Biography |
Clémence Poésy (born November 30, 1982) is a French actress
perhaps best known to English-speaking audiences for playing
Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and
Chloë in In Bruges. She also has an extensive body of work
in French-language films.
She has been featured in numerous magazines including the
covers of i-D in April 2007, Jalouse in October 2007, and
Nylon in April 2008.
Born Clémence Guichard in Meudon, France, the daughter of
Étienne Guichard and a French teacher mother, Poésy took her
mother's maiden name as her stage name. Her father gave
Poésy her first acting job when she was 14; she had two
lines. She has a younger sister, Maëlle, who is also an
actress.
Since leaving La Source, the bilingual and alternative
school she attended, at the age of 16, she has studied drama
at CNSAD, the Atelier International de Blanche Salant et
Paul Weavor, and the university of Nanterre, and appeared in
a number of French film, television, and stage roles. Her
first English-speaking role was in the BBC mini-series
Gunpowder, Treason & Plot where she played Mary I of
Scotland.
In October 2007, Poésy was announced as one of the
spokesmodels for the new fragrance by Chloé. In 2008 she
will work on Philip Ridley's Heartless.
She will not reprise her role as Fleur Delacour in the sixth
film of the Harry Potter series, as Fleur has not been
included in the script. However, there is a possibility she
may return for the final film. |
