Early life

Marlohe was born in Paris, France. Her father, a doctor who moved from Cambodia to France, is of Cambodian and Chinese descent, and her mother, a teacher, is French.[2][3][4][5] She originally held aspirations of becoming a pianist, as well as an artist, studying at the French arts school Conservatoire de Paris for ten years.[4]

Marlohe first appeared in 2007 in a French short film titled La discordance before appearing in French TV series such as Pas de secrets entre nous (2008), Femmes de loi (2008), R.I.S, police scientifique (2009), and Père et maire (2009).

She is best known for her role as Bond girl Sévérine in 2012's twenty-third James Bond film Skyfall. She is a strong believer in fate.[4] During an interview, she stated that she dreamt of acting alongside Javier Bardem six months before her Bond audition. After the dream, she knew that everything would be fine. It was not until the second audition for Skyfall that someone mentioned to her that Bardem might also be cast.[4] She starred in the 2015 film 5 to 7 and is set to appear in the upcoming 2016 film Weightless alongside Ryan Gosling, Natalie Portman, and Rooney Mara.
