Adélaïde Leroux (born 30 December 1982) is a French actress, best
known for her role in the 2006 film, Flanders. She also played
prominent roles in a number of other films, including Martin Provost's
Séraphine (2008), Ursula Meier's Home (2008), and Andrew Kötting's
Ivul (2009), and has appeared in numerous short films and stage
roles.Leroux was born in Hazebrouck, in northern France, in 1982. Her
father was a laborer, and her mother was a waitress. Having developed
a fascination with cinema while young, she began attending lectures at
Marguerite Yourcenar park near her hometown at age 13, and began
taking classes at the Espace Culturel Robert Hossain in Merville.
After graduating from Louis Blaringhem High School in Béthune, she
enrolled in Université Lille III in Lille, from which she would
obtain a performing arts degree. While in college, she played lead
roles in plays such as Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler and Anton Chekhov's
The Seagull.While still enrolled at Lille 3, Leroux met director Bruno
Dumont, who recruited her for his 2006 film, Flanders. Leroux played
the role of "Barbe," an emotionally unstable woman whose boyfriend is
called up for military service. She later recalled investing heavily
in this role, driven in part by Dumont's perfectionism. Leroux
accompanied Dumont and co-star Samuel Boidin to the 59th Cannes Film
Festival, where Flanders won the festival's Grand Prize.Following the
success of Flanders, Leroux played "Minouche," a supporting role in
the Martin Provost film, Séraphine. In Ursula Meier's 2008 film Home,
Leroux plays "Judith," the rebellious, hedonistic eldest child in an
increasingly neurotic family. She played the role of "Freya" in
experimental director Andrew Kötting's film, Ivul, a role she
described as challenging, but "poetic." AdÃ(c)laïde Leroux Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
