Cedric Cirotteau was born in 1980 in Villeneuve Saint Georges, France, as the youngest child of an orthopedic surgeon father and a dancing artist mother. He left for Saudi Arabia with his parents when he was still very young and studied in the American International School of Jeddah. After a few moves in the Near East, his family finally came back to Paris, where he still lives today. He graduated from Ecole Active Bilingue, an international school in Paris. He then studied Physics and Chemistry at University Paris XII.Cedric has trained in the martial arts since the age of 16, and holds black belts in Aikido, Judo and Jujitsu. This is how he was later discovered in 2005 by actor and fencer Juan Jimenez, who remains a close friend. Juan pushed him towards a career in stunts and acting. Cedric took stunts and fencing lessons with Patrice Camboni, a sword-master from the Conservatoire de Paris and studied acting in 2009 and 2010 at Studio Pygmalion, Montrouge, under coach directors Jean Michel Steinfort, Laurent Lebras, Jeanne Gottesdiener and Patricia Nagera. Cedric has starred in several commercials in France and Morocco and has made short appearances in feature and TV films. He is now represented by HR Creative Artists in London, UK.
