Brigitte Bardot reportedly struggled with motherhood and later spoke about the difficult relationship she had with her son.

Nicolas ultimately moved toward a life far removed from his mother’s entertainment career. In 1984, he married Norwegian Anne-Line Bjerkan and settled in Norway. The couple had two daughters, making Bardot a grandmother. Sources identify the daughters as Anna-Camilla and Théa-Joséphine, although some reports reverse the years attached to their names. The family has generally maintained a very low profile compared with Bardot herself. Nicolas’s choice of privacy appears particularly understandable given the intense public scrutiny surrounding his childhood and his mother’s fame. By the later years of Bardot’s life, the Norwegian branch of her family remained largely outside celebrity culture.

This is where claims that Bardot’s granddaughter simply “followed in her footsteps” need important qualification. Bardot had two granddaughters rather than a single granddaughter whose career directly reproduced her own. Reporting after Bardot’s death described Anna-Camilla as working in law and identified her as a lawyer connected with Norwegian business organizations. Théa, meanwhile, has worked in television and video production. Sources describe her involvement with the media industry primarily behind the camera, where she has been involved in designing, producing and organizing video projects. Therefore, Théa has a genuine professional connection with visual media, but calling her another Brigitte Bardot or suggesting that she recreated her grandmother’s acting career would be misleading.

Some older online profiles have described Théa as having done modeling work, which may explain how the “following in her footsteps” story developed. However, newer reporting emphasizes her career in television and video production rather than presenting her as an internationally known model or actress. That difference matters when writing a factual biography. Bardot became a global celebrity before she was 25 and spent years as one of the most photographed performers on Earth. Her granddaughter has maintained a much more private career and life in Norway. The family connection is interesting precisely because the two generations made such different choices about fame. It is therefore more accurate to say that Théa entered a creative media-related field rather than claiming she became the next Brigitte Bardot.
