Candid: Speaking in an interview ahead of the release of a TV documentary on her musical tour across the US and France, Carla Bruni opened up about her family life and why she loves exhibiting herself

Speaking to Le Parisien newspaper, she said: 'It's as if there is an inconsistency in who I am, an uncertainty of being alive that pushes me to exhibit myself.

Years later, her successes show no signs of abating.

Carla, a former model turned chanteuse, is the current face of Bulgari and has appeared in several campaigns for the jewellery brand.

Despite her modelling commitments, most of Bruni's energy is currently being directed at her singing career and a world tour that has already stopped off in Vienna, Berlin, Aix-en-Provence, New York, Quebec and Los Angeles.

She has also been spending more time with her daughter Giulia, three, who was born while her husband Nicholas Sarkozy was still president of France.

In fact, Sarkozy has been elected as head of the conservative party leaving him clear to launch a campaign to return as the country's leader in 2017.

Happy for him: Nicolas Sarkozy has been elected as head of the conservative party leaving him clear to launch a campaign to return as the country's leader in 2017 and Carla says it 'doesn't bother' her

He was under pressure to win the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) leadership by a wide margin and received 64.5 per cent of the vote, well ahead of his nearest rival Bruno le Marie.

This victory advances Mr Sarkozy's hopes of running in the presidential race, and cements his return to the political scene after losing to Francois Hollande more than two years ago.

Speaking about his return to politics, she said: 'I trust him. It doesn't bother me. He doesn't get in my way and I don't have a problem with the life that comes with it.'
