Early life and education
Joséphine Jobert was born in Paris, France. Her father is from a Sephardic Jewish and Pied-Noir family from Algeria, and her mother's ancestry is Martiniquaise, Spanish and Chinese. Jobert comes from a family of performing artists, including her paternal aunt Marlène Jobert and cousins Eva Green and Elsa Lunghini. In 1997, aged 12, Jobert moved with her parents to Montreal, Canada, for eight years, where she studied singing and acting, and took her first steps into television. With her friends and her parents, she participated in the creation of songs, videos, a web series, and a television series on the internet. She attended drama workshops by Stéphane Belugou as well as Coda Music School.
