Genevieve Chenneour is a British actor, writer, and former professional athlete representing Team GB, whose career bridges high performance and high art.
A former professional artistic swimmer with an Olympic scholarship, she trained and competed at World, European, and European Olympic Games before transitioning through the world of stunts, specialising in underwater performance (Rebecca, The End of It), firearms (The Old Guard, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard), and motorcycles (The Gentlemen, The Scurry). Drawing on her experience as part of the England Pistol Talent Squad, she became known for her precision and composure under pressure.
The pursuit of physical mastery was a natural continuation of her sporting career - yet it was the need for artistry and depth that ultimately led her to acting.
As an actor, Genevieve is recognised for her commanding screen presence and psychological nuance, portraying complex, intelligent women with emotional precision. Her work unites athletic discipline with creative intuition - a synthesis of body and mind.
Alongside her screen career, she has modelled for global brands including Marks & Spencer, Lululemon, Speedo, Team GB, Oysho, Puma, and Ader Error, and has appeared in publications such as Vogue, i-D Magazine, Arena Homme+, House of Solo, and Puss Puss Magazine.
As a writer, she explores transformation, identity, and resilience, tracing the intersection between discipline, performance, and the feminine experience.
Genevieve’s path from Olympic training to film defines her as a rare force - a multidisciplinary artist whose work embodies precision, power, and complete dedication.
