Nicky Naudé's paternal lineage is steeped in intrigue, with his father being the son of a Cotroni mafia gangster, a government rebel, and a veteran soldier who fought in both World War II and Indochina. Following a daring bank heist, Nicky's father fled to Mexico, where his wife, Nicky's mother, established a successful career as a model and actress. After a few years, the family relocated to Montreal, Canada, where Nicky was born.
Nicky's father managed a nightclub called "Chez Clairette", which was owned by the notorious Cotroni, often referred to as the Canadian Al Capone. The club became a hub for his father's social circle, including the infamous Jacques Mesrine. After spending approximately 15 years in Canada, Nicky and his mother returned to France, with his father joining them a year later. However, their attempt at a quiet life ultimately led to his parents' descent into alcoholism.
Tragedy struck when Nicky was just 17 years old, as he was orphaned due to the untimely passing of his parents. Little did he know that his destiny was about to take a dramatic turn, courtesy of his involvement in the world of sports.
Nicky's athletic prowess led him to become the French and European junior champion in Full Contact - American kick-boxing and Kung Fu. He leveraged his newfound fame to pursue a career in fashion modeling, relocating to major cities such as New York, London, Tokyo, Barcelona, and Amsterdam. As his modeling career flourished, Nicky transitioned into acting, landing roles in blockbuster films like The Bourne Identity, Hitman, Brotherhood of the Wolf, and Arsene Lupin.
