Stacy Martin (born 1 January 1991)[1] is a French actress. She is best known for her breakthrough role as the younger version of Charlotte Gainsbourg's character Joe in Lars von Trier's 2013 drama film Nymphomaniac.

Early life

Martin was born on 1 January 1991, and spent her early childhood in Paris. She moved to Tokyo, Japan when she was seven, where she lived with her French father, René, a hairstylist, and her English mother, Annette, until she was thirteen.[2] She then returned to Paris.[2] After finishing school, she moved to London to study Media and Cultural Studies at the London College of Communication whilst modelling on the side. She studied the Meisner technique of acting at the Actors' Temple.[1]

Career

In 2013, Martin starred as Young Joe aged 15 to 31, in Lars von Trier's drama film Nymphomaniac.[3][4] For her role in the film, which had real sex scenes and featured hardcore porn in some cases, Martin had a "porn double" and used a prosthetic vagina.[2][5] The role got her nominated for a Bodil Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. She was also a part of the Breakthrough Brits of 2014 which was organized by BAFTA to recognize emerging talents. She played Faye in Ben Wheatley's 2015 film High-Rise,[6] and Young Dora in Matteo Garrone's Tale of Tales, also in 2015.

Martin was a part of the Rag & Bone Spring 2014 campaign alongside Emile Hirsch. She also modelled for Miu Miu in their 2014 and 2015 Fall/Winter campaigns. She is also the face of Miu Miu's first fragrance.

In 2017, Martin appeared in a small role as the assistant of J. Paul Getty in Ridley Scott's All the Money in the World.[7]
