His parents are from Martinique but was born in Paris.
Thierry Daniel Henry (born August 17, 1977 in Les Ulis, Essonne, Paris) (IPA: [tjÉÊi ÉÌÊi]) is a French football player who plays as a striker for the French national team, and for the English club Arsenal, where he is the club's all-time leading scorer in both league matches and all competitions.
Henry has been nominated twice for the FIFA World Player of the Year, both times finishing runner-up in 2003 and 2004. Also, he was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004.[1]
He has surpassed Ian Wright to take over as Arsenal's all-time leading scorer with over 200 goals for the club. In 2006, Henry was the first player to score more than twenty goals in five consecutive seasons (2002–2006). He won European Golden Boot in both 2004 and 2005 thus making him the first ever player to retain the trophy.
On 19 May 2006, despite months of speculation linking him with Spanish club FC Barcelona, he renewed his contract at Arsenal under a 4-year deal until 2010.[2] He is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world.

Thierry Henry was born in Paris, so he's originally from France.
