Originally from Avignon, he quickly discovered the theater thanks to his parents (his father was an engineer and his mother a professor of literature). At the age of six, he accidentally met Agnès Varda, who cast him in the short film she was shooting in Avignon at the time. The short film is called 7 rooms kitchen and bathroom.

After his baccalaureate, he left for Paris to follow theatrical studies at the Périmony course. He then joined the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art, where he studied from 1997 to 2000, in the classes of Stuart Seide and Jacques Lassalle.
