If she played in the film Cerise in 2015, in the drama Cigare au miel in 2020 and played in Les Amandiers and the series Les filles du feu, the actress did not go to a drama school. “I never had an idol, not even Tata!”, she exclaimed before specifying: “I protected myself a lot from this influence, she is an actress that I admire.

So, I don't know about the glitter, nor the red carpets, nor the image stories. My parents were more inclined to show me the negative aspects of the job…”.
