Kim Despatis Finds a New Passion on the Hockey Rink

Kim Despatis is trading some of her usual routines for time on the ice. The actress, known for playing Crown prosecutor Charlotte Cyr in the television series Indéfendable, says hockey has become a growing part of her life. In an interview with 7 Jours, Despatis described a busy summer that included performing in the play Le comte de Monte-Cristo. After that demanding stretch, she felt she needed a short break. She says she is now gradually getting back into everyday activities and filming, while also playing a lot of hockey. Her interest in the sport is set to take on a new dimension: Despatis will soon portray a hockey player in the film Sortie de zone. The role gives her enthusiasm for the game a particularly timely connection to her work, though the interview offers few details about the film or how she is preparing for it. The quieter parts of her vacation included gardening, cleaning and plenty of walks with her dog, Nora. Despatis also spoke about her projects and love life, but the available excerpt does not provide further details on those subjects. For now, her own account suggests a welcome balance after a packed summer: a pause to recharge, a gradual return to the set and a new sporting passion that is moving from leisure into a screen role.
