Jean Val Jean (born Emmanuel Delcour, June 19, 1980, Montluçon, Allier) is an actor, model and adult film performer[1] 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. 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.[2][3][4] Over the course of the show, his identity as an adult performer was discerned by his fellow competitors, which the network then capitalized on.[5] 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: Crime Scene Investigation and Jane the Virgin. He's currently a professional private chef and personal trainer.[6]
Since 2018, Delcour has been painting and creating art pieces, an extension of his previous background in graphic design.[citation needed]
