Roman Polański and Nastassja Kinski are a duo that stirred a lot of emotions years ago. Although there was a significant age difference between them, the press wrote about their alleged affair. The actress decided to make an honest confession and revealed whether there was even a grain of truth in these rumors.
Roman Polański admired the very young Nastassja Kinski
Nastassja Kinski doesn’t have the best memories of her childhood. Her parents separated when she was 10. She stayed with her mother, but a luxurious life was out of the question. It was only a few years later that the perspective (not only financial) began to change. This happened because of… unique beauty that talent scouts from the modeling industry began to notice.
A young girl was hired to work as a model, and its charm did not go unnoticed by the Polish director. He was so fascinated by her personality that he decided to help her with her career. However, the mother was not willing to do so agree to hand over his daughter to an older artist. It wasn’t until 1976 that things really started to spark between the two of them. Then the 43-year-old filmmaker stood behind the lens to photograph his favorite for French Vogue. From that moment on, their fates became even more intertwined.

Did 43-year-old Roman Polanski and 15-year-old Nastassja Kinski have an affair?
Roman Polański remembers the session in the Seychelles with only superlatives. He believed that she had a significant impact on the development of his relationship with the then 15-year-old model. After another three years, he offered her a role in the film adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s novel entitled “Tess.”
The Pole’s work went unnoticed, but rumors about an affair that allegedly took place between him and a teenager, were increasingly emphasized in the artistic environment. Did they really have something more in common than just fruitful professional cooperation? The person concerned herself spoke on this matter.

Nastassja Kinski commented on rumors about an alleged affair with Roman Polanski
Roman Polanski in the German Der Spiegel made it clear that Nastassja Kinski was more than a muse to him. He didn’t speak so kindly about all the women he worked with.
I had a purely professional relationship with most of the actresses, actually with all of them – except Emmanuelle Seigner, Sharon Tate and maybe Nastassja – he admitted.
For a long time, Nastassja Kinski was a little less enthusiastic about these stories. Only years later, in a conversation with Die Welt, did she reveal what really happened. She called Roman Polański “one of the most important people in her life”, for whom her fate was never indifferent. So was the ardent romance just a figment of the sensationalist press, or did it really take place?
There was definitely nothing. We had a deep, mutual understanding that we didn’t have to express in words. He knew my life wasn’t easy, and I knew the same was true for his. It really touched me, she concluded.
