After a series of rejections as an actor, Valois left France and studied massage at Wat Pho in Bangkok and worked as a massage therapist in Thailand for six years. He returned to Paris to open a massage studio. He was invited to act in 120 BPM after Robin Campillo read his Facebook profile.

Vanity Fair ranked him as the eleventh most influential French person in the world in 2017.
