Due to his androgynous beauty,] Gillet was then sent to Japan by an agency for four months to land modelling contracts but once in Tokyo, he found no work or relationship and felt lost in translation. From this failure, Gillet drew motivation declaring: "This period of hardship I went through there forced me to reflect and made me mature. I returned to France with the 'niaque': no more dilemmas, I want to play. I changed my life."
He first appeared on stage in the title role of Caligula, in a celebrated staging by Charles Berling. He made his television debut in 2005, in the role of Hugh Despenser the Younger in the remake miniseries Les Rois maudits, based on the French novel series of the same name by Maurice Druon.

Gillet publicly shares on social media that his partner is musician, singer and actor Brice Michelini from Cannes who appeared in Rebecca Zlotowski's Planétarium (2016). When asked why he chose to write the song Andy, I Love You (French: Andy, Je T'aime) and have him acting in the music video, Michelini declared: "Because I love Andy. Andy, he's the man I love. This name came to me before I even made music. Andy is a muse: not just mine, a lot of people's muse. For me it was a waste to live with a muse and not do anything with it."

Belle Époque. El payaso Chocolat (Omar Sy), el primer negro que trabajó en un circo francés, tuvo un enorme éxito a finales del siglo XIX. Fue también el primero en hacer publicidad, el que inspiró a otros artistas de la época como Toulouse Lautrec o a los hermanos Lumière participando en varias de sus primeras películas. Él y el payaso Foottit (James Thierrée) fueron pioneros en la creación de un dúo entre un payaso “Carablanca” y un payaso “Augusto” negro. Chocolat, cuyo nombre era Rafael Padilla, nació en Cuba hacia 1865 y, siendo un niño, se trasladó a Europa. En España trabajó como sirviente, limpiabotas y minero. El destino lo llevó a Francia a trabajar en el circo. Pasó de ser esclavo a ser un hombre libre, del circo al teatro, y del anonimato a la fama.
