International audiences might recognise him best as Lucien, the cheeky Montmartre greengrocer’s assistant in the heartwarming 2001 Parisian blockbuster Amélie. But to French viewers, Franco-Moroccan Jamel Debbouze is even more of a household name – one of France’s most popular comedians, who started performing at an early age from a modest upbringing on a housing estate in a Parisian banlieue.
Against all odds, Debbouze’s school class at the Collège Gustave Flaubert in Trappes, a suburb 30km south-west of Paris, produced three famous names. One of his classmates was Omar Sy, who won awards for his role in last year’s critically acclaimed French movie, Intouchables. Also in the class was footballer Nicolas Anelka, who was in the French national team for 12 years as well as playing at Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and now Shanghai.

Jamel Debbouze (born 18 June 1975 in Paris) is a French-Moroccan comedian, actor, screenwriter, film producer and director.
Both of his parents were immigrants from Morocco who settled in the French city of Trappes. He grew up in the city's economically-deprived suburbs, and lost the use of his right arm when it was struck by an incoming train in 1990 (another young man of his age died in this accident). He always keeps his withered right hand in his pocket for this reason.
He gained success in the early 2000s with his role in the medicalsitcomH on Canal+ alongside Éric Judor and Ramzy Bedia, his stand-up comedy sketches and the role of Edifis in the massively successful live-action film adaptation of Asterixand Cleopatra, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra. He has worked extensively with Alain Chabat on several films (including Mission Cleopatra) and with other notable French comedians such as Florence Foresti, Fred Testot and Gad Elmaleh.
He also created the Canal+ Talent ShowJamel Comedy Club, which aimed at discovering and encouraging new French stand-up comedy talents. When the show ended, he opened a comedy theatre with the same goals and name in Paris. He's also the founder of the Marrakech du rire ("Marrakech of Laughter") comedy festival in the titul
