The appearance of the model and actress Vanessa Paradis does not fit into the generally accepted standards of beauty. And her voice is very peculiar. However, this unconventionality gives the celebrity a special charm. The image of the star is surrounded by an extraordinary halo that emphasizes the merits of the embodiment of French chic.
Since the early nineties, Vanessa Chantal Paradis has been not only a style icon, but also a reference model of the young Nabokov Lolita. And the famous hit "Joe le Taxi" is firmly entrenched in the history of modern pop music. Her professional career as a vocalist started at the age of 7.
The path to glory
The biography of the future celebrity began in 1972. The child was born in the town of Saint-Maur-de-Fosse on December 22 in a family of film directors. All relatives were directly related to creativity. Both Vanessa and her younger sister Alisson, who later became an actress, were engaged in dance and music.
The uncle, the famous actor Didier Pine in France, convinced the eldest niece to participate in the TV competition. Success in the "School of Talents" pushed the girl to the decision to become a professional singer. Vocal lessons began.
In 1987 the song "Joe le Taxi" appeared. A week later, the single confidently occupied the top positions of the national charts. In euro charts, the composition became the best in half a month, turning over time into a classic of pop music. The vocalist's M&J album, released a year later, quickly went platinum.
The disc "Vanessa Paradis" was the reason for an extended tour. In 2000, the fans received the collection "Bliss", and the disc "Divinidylle", released in 2007, confirmed the celebrity's place of honor in the country's musical elite.
New peaks
The album "Love songs" in 2013 was also a success. In 2011, the performer voiced the main character of the "Monster in Paris" multiproject. The song "La Seine" won Paradis the "Cesar" award.
The film premiered in 1989. Vanessa starred in The White Wedding, winning the National Best Debutante Award. 7 years later, work began on the film "Eliza". The work in the French-Canadian project "Cafe de Flore" turned out to be successful. Vanessa won the Ginny Best Actress award for him.
Paradis does not seek to divulge life outside the spotlight. The star does not have an Instagram account.
Off screen and stage
The personal life of the star is no less eventful. The first choice was Florent Pagny, an actor and singer. The romance between them began in 1988. After parting, a relationship began with Lenny Kravitz, but in 1997 they ended.
In 1998, a significant acquaintance with Johnny Depp took place. He and Vanessa have long held the title of the most beautiful couple in show business. The actors became the parents of Lily-Rose Melody and Jack Christopher. The couple managed to maintain friendly relations even after parting after 14 years.
While working on the film The Dog, the actress met director Samuel Benshetri. In mid-2018, their wedding took place.
The celebrity has made a successful career in the fashion world. Karl Lagerfeld calls the Chanel brand ambassador his muse. The star does not stop filming. Her musical creativity is also developing successfully. Paradis gives concerts, participates in music festivals.
