American accent. And I worked for four months, every day, with a dialect coach, and I improved my English a lot. &amp;quot;I still have a lot of work, but I feel much more comfortable than a few years ago when I got here and I couldn&amp;#039;t express myself properly.&amp;quot; Cotillard has landed a variety of high-profile roles in English-language films in recent years, including Nine, Inception and The Dark Knight Rises. Her current French-language romance film Rust and Bone is now playing in the US and the UK.  The actress revealed earlier this week that she went through a &amp;quot;violent&amp;quot; period of weight loss after giving birth to son Marcel in 2011.
