Camille Cottin is a French actress. Before her career began, she studied in London for five years before returning to France with a perfect command of English, allowing her to teach high school for a while, and she also took acting classes. She worked on the stage for almost 15 years, alternating between classical and boulevard scenes. She lands small roles in television series and in 2009 joins the theater workshop La Troupe à Palmade. In 2013, she spends a season on the series Pep's, then reveals herself to the general public with the series Connasse. The following year, she joined the cast of the comedy Les Gazelles and found herself starring in Connasse, princess of hearts, a feature film derived from the eponymous series and entirely directed in hidden camera.

In 2020, she broke through internationally by landing her first major English-language role in the third season of Killing Eve, then in the biopic House of Gucci alongside Lady Gaga, and in 2021 in the American thriller Stillwater.
