Early life
Exarchopoulos grew up in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, near the Place des Fêtes. Her father, Didier Exarchopoulos, is a guitar teacher, and her mother, Marina Niquet, a nurse. Her paternal grandfather was Greek.
Personal life
Exarchopoulos is good friends with Léa Seydoux, her co-star in the movie Blue is the Warmest Colour. In March 2017, Exarchopoulos revealed that she is expecting a baby.
Career
In 2006, Exarchopoulos was spotted by an agent and made her first television appearance in an episode of the French police series R.I.S, police scientifique. At thirteen, she had a role in the 2007 film Boxes.
She also appeared in the films Les Enfants de Timpelbach (2008), The Round Up (2010), Turk's Head (2010), Chez Gino (2011), Carré blanc (2011), Pieces of Me (2012) and I Used to Be Darker (2013).
She attracted international attention and critical acclaim for her performance in Blue Is the Warmest Colour, a 2013 film based on the 2010 French graphic novel of the same name. The film won the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Both Exarchopoulos and co-star Léa Seydoux were also awarded the Palme d'Or alongside director Abdellatif Kechiche, becoming the only women apart from director Jane Campion who have won the award; Exarchopoulos is the youngest person to ever receive the award.
She received extensive critical praise and her performance was cited as one of the year's best. Indiewire critic Eric Kohn stated that he believed Exarchopoulos' performance was the best female performance of 2013. Her performance was praised for its "rawness."
Exarchopoulos discussed her process with The New York Times, explaining:
In March 2014, she was in consideration to play Tiger Lily in Pan but lost to Rooney Mara. She then appeared in The Last Face alongside Javier Bardem and Charlize Theron, directed by Sean Penn, which premiered in competition for the Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.
She plays Judith in the 2015 period drama film The Anarchists. She is next slated to appear in The Racer and the Jailbird, a film by Belgian film director Michaël R. Roskam, and Orpheline, a French film by director Arnaud des Pallières.
