Biography

Alexia Barlier is a French actress born in Paris, France. She was brought up in both French and English language. She stars in the Michael Bay film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016). Alexia is fully bilingual and has dual nationality. Growing up in Paris with a New Zealand ballet dancer mother and a French art dealer father exposed her not only to many cultures, but also to many languages, with French and English spoken at home in equal measure. She discovered her talent in acting at the age of 14 when she played Viola in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night on stage. She started taking acting classes soon after, and got her first part at 18 on the feature film 24 Hours in a Woman's Life by French director Laurent Bouhnik. That confirmed her love of acting and that she would definitely do it as a career. Alexia was revealed in 2007 as an Adami talent at the Cannes Film Festival for her part in the short films of Comédiennes by the Larrieu brothers and the same year for playing Magda, Daniel Auteuil's mistress in Conversations with My Gardener by famous French director Jean Becker.

Known For

The Aerobics Project
7.5

The deliciously upbeat Aerobics Project brings together a delightful concoction of disco music, female empowerment… and spies! The feel-good series swoops us back to the early ’80s, when the French aeronautics industry was just getting off the ground. A buff American Jane-Fonda type (who’s actually named Jane) moves into a sleepy Toulouse suburb and turns the community upside down by introducing a handful of local women to aerobics. First and foremost among them is her clever next-door neighbor, Karine, the frustrated wife of a local aeronautics engineer. Jane’s aerobics class is soon the talk of the town, changing attitudes and knitting together a sense of mutual support and female bonding. There may be more to the beguiling American than originally meets the eye… but the lives of all these women will never be the same again.
