The actor who won the hearts of our grandparents with his vagabond-looking style: Who is Jean-Paul Belmondo?
Belmondo is one of the most important movie stars of the last century, which draws attention to his strong and charming personality, and his success in animating contemporary life types as well as in hit movies.
(1933) French film actor. He is one of the most popular male actors of 20th-century French cinema. He was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, near Paris, in April 1933, the son of a sculptor.
He studied theater at the Paris Conservatory, playing in small-town theaters for a long time before gaining his first successes. He appeared in small roles in movies but rose to prominence with his role in Godard's first feature film, A Bout de Souffle.
In this movie, Bogart played a gangster who is a mixture of James Dean and similar movie heroes. Belmondo soon became the most popular player of the New Wave. In the same year, he played the leading role in Peter Brook's Moderato Cantabile, based on the novel by Marguerite Duras, and in De Sica's Italian-French co-production La Ciociara. In 1961, he continued his fame with Andre Cayatte's Leon Morin, Preire, and Jean Luc Godard's Une Femme est Une Femme.
In addition to being a qualified actor in the films of important directors, Belmondo also succeeded in being an actor that the audience loved by making adventure films one after the other. Un nomee la Rocca, Cartouche, and L'Homme d'Rio (Rio Adventure) is one of the most successful examples of this genre.
In 1965, the actor played a more pessimistic variation of his role in Pierrot le Fou da A Bout de Souffle, one of Godard's most important films. He achieved great success in this role.
Belmondo's next roles again changed between adventure films and productions of important directors. Adventure comedies such as Tendre Voyou (1966), major productions such as Paris brûle-t-ı (1967), and François Truffaut's La Sirene du Mississippi (1969) are among the films in which he played the leading roles. In 1970, when Borsalino, which he played with Alain Delon, gained great success, Belmondo became one of the big stars.
