Anthony Bajon

Anthony Bajon, born April 7, 1994, hails from Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, France, and honestly, the guy’s had quite the ride in French cinema. You might know him best from “La prière” (2018)—yeah, the one where he pretty much knocked everyone’s socks off and snagged a Silver Bear for Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival. Not too shabby, huh? Bajon’s got this raw, magnetic presence on screen. He’s not one of those actors who goes unnoticed in the background; the camera straight-up loves him. What’s wild is how he flips between roles. In “La grande ourse” (2023), he takes on a whole different vibe, showing he’s not stuck in any one box. Then there’s “Tu mérites un amour” (2019), a film that digs into all the mess and beauty of love and heartbreak—he’s right in the thick of it, making you feel every awkward, painful, and sweet moment. Bajon’s not just an actor, either; he’s tried his hand at directing, proving he’s got more than just a good face for the camera. His performances are never over-polished, always coming off natural and a little bit unpredictable—kind of like life itself. If you’re hunting for someone who brings real grit and authenticity to French movies, Bajon’s your guy. He’s still young, but, man, his career’s already peppered with some serious highlights. No telling what he’ll do next, but odds are, it’ll be worth watching.
