Stacy Martin is a French actress born on March 20, 1990, in Paris. She rose to prominence with her debut role as the young Joe in Lars von Trier's explicit drama Nymphomaniac in 2013. The film featured unsimulated sex scenes where Martin used a porn double and prosthetic for comfort.
Though primarily a mainstream performer, her work in this arthouse film led to her being associated with adult content online. Martin grew up partly in Tokyo and London, studying media at the University of the Arts London. She has starred in films including Redoubtable, Amanda, The Night House, and The Brutalist.
Fluent in French and English, she has taken on diverse dramatic roles and served on film festival juries. Her career blends independent cinema with bold performances exploring sexuality and human experience.
