[edit] Life and career
Ulliel was born in Boulogne-Billancourt (a suburb of Paris) to a runway show producer mother and a stylist father.[1] He has a scar on his cheek as a result of a dog's scratch from when he attempted to ride the dog like a horse when he was six years old. He says it increases his emotional acting abilities because it looks like a dimple.[2] Ulliel attended the University of Saint-Denis, where he studied cinema. He began acting while he was still at school, appearing in Une Femme En Blanc, a film for French television. He also performed at the Cours Florent, where he was discovered by Les égarés director André Téchiné.
In 2007, he graced the cover of the January-issue of French Vogue with Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes.
Ulliel is the current face of Longchamp, a French leather and luxury goods company, along with Kate Moss.
Ulliel dated Cécile Cassel from 2005 to 2007.[citation needed]
[edit] Awards
Ulliel was nominated for a César Award on the category Most Promising Actor in 2003. In 2005, he won that award for his role in A Very Long Engagement, which co-starred Audrey Tautou.
