Élodie Fontan is a versatile French actress who has transitioned from a child star into one of the leading figures in contemporary French comedy. Born on July 9, 1987, in Bondy, she began her career at a very young age in commercials for brands like Nissan and Disney before gaining national fame as Alyzée in the long-running television series Clem. Her film career reached new heights in 2014 when she starred in the massive box-office hit Serial (Bad) Weddings (Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?), playing Laure Verneuil. Shortly after, she became a core member of La Bande à Fifi, the comedy troupe led by Philippe Lacheau, appearing in nearly all of their major projects including Babysitting 2, Alibi.com, and Nicky Larson et le Parfum de Cupidon. As of 2026, Fontan remains a powerhouse in the French entertainment industry with several major releases. She stars as Tess in the 2026 film Marsupilami, playing the ex-partner of David (Philippe Lacheau) and the mother of their son Léo; her character is central to the family's chaotic adventure as they attempt to protect a baby Marsupilami on a cruise ship. In addition to this blockbuster, she headlines the 2025 fantasy romantic comedy Anges & Cie as Raphaëlle, a guardian angel trying to prevent a forbidden romance, and appears in the 2025 comedy Somnambule. Outside of her comedic work, she has recently showcased her dramatic range in projects like the thriller mini-series Prise au piège and the 2024 series Cat's Eyes.
