Ah, Benjamin Baffie, here is someone who is finally being talked about a bit more seriously these days. Born in 1995, he is 30 this year, and, frankly, it feels like he is truly stepping into the spotlight at his own pace. This guy is 1.80 m tall and has that discreet charm that surprises – no wonder when you see his heritage.
Son of Laurent Baffie, you know, the slightly edgy comedian we either love or hate, Benjamin has carved his own path, far from easy, even if, yes, that definitely plays a role. Married? We know he is quite discreet so we will avoid speculating, but it feels like he prefers to live at his own pace, away from the big spotlights.
Before catching the public’s eye, Benjamin didn’t just ride on family fame. Until he was 18, he had another passion: professional horse riding. Yes, that kind of turn I love to hear about. He dropped everything to pursue acting, which shows he really follows his desires, not just a plan laid out by dad.
His real public comeback began around 2017 with the play Toc Toc. There, he revealed more of his talent and especially his desire. And recently, with his arrival on “Demain nous appartient” on TF1, it has created a real buzz. On that, you can read quite a few articles, like the one from Tribune Hebdo, if you want to dig a little into his news.
Benjamin Baffie: a French actor on the rise with a unique heritage
Benjamin Baffie is first and foremost the son of the famous comedian and host Laurent Baffie. You know, the one who often makes the audience uncomfortable with his frankness? Benjamin has that authenticity, but with more softness, a true contrast.
Born in Paris, it is in this city that he grew up surrounded by his three siblings, Jérémy, Melody, and Bastien. Regarding his public identity, you can feel that he chooses his steps seriously, he doesn’t just want to be “the son of”. Which is already a great struggle.
His face began appearing in 2003 in “Les Clefs de la bagnole”, the famous film directed by his father. A small role, yes, but a small seed planted very early. After that, he really focused on his studies, because yes, his parents wanted him to have a solid foundation before acting.
And the stage quickly became his favorite playground: the play Toc Toc in 2017 marked his true return, where he showed he was not just a mere heir but a real actor with his own vibe.
The artistic journey of Benjamin Baffie between theater, cinema, and television
In less than ten years, Benjamin has built a filmography where he has navigated with a certain ease between theater, cinema, and television. Not everyone can pull that off, admit it.
In cinema, we notably remember “Le Prochain voyage” in 2023 and “La Gardav” released in 2024, films that have gradually established his signature. Not the big Hollywood machine, but a nice balance between subtle roles and artistic challenge.
The big step, the one that finally made him known to the general public, came this year with “Demain nous appartient” 😲. Yes, that soap opera that’s been a hit on TF1 for years. Benjamin plays Romain Delorme, a role that suits him well and offers him enormous visibility.
There have also been nice appearances in series like “Balthazar” or “Capitaine Marleau”, little nods to his talent and versatility. You can also take a look at his full bio on AlloCiné to see all his works.
Some surprising anecdotes about Benjamin Baffie that show his personality
So, I love this anecdote: at 8 years old, Benjamin already had a foot in the world of cinema thanks to his father, but he only returned years later because it was really his choice. Not just a taste of the family cake.
In 2017, on the set of “Salut les terriens”, his appearance made a sensation. His physique, his way of speaking, sparked a real buzz on social networks. That day, he also spoke frankly about his complicated relationship with his father, without filter. It’s touching and very human.
There is also this little detail, a fan secret maybe: Benjamin was a professional horse rider, a demanding discipline that reveals a strong mentality. That might explain the certain serenity he exudes on screen.
For the curious, his full journey and this somewhat unexpected dimension of being a rider, you can read a quite complete interview on Gala, it’s worth it.
The private life and current projects of Benjamin Baffie, away from the shadow of Laurent Baffie
Although Benjamin remains discreet about his private life, he nonetheless plays the sincerity card when he talks about his ambitions. He’s not a star kid trying to dazzle, but a guy who is building himself slowly.
The star of the moment joined the daily series “Demain nous appartient” in June 2025 and his role is praised by fans. A real signature for him, which opens a huge field for what’s next. By the way, his father did not hide his pride, which is not always the case in artistic circles! 😊
Benjamin is also preparing several new projects and collaborations, always with the aim of diversifying his stage and film experiences – even if it means surprising people. That’s really talent, right? Always playing with his image and especially with his desire.
To follow his news and career, I recommend the article from Programme TV, which details his role in the series and his recent evolution better.
Why Benjamin Baffie truly deserves your attention in the French audiovisual landscape
Well, it’s simple, he has that something that makes you not forget him. You see those actors who are there but you confuse them with others? Not him. He has that rare mix of authenticity, a bit of quiet boldness, and real work on himself.
He is not just “the son of”, even if that helped him, he has built his own universe, his own choices, his own rants and his own successes. And I find that quite respectful and promising.
His arrival on “Demain nous appartient” is not trivial. It’s a series where he can reach a wide audience, but above all… rely on a story and a character with depth. Honestly, I’m curious to see what’s next.
