Chloé Coulloud

Chloé Coulloud is one of those names that just sort of sticks with you once you’ve seen her work. She popped up in The Soul Eater (2024) and, honestly, she crushed it. There’s something about the way she holds a scene—like, she’s not just acting, she’s living it. Before that, she showed up in Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque) back in 2010, and if you’ve ever dipped your toes into French cinema, you know that movie had some serious buzz. She fit right into that wild, artsy vibe, totally holding her own with some heavy hitters in the cast. And then there’s Nicolas Le Floch (2008), that TV series with all the mysterious, smoky Parisian corners. She wasn’t just a background face, she actually made the whole thing feel more grounded, more real, which is honestly rare in shows set in the 18th century. You can tell she’s got range—one minute she’s diving into dark, psychological territory, and the next she’s in a biopic, selling every line like it’s straight from her own life. People who follow French film already know her name, but even if you haven’t seen her stuff, you get this sense she’s just getting started. There’s a rawness, a kind of fearless energy she brings, whether she’s fighting off demons (literally or metaphorically) or just sharing a quiet, intense stare with another character. Basically, if you see Chloé Coulloud in the credits, you know you’re in for something good.
