You probably know this face, but maybe not all the details of his life yet. Jonas Bloquet is the kind of actor who surprises you as soon as he appears on screen. Born on July 10, 1992, he is just 32 years old in 2025, and measures about 1.80 meters. Pretty impressive, isn’t it?
Originally from Brussels, this guy started to make his way in Watermael-Boitsfort, a quiet area you don’t easily forget. He has cinema in his blood. Yet, before making the sets vibrate, he had a fairly classic life, with a science baccalaureate in hand, then off to Paris, the city of light.
I assure you, his journey is not smooth at all. Between his first years juggling drama classes and directing studies, he showed crazy determination. He took his time, often in the shadows, but guided by well-chosen mentors.
He’s also a versatile guy who doesn’t just act. For a few years now, he has also been trying his hand at directing, with short films that are anything but small projects, believe me. You’ll understand that you shouldn’t underestimate him.
Who is Jonas Bloquet: a Belgian actor with a vibrant career
So there you go, Jonas is a true Brussels native, a guy who speaks French, obviously, but also English, because cinema is not just local. At 32, he wears several hats: actor, director, and he even trained at the Cité du cinéma in Saint-Denis, which, between us, shows a real love for his craft.
This piece of the Belgian puzzle has an identity all his own. In cinema, he moves between roles in auteur films and more mainstream productions, which gives a rich and quite exciting mix. He always keeps that European touch in his acting; you can feel that nuance, that authenticity that makes him truly unique.
Never caught up in the frantic race for easy fame, Jonas keeps his cool head. No highly publicized wedding or useless buzz about his private life, he prefers to let his work speak. He is discreet, and that’s quite refreshing, believe me.
But he’s also a hard worker, a real one. Few people know that in addition to his talents in front of the camera, he directed several short films from the start. In 2015, his school film “Conte sur moi” with him in a leading role started making noise in cinema circles.
Before fame: promising beginnings in European cinema
Honestly, the cool thing about Jonas is that he started young, very young even. At 15, he was already in front of the camera, in a Belgium that we gradually discover through his first roles. His first big break was with Joachim Lafosse in “Élève libre” in 2008, a film that got noticed for its accuracy.
No wonder it earned him a nomination for the Magritte Award for Most Promising Actor. That kind of recognition at that age really gives you a big boost. Then he followed up with small roles in short films, just to hone his craft — you know, those moments when you train like an apprentice wizard of cinema.
It’s also then that he started directing, a true desire to touch everything. In 2014, he directed “Le comble du bourreau” and “Max,” his own script in hand. It shows how much he didn’t just want to be a simple actor, but really create from A to Z.
I like this idea of a guy who builds, who doesn’t just endure projects. Jonas is a film builder, a storyteller in all its forms. Something tells me that’s why he attracts all these looks.
A career exploding over the years with memorable roles
You have surely seen Jonas in “Elle” by Paul Verhoeven. This film was really a springboard, with Isabelle Huppert as a co-star, that you don’t forget. His nomination for the César Award for Most Promising Actor was a kind of confirmation: yes, this guy will matter.
But he didn’t stop there. From “La Nonne” to “Germinal,” and including “Valerian,” he has taken on an incredible range of roles. Little by little, he becomes that face we recognize on the big screen.
Besides, he continues to shoot for television, with series like “La Guerre des Prix” or “1899” on Netflix UK. There, I confess, he proves that he’s not stuck in one style or genre. A true force of nature!
With projects in 2025 like “Bianco” and “La Guerre des Prix,” his future looks really promising. An actor working with talented directors – it’s the perfect combo for what’s next. If you want to take a look at his full filmography, it’s perfect here on AlloCiné.
A discreet private life and passions behind the camera
What I appreciate about Jonas is his relative discretion about his personal life. No big celebrity stories, no scandals. Just a focused guy who works. He clearly lives for his projects, his cinema, his writing.
And then, as for passion, there is his directing. In 2025, he releases “De l’au-delà,” a short film that was very noticed. It clearly shows he still keeps the desire to tell stories, to create, and not just to be in the spotlight.
He certainly has plenty of stories up his sleeve, especially since he has also touched theater. A different but complementary expression that must feed his acting in a crazy way.
Urban and cultured, he sometimes shares a bit of his life and projects on his Instagram, where he shows another side, more spontaneous and relaxed.
