Early Life and Education

Malou Khebizi was born in 2003 in Marseille, France, to an Algerian father and an Italian mother. Her ethnicity is mixed (Algerian-Italian), and her religion is not disclosed. She grew up in Trets, a small Provençal village, where she was a shy child.

She attended school in Trets until the end of middle school, then moved back to Marseille with her parents. Malou pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Media Studies at Sup de Pub, graduating in September 2021.

While studying, she worked various jobs, including as a sports coach, colony monitor, and barmaid, to support herself. Her early exposure to acting workshops and her multicultural upbringing shaped her expressive, determined approach to her craft.

Career

Malou’s acting career began with small roles in short films, including Marie Louise (2022), directed by Régis Fortino, who later informed her of a casting call for Wild Diamond (Diamant Brut, 2024). She sent a hastily recorded audition video from the basement of the restaurant where she worked as a barmaid and landed the lead role of Liane, a 19-year-old aspiring influencer chasing fame through reality TV.

Directed by Agathe Riedinger, the film premiered in competition at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, earning Malou widespread acclaim for her raw, intense performance. Critics, like Léa André-Sarreau of Trois Couleurs, noted her portrayal of Liane’s “rage to succeed” and awareness of classism and sexism.

In 2025, Malou starred in Garces by Manon Tacconi and is set to appear in Enzo by Robin Campillo, Love Me Tender by Anna Cazenave Cambet, The Girls We Want (Les Filles désir) by Prïncia Car, and the series Young Millionaires by Igor Gotesman, Mahault Mollaret, and Carine Prevost, playing Samia, a determined former footballer.

She also wrote a play, Earth Funeral, in August 2023, collaborating with artists from seven countries, and appeared in the music video “Where Do We Go?” in 2025. Signed with IMG Models and Adéquat Talent Agency, Malou balances acting with her creative pursuits.
