Ulliel was born in Boulogne-Billancourt (a suburb of Paris) to a runway show producer mother and a stylist father. He has a scar on his left cheek as a result of an attack from a doberman when he attempted to ride the dog like a horse at the age of six.

He also performed at the Cours Florent, where he was discovered by Les egares director Andre Techine.

The film for the campaign was directed by Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese and debuted in August 2010.
