In 2024, she caused a sensation in the role of Loana in the series Worship which looked back on the creation of the reality TV show Loft Story. This May 27, she will be on display in Everything is going greatthe story of a man torn between his new love affair and his mother’s illness.
LIBERTY
Marie grew up in the Bordeaux countryside, in the heart of a medieval village, between freedom and artistic excitement. She played outside, explored the surrounding caves with her brothers and sisters. At her father’s, a jazz musician, the house vibrates with live music: “There were always people in his studio, a great memory.” At her mother’s, a painter and sculptor, the works dot the living room. At 6, she started theater, “my thing”, she slips.
WEBCAM
At college, a laptop opens up a new playground: the webcam. She films herself there for hours, fascinated by the idea of forgetting herself in front of the lens to better rediscover herself afterwards. “I’ve logged a crazy amount of hours sleeping…“Â She makes psychedelic montages of her moments of absence (lost looks, yawns…) and also films her family to make little birthday videos, “things that touch“.
WORSHIP
Arriving in Paris eleven years ago, she moved around quite quickly, without immediately landing the role that would change everything. She does a series of odd jobs: employee in a bakery, saleswoman in a thrift store, waitress. “When people see you in a movie, they think your career is launched. For them, it’s impossible that you’re a waitress again, they think you’ve lost it.“Â
Everything speeds up when it comes out Worship, in which she plays Loana, the winner of the reality TV show Loft Story.Â

SUPER
In Everything is going great, Marie Colomb plays Anaïs, a sunny young woman in love with a boy with an invasive mother, played by Noémie Lvovsky, “an incredible actress, always in the present moment”, she confides. If she does not play a comic role strictly speaking, the experience makes her want to explore this register further. “My boyfriend would say that I’m very funny, a real clown in private.“
NOTEBOOK
At the beginning, she hesitated to take lessons, fearing being formatted. “I came back to that,” she said after her visit to Studio Pygmalion. Before each shoot, she prepares a notebook, noting for each scene the emotional states of departure and arrival. “Especially for series, because you can quickly get lost…” The roles accompany her constantly, even in her daily life with her partner, also an actor. “They look like two crazy people.”
Everything is going great, by Patrick Cassir, also with Hakim Jemili, Noémie Lvovsky… In theaters May 27.
