Career

Journalism career

Rousselle began her career as a journalist and editor. In 2016, she participated in the creation of General Pop, a cultural web magazine dedicated to emerging cultures.[2] The same year, she co-founded the feminist magazine Peach with the actress and singer Tifenn-Tiana Fournereau.[3][1] This magazine, created by women, highlights female artists and creators, in reaction to the lack of exclusively female artistic collectives in France. The review was launched on September 22 at the TDTF3 bar in Paris.[3]

The magazine wishes to set itself apart from the traditional women's press while targeting both a female and male audience. It also advocates inclusiveness, appealing for its realization to trans and non-binary people who are often marginalized in the professional world.[3]

Fashion and entrepreneurship

Passionate about embroidery, which she practices as a hobby, Rousselle created the company Cheeky Boom in 2012 with her boyfriend at the time, Jean André de Trémontels, a freelance graphic designer.[4] Cheeky Boom sells T-shirts and panties that are embellished with designed embroidery.[5][1][6][7]

In 2015, Agathe Rousselle became captain of a running and running team called Boost Pigalle, sponsored by sports equipment manufacturer Adidas. She is also a photographer and model.[2]

Film career

Rouselle took drama class from age 15 to age 22.[8] She began her acting career with minor roles and short appearances in feature films. In 2015, she played the leading role in 5 vagues de l'avenir, a short film by Laurent Perreau.[9]

In 2021, she starred as Alexia in the film Titane directed by Julia Ducournau.[10] Rousselle plays Alexia, a serial killer[11] who has an unusual sexual desire for cars.[12] The New York Times called the film "One of the Weirdest Prizewinners of the Year".[13][10]
