Valérie Leroy

My name is Valérie Leroy, and I'm an actress as well as a director and screenwriter. My second short film "Let me dance" was nominated for a Cesar in 2019. I am represented by Ivan de Labbey at VMA.

You've seen me in "Les Bleus" (the rookies), "Merci les enfants vont bien" and a German film "Auf der suche" by Jan Krüger, which was at the Berlin Film Festival. I've played a lot of seemingly fragile characters who rebel by killing their pimp or harassing their rapist.

And it's true that I really like to play women who are cerebral and solitary: scientists, inventors, lawyer etc.

But I'm also attracted to characters who are more troubled or even villainous because that's really fun for me. I played a female politician at the Théâtre de la Tempête and I really enjoyed it !
