You definitely know this guy, Jonas Bloquet. Born on July 10, 1992, in Brussels, this Belgian standing 1.90 meters tall is nonetheless an actor you see everywhere without really knowing his name. But when you dig a little, you quickly understand that this young man has an impressive background.
Honestly, from the start, Jonas did things his own way. Almost a kid when he landed his first role in Élève libre in 2008, an immediate nomination at the Magritte Awards. Not bad, huh? He hadn’t even finished his studies!
The scale of his talent is what always struck me. He shifts effortlessly between blockbusters and auteur films. Have you seen him in Elle by Paul Verhoeven, playing Vincent opposite Isabelle Huppert? The age of his roles gives him a particular charm, truly.
And his fortune, well, nothing like Hollywood, but for a guy who mainly acts here and in Europe, it’s pretty good. Especially when you look at the variety of projects he embraces.
Who really is Jonas Bloquet? A rising Belgian actor
Jonas comes from Brussels, more precisely Watermael-Boitsfort, a nice but not very glamorous district. Far from the glitz, for sure. Before becoming this face we admire on screen, he was just a young student at the European school in Uccle, landing his first roles as a teenager. Not bad for a guy who didn’t want to be “just” an actor.
If you want to better understand his public identity, think of a multilingual guy (French, English, and Dutch), which opens many doors in international films. That explains his connections with directors like Luc Besson or Paul Verhoeven, big names who quickly sensed his potential.
Before fame: a young man who pushes forward
Moving fast is somewhat Jonas’ trademark. As early as 2007, an amateur casting gave him the leading role in Élève libre. Great, right, especially since he fit perfectly the young and fresh profile, all while having a stunning intensity. Then off to Paris to study dramatic arts and directing. Yes, the guy doesn’t do things halfway.
His training, between Eva Saint-Paul’s course and the École de la Cité founded by Luc Besson, clearly shaped the actor and director in him. He spent his young years with one eye on the camera and the other on the set, which is rare, I admit.
The major successes of his career
Well, let’s be honest, we know his face, but his roles really stand out. In 2016, a big breakthrough with Elle by Verhoeven. A performance that earned him a César nomination for Most Promising Actor. Naturally, it marks an important turning point.
His CV is broad. He acts equally well in thrillers like 3 Days to Kill as in darker, more dramatic universes like La Nonne. And did you see Tirailleurs in 2022? There, he plays a lieutenant, a challenging but perfectly mastered role.
He has connections with names like Luc Besson, McG (the director of 3 Days to Kill), or Michael Chaves who directed La Nonne 2. The guy is connected, no joke. Since he also directs short films, like Max in 2016, we have here a complete artist.

In his private life: a discreet and endearing man
When it comes to his private life, he remains quite secretive. Not a gossip person… No crazy stories or scandals. Which makes him almost rare in this profession. He shares his life without really spreading it around, and that’s a good thing.
His age gives him time to build something, and you sense the guy is already well settled in his mind. I admit it’s a refreshing change from the factory stars you see everywhere, he really seems authentic, with a truly humble side.
Even though he’s been in the spotlight for a long time, he manages his personal image with a lot of maturity, and that’s refreshing.
Little anecdotes and surprising collaborations
A funny anecdote? From his first role, he was the youngest nominee at the Magritte Awards. Not bad for a teen balancing studies and shoots. He speaks three languages fluently, a pretty handy detail given his international career.
He has worked with big names like Isabelle Huppert, Luc Besson, Michael Chaves… Honestly, it opened crazy doors for him, not to mention his small forays into theater, a real Swiss army knife.
These collaborations show his ability to navigate between styles and universes, which is not that common. And then, his 1.90 m height gives him a particular presence on screen, don’t you think?
What Jonas Bloquet has in store for 2026 and beyond
For 2026, he’s involved in several exciting projects. The mini-series Rivages, where he plays a striking character, but also other productions like La guerre des prix, still in postproduction.
He is also venturing into directing with a few short films coming up, showing he really wants to broaden his range. A real thinker, not just an actor.
I think it’s great that he works with young talents and figures like Antoine Vielle, it brings a fresh momentum to the whole industry.
Jonas Bloquet: a Belgian star on the rise 🌟
Clearly, this guy is not just an actor among many. He combines luck, talent, and above all iron will. His age still places him among the young in the profession, but he’s already beginning to establish himself as a pillar.
His journey, from Brussels to Paris, from the European school to international sets, is a true source of inspiration. He proves that you can get where you want, even starting from nothing special.
And then, his fortune is not an end in itself, he’s here to make art first. Not just to shine, but to last, and that’s rare in this field.
