Wanecque was born on 26 July 2006[1] in Valenciennes, Hauts-de-France.[3][4] She attended the Jules Ferry School in Anzin.[5][6] One day as she was leaving the school holding her little sister in her arms, she came across three women who were distributing flyers for a casting and caught the eye of the casting director of the film The Worst Ones, who left her number with Wanecque.[6] She passed the audition and then quit high school to devote herself to a film career.[6][7][8]
