Contents 1 Life and career 2 Filmography 3 References 4 External links Life and career Àstrid Bergès - Frisbey was born in Barcelona, Spain, to a Spanish father and a French - American mother. She is the eldest among three daughters. Following her parents ' divorce when she was 2 years old, she moved to southwestern France when she was 5. She was raised in a small town near La Rochelle, where she acted in school plays as a hobby, but never saw acting as a possible career path as the countryside where she lived was very different from the movie industry, describing how she thought acting was `` not a profession ; it was something abstract ''. Her father later moved to the Dominican Republic, where she spent five summers working as a waitress. At age 17, she moved to Paris by herself to pursue a career in Osteopathy, but found herself moving around a lot, without knowing anybody in the area. Shortly after, her father died at age 46. Due to the incident, she describes realizing that life is too short and that her true ambition was acting. After graduation, she went straight to drama school. She is fluent in Catalan, Spanish and French. She started learning English for her role in Pirates of the Caribbean. She made her acting debut in 2007 on French television and has since appeared in films alongside Isabelle Huppert, Vincent Perez, and Daniel Auteuil. In 2008, she made her feature début in the film The Sea Wall. She began modelling in 2010, fronting French Connection 's spring / summer and autumn / winter campaigns. Personally picked by director Rob Marshall and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, she made her English language debut in 2011 in the highly anticipated sequel Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides. She landed the role of the mermaid Syrena, after a whirlwind of auditions in France, Hollywood, and the UK. She had to learn to speak English for the role. During filming in Hawaii, she was restricted from going out in daylight in order to keep her skin pale. She also starred in the Spanish film El sexo de los ángeles with Llorenç González and Álvaro Cervantes. The film was shot in Barcelona. She also played the titular role in the coming - of - age French film Juliette. After that, she starred in her second English - speaking feature film in I Origins as Sofi.
