About me

I am an actor, writer, director, and TikToker.
I started out playing the lead role in the short film “Le jardin des Eden” (The Garden of Eden), which was officially selected for the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival in 2012.
I then met Laurent Bouhnik (Zonzon - 24 Hours in the Life of a Woman), who chose me to play the role of Alex in the feature film Q.
This role opened the door to filming abroad, such as the film 4.08 (an American-Filipino 3D film) in which I play the lead role.
I met Xiaoxing Cheng, who cast me in French Touch, a French-Chinese short film. I received the Best Actor Award at the Paris Courts Devant festival in 2016 for this film.
I then had one of the leading roles in the feature film Liebmann, which was selected for the 2017 Berlinale and for which I was nominated for Best Actor at the European Film Awards.
I recently starred in The Last Mercenary with JCVD for Netflix and in the short film Transition, which earned me several acting awards. I received the 2022 Acting Label from the Maison du Film for this film.
At the same time, I maintain a Tiktok page with videos raising awareness for the LGBTQIA+ cause (currently 85K followers and 4.5 million likes).
