Marion Cotillard stars in spoof Funny Or Die commercial

The French star introduces a new product to help women be taken more seriously in the work place.

She pokes fun at beauty commercials – and men’s supposed inability to look women in the eye because they are too busy staring at their breasts – in the 1 minute 17 seconds video posted on Funny Or Die.

Cotillard first appears in a black turtle neck fluttering her eyes at the camera as she says: “In America, anything is possible.

'It’s the land of opportunity, a place where dreams come true.'

Later she says: “But French women have known for centuries that to earn a man’s respect, you must make him look you in the eyes.”

Then she introduces the ‘product’ - false breasts that women can attach to their forehead to stop men staring at their chests.

Cotillard adds: “Introducing Forehead Tittaes by Janae. France’s best kept secret.'
