Pom Klementieff was born in Quebec City, Canada, to her Korean mother and a French-Russian father, who was working there as a consul with the French government. Eugene Klementieff was her grandfather. Her parents picked the name "Pom" because it is identical in pronunciation to Korean words for "spring" and "tiger". Klementieff lived for a year in Canada prior to moving her family around extensively due to her father's job. Prior to making the move to France they resided in Japan as well as on the Ivory Coast. Klementieff lost her father to cancer at the age of five. Her mother was also diagnosed with schizophrenia. Klementieff was raised in France by her aunt and uncle paternal. Her uncle, whom she described as "like her father" was killed on her 18th birthday, as did her older brother, who was killed just seven years later, this the time on her 25th birthday. After her uncle's passing, Klementieff was a law student for a brief time to please her aunt. But she didn't think the path was appealing. She also worked as a waitress and saleswoman in France. In the Cours Florent drama academy in Paris, she began acting at the age of 19. After her studies were completed she was awarded an acting competition that granted her two years of tuition free alongside some of the top teachers at the school. Klementieff was the stepdaughter of Catherine Deneuve in Apres lui (2006), her first role as an actor professionally. Filming the scenes required three days. In one scene, Klementieff was supposed to push someone down a set of steps but fell down the steps herself, and director Gael Morel kept that shot for the final film. Her first leading role was in Loup (2009) the French film about a tribe of reindeer herders located in the Siberian mountains. Klementieff was filming at the camp that was located hours away from the nearest village. The camp was where temperatures plunged to zero.
