Omar Sy was born and raised near Paris, in a working-class family with West African roots. He started out in comedy, teaming up with friends for sketch shows and radio. His big break came when he moved into films and delivered a performance that made international audiences sit up and notice.

Since then, Omar has balanced big French films with Hollywood roles and a hit streaming series that turned him into a worldwide name.
