Life and career
Lemarquis is the son of French teacher Gérard Lemarquis and an Icelandic mother.[1] Lemarquis' most distinguishing physical features - his bald head, lack of eyelashes and eyebrows - are the result of him losing his hair at the age of 13 to Alopecia universalis.[2] He grew up in Iceland and France and studied theater at the Cours Florent in Paris, where he was a classmate of actress Audrey Tautou,[2] and the Reykjavík School of Fine Arts in Iceland.[2]
Lemarquis is a fluent speaker of Icelandic, French, English, German and Danish. As of 2004, he resided in France.[1]
