Adèle Haenel

Adèle Haenel, born on February eleventh, nineteen eighty-nine, is a prominent French actress and political activist known for her compelling performances in both film and theater. She began her artistic journey at a young age, making her film debut in Les Diables in two thousand two when she was just twelve years old. Her early start laid the foundation for a remarkable career that would see her rise to prominence in the French entertainment industry.

Haenel's breakthrough came with her nomination for a César Award for her role in Water Lilies in two thousand seven, which also marked the beginning of her collaboration with acclaimed director Céline Sciamma. Over the years, she has received numerous accolades, including two César Awards from seven nominations and one Lumière Award from two nominations. Her first César Award was for her supporting role in Suzanne in two thousand fourteen, followed by a win for Best Actress for Love at First Fight in two thousand fifteen.

Her talent continued to shine through in films such as BPM (Beats per Minute) in two thousand seventeen, The Trouble with You in two thousand eighteen, and the critically acclaimed Portrait of a Lady on Fire in two thousand nineteen. However, in two thousand twenty-three, Haenel made the bold decision to retire from the film industry in protest against its sexism and patriarchy, redirecting her focus towards stage work and political activism.
