Thylane Léna-Rose Loubry Blondeau (born 5 April 2001 in the Ivory Coast). She is the daughter of footballer Patrick Blondeau and Véronika Loubry, an actress and television presenter. Blondeau began modelling at the age of four, walking on the runway for French designer Jean Paul Gaultier. Blondeau was cast in her first film, Belle et Sébastien 2: l'Aventure continue, to be released in December 2015.
Controversy
Blondeau worked as both a child model and a fashion model starting at the age of four. When she was ten,[3] she ignited controversy over the sexualisation of children in advertising and the media, due to her appearance in the Vogue Paris supplement, Vogue Enfants, in what is traditionally seen as adult clothing and make-up, despite her young age.[4][5]
