Early life and education edit

 
Audrey Fleurot in October 2013

Fleurot was born on 6 July 1977 in Mantes-la-Jolie, west of Paris. She is the singular offspring of a firefighter and actor from the esteemed Comédie-Français troupe, and a mother who worked as a nursery nurse.[1][better source needed]

After studying at the Lycée Lamartine in Paris, where she passed an A3 theatre baccalaureate, Fleurot studied at the University of Paris I - Panthéon Sorbonne (UFR Arts plastiques et sciences de l'art) from 1995 to 1997, then graduated from the École nationale supérieure des arts et techniques du théâtre in Lyon in 2000.[2]

Career edit

Initially, Fleurot pursued a career in theatre but soon gained widespread recognition for her talent in the fields of television and film. In 2001, she made a notable appearance in the music video for Sully Sefil's song J'voulais, portraying the role of a bank robber's girlfriend.[citation needed]

Four years later, she rose to prominence in her breakout role, when she played the Lady of the Lake in Kaamelott, and as the ambitious lawyer Joséphine Karlsson in the widely popular police drama, Spiral (fr: Engrenages). She also played the role of Hortense Larcher, the mayor's wife, in Un village français.[citation needed]

She was featured in a luminary interview conducted by Christophe Chabert in Act II of the documentary film Aux sources de Kaamelott. This documentary was produced between 2006 and 2010, servicing as a companion piece to the "Six Books" DVD collection of the popular TV series.[citation needed]

In 2011, her career included an appearance in the Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris, though Fleurot was disappointed that her part was largely cut during editing.[3] In the same year, she played a supporting role in the French film The Intouchables, which went on to be an international success.[citation needed]

In 2015, she appeared in the first season of Call My Agent!, playing herself.[citation needed]

In 2019, she starred in the mini-series Le Bazar de la Charité, which aired on TF1 and Netflix.[citation needed]

Personal life edit

She is in a relationship with actor-director Djibril Glissant [fr]. They have a son, born in late 2015.[4]
