Early life
Cohen was born in the 19th arrondissement of Paris in France, the only child to Sephardic Jewish parents. His father, a perfume retailer, and his mother, a bank worker, divorced when he was five. His grandfather was a rabbi. He was raised in Pantin in the northeastern suburbs of Paris. At the age of 18 he abandoned his commercial management studies and embarked on a series of jobs, including selling windows. He decided to pursue acting studies after being inspired by attending theatre improv. He had also been exposed to cinema from a young age by his cinephile rabbi grandfather, introducing him to the work of Luchino Visconti and Jean-Paul Belmondo.
He took classes at the stage school, les Ateliers du Sudden, founded by Raymond Acquaviva. In 2000 he enrolled at the Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique.
