EXPRESS & STAR: ‘Brigitte Bardot says she sacrificed a pampered life for one of committed activism and death threats, but has no regrets. The glamorous actress-turned-activist claims she faced the threat of death while protesting against the killing of seals. Bardot, 84, has said leaving the securities of a film star’s life was difficult, but she has no regrets about choosing the isolation and danger of activism. The star was an aspiring ballerina before reaching an international audience as an actress in the late 1950s. Decades later she auctioned off personal belongings and jewellery to begin an animal rights foundation, which she says has cost her both her luxury and safety.

It was very difficult for me”… Her life is dominated by her work for the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, and has been transformed from the comfortable life she led as an actress. But she said “I don’t regret anything”, although the first steps into the world of activism left her feeling isolated.
