Career
Valois ceased studies at law school[2] and began to study acting at the Cours Florent drama school for two years.[3] After a series of rejections as an actor, Valois left France and studied massage at Wat Pho in Bangkok[2] and worked as a massage therapist in Thailand for six years. He returned to Paris to open a massage studio. He was invited to act in 120 BPM after Robin Campillo read his Facebook profile.[4][5][6]
In 2017, with the international release of 120 BPM, the film's campaign for the 2018 Oscars nominations, and his ability to speak English, he became known internationally.[7][8] Vanity Fair ranked him as the eleventh most influential French person in the world in 2017.[9]
