Gaspard Ulliel Biography
Ulliel, who was born just outside of Paris in 1984, began acting at the age of 11 and gained international fame for his role as a young Hannibal in 2007's Hannibal Rising.
In 2017, he received the Cesar Award for Best Actor for his portrayal in It's Only the End of the World, alongside Marion Cotillard and Lea Seydoux. He earned most promising actor in 2005 for his role in the World War One drama A Very Long Engagement, in which Audrey Tautou also appeared.
Saint Laurent, one of two biopics on Yves Saint Laurent released in 2014, was one of the films competing for the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival that year. Ulliel was hailed for his performance, but he lost out to Pierre Niney, the star of the competing film Yves Saint Laurent, at the Cesar Awards.
