A former timber construction engineer, Simon discovered acting through the practice of theatrical improvisation at the age of 26. In addition, he decided to train in mime and clowning. In 2019, Simon's discovery and love of clowning led him to enroll in a two-year professional clown training course at Le Samovar, in Bagnolet (France), where he met his tennis rival, Lautaro.

Simon plays the guitar and whistles at the same time, but he is also fond of burlesque, slapping people in the face and falling on the floor, all of which speaks about him.
