Biography
Sofia was born in Paris. In 2009, Sofia Lesaffre's grandmother put her on the cast of Les Mythos (2011), which allowed her to get a small role in this comedy. Wanting to continue in this direction, the young Parisian is revealed to a wider audience three years later with Les trois frères, le retour (2014). The actress plays an important character, the daughter of Bernard Campan.
Sofia then has a secondary role in the comedy All Three of Us (2015) and drama Heaven Will Wait (2016), and then kidnaps the daughter of the boss of his parents in La nuit rebelle (2016). 2017 is an important year in her career with the science fiction film Seuls (2017), in which she plays the heroine who suddenly finds herself alone (or almost) in a deserted society.
