Claire Romain leaves no one indifferent. Actress, painter, and free spirit, she radiates an energy that leaps from screens to canvases. At 29, this globe-trotting Parisian blends spontaneity and determination, with a touch of madness that adds to her charm.
A Childhood Nurtured by the Seventh Art
Claire didn’t choose cinema; it chose her. Her mother, a costume designer, and her stepfather, a chief machinist, almost raised her on film sets. At 8, she made her debut in Moi César, 10 ans ½, 1m39 by Richard Berry, where her disarming naturalness and sparkling big eyes instantly captivate. A few years later, she shines in the poignant drama Un Secret alongside Patrick Bruel and Cécile de France, before making a splash in Mes amis, mes amours.
Then comes a decade-long pause, where the actress seems to disappear from the radar. This voluntary withdrawal, shrouded in mystery, fuels the myth of an elusive artist.
From Barcelona to the Screen: The Blossoming of an Artist
At 17, Claire flees Paris for Barcelona. Not to lose herself, but to find herself better. There, she studies scenography, perfects her Spanish, and discovers a free and bohemian life. It is there that her passion for painting is born. Her works, true explosions of color, oscillate between the abstract and the exuberant, reflecting her overflowing energy.
But the call of the sets eventually catches up with her. In 2020, she makes a sensational return in Ici tout commence. Her role as Ambre Martin, a liberated and polyamorous young woman, marks a turning point in her career. "I share a lot with Ambre: no jealousy, no ownership. It’s a philosophy of life," she confides.
A Blazing Comeback
Claire doesn’t just return; she explodes. After shining in the theater in Le Malade Imaginaire, she takes on remarkable roles:
- Polar Park (2023): in this acclaimed thriller, she plays Claudine, a complex and enigmatic character.
- Les Petits Meurtres d’Agatha Christie (2023): Claire brings a unique vitality to an episode with retro and biting accents.
- Cat’s Eyes (2024): her role as Alexia Chamade, the youngest of the three thief sisters, in the live adaptation of the famous manga, confirms her status as a rising star. "Alexia is a fireball, a bit like me," she jokes.
Her talent and charisma definitively propel her among the actresses to watch.
An Artist at Heart
Alongside her acting career, Claire continues to paint. Her works, often exhibited in intimate galleries, demonstrate an extraordinary sensitivity. For her, painting is an outlet: "When I paint, I channel my emotions, it’s my bubble." Her artistic approach explores immediacy and spontaneity, always with a touch of fantasy.
Private Life: Between Mystery and Authenticity
Claire Romain, true to herself, has never been afraid to break the mold. She lived a six-year polyamorous relationship, embracing her modern vision of love with disarming sincerity. Today, she shares her life with Thomas Da Costa, whom she met on the set of Ici tout commence. Together, they embody a touching simplicity, far from the excesses of celebrity.
A Future Full of Promises
Claire Romain is anything but predictable. Her multifaceted talent takes her both to film sets and art galleries. Whether through her daring characters or her vibrant paintings, she constantly reinvents her universe.
With varied projects, a unique style, and a thirst for creativity, Claire is an actress who colors the world with a brilliance all her own. Her fans know it: this rising star of cinema and art has not finished surprising us.
