Early life

Wanecque was born on 26 July 2006[1] in Valenciennes, Hauts-de-France.[3][4] She attended the Jules Ferry School in Anzin.[5][6] One day as she was leaving the school holding her little sister in her arms, she came across three women who were distributing flyers for a casting and caught the eye of the casting director of the film The Worst Ones, who left her number with Wanecque.[6] She passed the audition and then quit high school to devote herself to a film career.[6][7][8]

In 2022, Wanecque made her film debut with a starring role in the drama The Worst Ones, directed by Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret,[6] for which she won the Rising Star Award for Best International Young Actor at the 2022 Rome Film Festival,[9] and was nominated for the César Award for Most Promising Actress in 2023.[10] She next starred as a teenage boxer in Ali Marhyar's comedy Like a Prince (2023).[11][12]
