Sofia Boutella dances.
 Boutella described her childhood as a happy one, stating that she was "blessed to be born into a family that allowed me to express myself, to be myself and let out all sorts of colours that were living in my imagination and in my heart
Although she has lived mostly in France since age 10, Boutella maintains strong ties to her Algerian roots and identity:Algeria is a country that is dear to me, because it's where I'm from, where my family is from, it's my home
