Biography

Lucie Zhang was born on October 27, 2000 in Paris, France. She is an actress, known for Paris, 13th District (2021), No One Will Know (2025) and Rose is a rose.

[being French-Chinese and bi-lingual] If I've got too many emotions, I automatically say everything in Chinese. Chinese is my intimate language, and French is my intellectual language.

[growing up French-Chinese in Paris] When I was younger, I didn't have many friends. I wasn't really integrated into French society, at school, etc. I spent most of my time watching Chinese TV series and speaking to my parents.

[filming sex scenes] Bed scenes are less scary than a really simple scene where you're just the character and you have to be extremely focused. Whereas with a sex scene, it's something you're used to doing, and there's a switch inside your brain.

[(2022) the type of film she wants to make] A Chinese action film with flying and beautiful costumes. What I mean is: they are heroes, they are flying, they've got powers. It's a bit cheesy, but really not cheesy. It's really magic.

[on performing nude for the first time in Paris, 13th District (2021)] But it happened without being awkward at all. Maybe because before even before entering the rehearsals, after meeting the director just one time, I started working with the casting director [Christel Baras] and my scene partner. We arrived and then she told us, "Okay, take off your clothes, we are gonna work nude." It's just like we were wearing a costume, which is the nudity. The nudity is a costume. So, from the beginning we did that. And at the beginning, for just the first three seconds, it was really hard, but then nothing. It's completely natural.
