Today, we offer a closer look at the French actor and comic by the name of Jean Dujardin. Domestic audience, he was remembered mainly for his roles in such films as "99 francs", "Artist", "Mobius", "The Wolf from Wall Street" and "Agent 117". Further we learn the details of the creative biography, personal life and career of a successful actor.

Biography

The future world famous actor was born on June 19, 1972 in the French town of Rueil-Malmaison. During his studies at school, Jean showed special interest in philosophy and plastic arts. After his graduation, the young man went to serve in the army.

Despite the fact that the Dujardin family had nothing to do with the bohemian world, little Jean liked to entertain everyone around since childhood. However, he could not even think about becoming an artist. But after serving in the army, teaming up with several comic actors, among them were Eric Masso, Eric Collado, Bruno Salomon and Emmanuelle Jucla, he created the band Nous C Nous. Young people even recorded a CD with the same name. As a result, only at the age of 24, Jean realized that his vocation was to be an actor. The future celebrity with a world name began to build his further life in this direction.

Jean Dujardin: filmography, the beginning of a career in film

The debut of the French comedian on the television screen took place in 1999. He played one of the roles in the series called "The Guy and the Girl". Jean starred in this project for four years, and eventually earned himself the fame of a talented and promising actor. In 2002, Dujardin debuted on the big screen, having performed in the comedy "If I were rich" the role of the seller of elite footwear.

A year later, Jean again appeared before his audience, starring in the films "Car Keys" and "Family Rose." The last picture, narrating about the adventures of fugitive prisoners, who were hiding in the house of a very strange family, is rightfully considered one of the best works of Dujardin. In general, thanks to the shooting in comedies, Jean acquired the glory of the best comedian actor in France.

Continuation of film career

In 2002, Jean Dujardin, whose filmography already included a number of popular paintings, continued to be actively withdrawn. In 2002, a new film with his participation entitled "All the girls are insane" is appearing on big screens. In this picture, Jean played the commissioner Lorenzi. Very soon the actor's name became synonymous with success in France. So, just two films with his participation "Brice the Magnificent" and "The Wedding" became real hits of the hire in the homeland of Dujardin. Interestingly, in the first picture, Jean embodied on the screen the image that he coined ten years ago to work on stage.

Despite the success of the comedian work of the actor, he soon easily switched to roles in the paintings of other genres. In 2004, he took part in the filming of the detective "Collector", and in 2005 worked on the costume drama "Do not renounce."

Way to the top

Jean Dujardin, films with which participation enjoyed an indispensable success, in 2006 has achieved even greater career heights. This was promoted by the brilliantly performed role of Agent 117 in a nostalgic comedy-parody called "Agent 117: Cairo - espionage nest." Thanks to this work, the actor became widely known not only at home, but throughout Europe, and even the United States. The very same film in 2006 entered the top ten most box-office pictures of France.

However, such a success had the opposite side. In all subsequent comedies involving Dujardin, viewers invariably saw in him exclusively Agent 117, which was very discouraging to the talented actor. However, when, after several years, director Michel Hazanavichus proposed shooting in the sequel to "Agent 117 ...", Jean replied with consent. This picture was a great success in France, but in other countries it was not so warmly accepted. In the same year 2009, Dujardin signed a contract with Hazanavichus, which provided for his participation in the shooting of five more parts about the adventures of the Agent 117.

In 2007, Jean starred in a thriller called "Counter Investigation", where he played the role of a policeman trying alone to find the killers of his daughter. In the same year he played the protagonist in the adaptation of Frederick Begbeder's novel "99 francs". This role Dujardin performed brilliantly, and his character became literally cult for young people working in the advertising business around the world.

After this came the participation of Jean in such films as "Do not renounce", "The Devil's Mobile", "Scoundrels of Scammers" and "Man and his Dog", where his partner on the set was Jean-Paul Belmondo. In 2009, the audience again saw on the screens of their idol in the title role in the film "Lucky Luke." This picture is a screen version of the popular French comic book series. The following year, actor Jean Dujardin shone on the screen already in a serious dramatic role in the movie "Pieces of ice." He played an alcoholic writer who learns that he has cancer.

On top of success

New facets of his talent Jean Dujardin showed on the set of the 2011 film directed by Michel Hazanavichus called "Artist". For the main role in the film, the actor won a number of prestigious awards, including "Oscar", "Golden Globe", the prize of the Cannes Festival and others. The tape itself became the best film of the year.

In 2013, the screens are two paintings with Dujardin: "Moebius" and "The Wolf from Wall Street." In the process of working on the last film, Jean's partners in the shooting were Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Iona Hill and Kyle Chandler. The film was directed by the legendary Martin Scorsese, and the script was written by Terence Winter (author of a very successful television series entitled "Underground Empire").

In 2014, the premiere of another film featuring Dujardin will take place. It's about a painting called "Treasure hunters", directed and produced by George Clooney.

Personal life

In July 2009, the actor was married to the French actress Alexandra Lamy, who was his partner on the set in the TV series "The Boy and the Girl." The wedding was held in the town of Andyuz of the Gar department. Jean Dujardin and his wife raise two sons - Simon and Jules.
