Lucien Leon Laviscount, the new boyfriend of Colombian artist Shakira, was born on June 9, 1992, in Burnley, England. His artistic career dates back to childhood: at age 10, he appeared in an advertising campaign for the renowned department store Marks & Spencer, marking the beginning of a professional path in the entertainment world.
From a young age, he ventured into British television with roles in teen series like “Grange Hill,” and later participated in iconic British soap operas such as “Coronation Street” and “Waterloo Road.” This experience allowed him to establish himself as a recognizable face in the international media.
His breakthrough to wider recognition outside the UK came through American productions. Among his most notable credits are “Scream Queens” (2015), in which he played Earl Grey, and “Emily in Paris,” the Netflix series where he brought Alfie to life, a role that earned him greater global visibility. The series has become a cultural touchstone, and Laviscount’s role has significantly boosted his profile.
In 2024, Laviscount also starred in “This Time Next Year,” based on a popular novel, and appeared in Shakira and Cardi B’s music video for “Puntería,” the same project that sparked much of the media interest in his relationship with the singer.
