The young actress Claire Julien is known for her vivid role in the film "Elite Society." Six years have passed since the release of this film, and fans of the rising star did not wait for the next role of the actress. You can get acquainted with the biography of Claire Julien in the article below.
Family and early years
Claire Alice Julien was born on January 11, 1995 in Los Angeles (California, USA). The girl was born in the family of housewife Anna Julien and the famous Hollywood cameraman, as well as director Wally Pfister, winner of the Academy Award for his work in the 2010 film "The Beginning". Below is a baby photo of Claire with a famous father.
The novice actress is the average of three children. She has an older brother Nicholas and a younger sister, Mia. The reason Claire bears her mother’s name is unknown.
She dreamed of an acting career from the age of 8, periodically coming to the shootings to her father, but he himself tried with all his might to protect Claire from a cinematic career and did not "advance" her through his connections.
The Dark Knight debuts
On the day that Claire Julien made her film debut, her father tried hard to prevent this. In 2012, the film “The Dark Knight: The Renaissance of the Legend” was filmed, and Wally Pfister, being the main operator of Christopher Nolan for many years, worked on this film too. During the shooting of the scene with stolen jewelry, the director found that the statistics, intended for the role of maid number 3, have an inappropriate accent. Not wanting to waste time looking for another girl, Nolan, who knew the whole Pfister family, asked him to call Claire. The 17-year-old girl was just right for age.
The girl’s father unlocked for a long time, but the desire to help the director and his long-time friend forced him to invite his daughter to the shooting. Claire coped well with her small role, after which she repeatedly said that she first felt in front of the camera in her place, once and for all deciding to go the acting way.
"Elite society"
In the same year, Claire Julien decided to come to audition for a new film directed by Sofia Coppola. Subsequently, she said that she did not even take an interest in the plot of the film and performed terribly on the tests, but the director noticed the necessary potential in the girl and invited her to the role of one of the main characters.
The plot of the picture "Elite Society" is based on real events and tells the story of a group of teenagers from Los Angeles who, admiring and envious of the glory of Paris Hilton, decide to rob a socialite, thus bringing their rich life closer.
In the film, Claire Julien played the role of a girl named Chloe, the prototype for which was Alexis Neyers, who actually participated in the robberies of celebrity houses.
In the group of protagonists, Claire turned out to be the only Los Angeles native - other actors were born in Chicago, Gulfport, Readington or are generally loyal to the United Kingdom, such as the star of the film Emma Watson. This fact also affected Sophia Coppola when choosing an actress - she wanted Claire to infect her colleagues with the true spirit of the “city of angels”.
Critics very warmly accepted the work of Claire Julien. They noted that if the aspiring actress acted naively, unable to cope in some moments, then this was compensated by her sincerity, lively gleam in her eyes and genuine charisma.
Work with V Magazine
Immediately after the release of the film Elite Society, Claire Julien was spotted by several fashion photographers. She received many offers for shooting, but, not wanting to disperse, the rising star signed a contract with the famous V Magazine, taking part in a number of advertising photo shoots. In addition, Julien worked as a model for Vogue, Nylon and Los Angeles Confidential.
Personal life
In 2012, Claire Julien began dating Hollywood investor Gio Mancuso, who was 11 years older than the girl. Their relationship continued in 2013, but at the moment nothing is known about Claire’s personal life.
