Jean Val Jean (born Emmanuel Delcour, June 19, 1980, Montluçon, Allier) is an actor, model and adult film performer who has also worked as a personal trainer and professional chef.
Delcour has made several relatively high-profile appearances on mainstream television, including Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Chopped.
2009
In November 2009 he appeared on Chef Academy, where he was described as being a graphic designer and having studied graphic design for five years in Bordeaux, France.
Over the course of the show, his identity as an adult performer was discerned by his fellow competitors, which the network then capitalized on.
Originally a France-based model, Delcour came to the U.S. to pursue a career in acting and cooking.
He has made several appearances, including on The Last Ship, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, CSI: Las Vegas and Jane the Virgin.
He's currently a professional private chef and personal trainer.
2018
Since 2018, Delcour has been painting and creating art pieces, an extension of his previous background in graphic design.
