Gilles Lellouche
Gilles Lellouche, a French actor and director born on July 5, 1972, in Savigny-sur-Orge.
After studying at the Cours Florent, Gilles Lellouche directed short films and numerous music videos, notably for NTM and MC Solaar. He made his first film appearances in small roles during the 1990s, before landing increasingly prominent roles thanks to films by Guillaume Canet and Yann Samuell. This was followed by a prolific acting career, spanning a wide range of genres, working with filmmakers such as Rémi Bezançon, Claude Miller, Cédric Jimenez, Jeanne Herry, and Quentin Dupieux. In 2004, he co-directed his first feature film, Narco, with Tristan Aurouet, then returned to solo directing 15 years later. First with Sink or Swim (2018), an ensemble comedy with a star-studded cast, and then with Beating Hearts (2024), a romantic musical drama for which Alain Chabat won the César Award for Best Supporting Actor. Both films were screened at Cannes and were huge hits with audiences.
