2024, definitely the year of Souheila Yacoub. The Geneva actress has proven herself in cinema and television, joining the cast of the big Hollywood production Dune 2 alongside Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.
A taste for games that dates back to childhood. A childhood in Geneva in the commune of Chêne-Bourg. Souheila first embarked on a sporting career within the national rhythmic gymnastics team. Not selected for the London Olympics, she turned to modeling and became Miss Suisse Romande 2012 with already a head full of dreams.
From the podiums to the stage, Souheila Yacoub went to Paris to study theater and quickly the 7th art became an obvious choice. In Climax by Gaspard Noé, the series Les Sauvages broadcast by Canal+, or in certain clips by his companion the rapper Lomepal. At the end of the year she is starring in two French productions, Les Femmes au balcon by Noémie Merlant and Planète B by Aude Léa Rapin. For the latter, Souheila is a real Swiss army knife…
In 2025, she will play for the first time in a historical film and many doors are opening to her. But then, within this Parisian microcosm, has Souheila Yacoub become a French actress like the others? “No, I’m still seen as a Swiss,” the Genevan responds with a smile. A talented Swiss actress to follow very closely.
