Ulliel was born in the Parisian suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt to a runway show producer mother and a stylist father. He has a scar on his cheek as a result of a dog's scratch from when he was six years old. Ulliel attended the University of Saint-Denis, where he studied cinema.

Ulliel's most recent role is playing the young Hannibal Lecter, the title character of the prequel Hannibal Rising, which was released on February 9, 2007. Ulliel initially hesitated to audition for the role because of the character's popularity. The part is his second English-language film, and the first film where he speaks English in a leading role. It has not yet been decided whether there will be another film featuring Ulliel as Lecter. Ulliel's next role will be in a Niki Caro directed drama scheduled to film in New Zealand and France.

    Well there was a reason Robert got chosen over Gaspard. So I think you people should stop complaining, if you're not gonna like the movie because you dont like the cast, then dont go see it. The twilight characters have enough pressure as it is, they dont need more hating fans. Not everything will go the fans' way, they chose who they think will play a good cast, so tha cast is chosen, so get over it! And everybody has different opinions. I agree with most of the cast, but Im not gonna go hating the actors whom I dont like for the role. Lets just hope that theyll truly portrait the characters from the fictional characters we love. Stop being so negative.
