In 2010, Chriqui topped AskMen's "Most Desirable Women" list.[4]
Early life
Chriqui was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada,[5] the daughter of Moroccan Jewish parents.[6][7][8][9][10] Her mother, Liliane, was born in Casablanca, and her father, Albert, in Rabat.[11][12][13] Her family practiced Orthodox Judaism.[14]
Chriqui has an older brother, Serge, and an older sister, Laurence. When she was almost two, her family moved to Toronto, Ontario. She grew up in Markham, Ontario, a suburb northeast of the city.[15] Her mother, an aesthetician who once told Emmanuelle she would become an actress, died when Chriqui was sixteen years old.[16][17]
As a child, Chriqui's brother began paying for her to take acting classes. She attended the drama program at Unionville High School,[18] after having studied in high school in Paris and having done two years of comedy studies at the Perimony school (Paris, France), she decided to pursue a career in acting.
