Anthony Bajon: Movies & Box Office

Born on 7 April 1994 in Villeneuve‑Saint‑Georges, France, Anthony Bajon began his acting journey at the tender age of twelve, stepping onto the stage of local French theatres and quickly establishing a reputation for emotional depth and naturalistic performance. From these early stage experiences, he transitioned to screen work, making his film debut in Léa Fehner’s 2015 drama Les Ogres, where he portrayed the enigmatic ‘young man of the caravan’. Over the next few years he amassed a diverse portfolio, appearing in films such as Rodin (as Auguste Beuret) and André Téchiné’s Golden Years (as the small‑time Vaugoubert), each role sharpening his craft and expanding his range. In 2018, Bajon delivered a career‑defining performance as Thomas, a 22‑year‑old drug addict, in Cédric Kahn’s harrowing film The Prayer; his portrayal earned him the prestigious Silver Bear for Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival, making him only the seventh French actor to receive this honor. The accolade was accompanied by nominations for the César Award for Most Promising Actor and the Lumière Award for Best Male Revelation, underscoring the industry’s recognition of his talent. Since then, Bajon has continued to work steadily, taking on varied roles in projects such as Merveilles à Montfermeil, A Radiant Girl, and the ambitious sci‑fi series Le Monde de Demain, demonstrating his versatility across genres. Looking forward, his upcoming films Beating Hearts and Maldoror promise to further showcase his evolving artistry, while his dedication to both cinema and theatre affirms his status as one of France’s most compelling young actors, constantly pushing the boundaries of his craft.
