Parents

Everything is clear about Jules's father- this is the director Samuel Benchetrit. he raised his son alone for the last 15 years. Samuel's wife and Jules's mother, French actress Marie Trintignant, died in 2003 at the hands of her lover, musician Bertrand Kant.

Careers in the fashion world

The young man with beautiful features and a loud surname, Jules already got behind the curtains of the fashionable world since the childhood. When the boy was 11 years old, he made his debut in the short Yves Saint Laurent film, which his father shot. Jules also appeared on the pages of L'Uomo Vogue.

Career in cinema
