Loubna Abidar (born 20 September 1985) is a Moroccan actress.
Career
Abidar was born in Marrakesh to a Berber father and an Arab mother.[1] She made her film debut in Much Loved, which was directed by Nabil Ayouch. The film was banned in 2015 by Morocco's Ministry of Communication for "serious outrage" to "moral values".[2]
In November 2015, Abidar was violently attacked in Casablanca and left the country for France soon after.[3][4] In January 2016, she received a nomination for the César Award for Best Actress for her role in the film.[5]
