How did you get scouted?
I had a really bad break-up and lost a lot of weight. I couldnât eat, I couldnât speak, I couldnât sleep. When I looked like a perfect skeleton, in the streets of Paris, i got scouted. Now I am back at being alive – I gained back my normal weight, but I stuck around.

I am mostly a writer – writing poetry, and working on a novel. I am also a drawer, painter and illustrator.I also discovered acting this year : I did a short film called « Kid », for which I wrote the scenario.
