Christian Clavier is a famous French actor. He gained the greatest fame thanks to the role of the rogue Jacqui in the movie "Aliens".
Biography
The famous film actor was born on May 6, 1952 in the capital of France, Paris. Christian's parents did not belong to the creative intelligentsia. Both the actor's mom and dad were employees at the bank. The boy himself did not have much interest in the art of cinema either. While still at school, he began to get involved in politics. Studying at a prestigious lyceum on the outskirts of Paris, Christian became interested in communist ideology, and after graduation he entered the Paris Institute of Politics, where he chose a political scientist as his future profession.
While studying at the university, the future actor suddenly lost interest in politics and began to show interest in acting. With his friends, he begins to participate in student productions, and later puts on his own performance. After a successful premiere, Christian dropped out of university and went to acting school, where he studied art for several years, while continuing to perform with his troupe in theaters.
Career
In 1972, they decided to film one of the troupe's works. The short comedy starring Clavier has been very successful. From this point on, the "Great Team" begins to actively transfer their work to the screen. The debut in the film industry was more than successful. 15 works by Christian were nominated for the French film award "Cesar".
In 1975, the actor made his big screen debut in the directorial work of Jacques Bernard. After that, there were several more roles, and two years later, Christian played his first role in a duet with the famous Gerard Depardieu in the film "Tell her that I love her." In 1982, Clavier was waiting for a meeting with another famous actor - Jean Reno, together they starred in the film "Operation Stew". In addition to playing the main role, Christian acted as a screenwriter.
In tandem with Renaud Clavier he was filmed more than once, but the comedy film "Aliens" became a real success for both artists. In addition to popularity, this picture brought the actors the prestigious Cesar film award. Later, several sequels were made to the popular film, the last film about the knight Godfroid and his squire appeared on the screens in 2016.
Personal life
Christian Clavier met his love at the university. The charming girl's name was Marie-Anne Chazelle. Together they stormed the stage and went to their first success. In 1983, the couple had a daughter, whom they decided to call Margot. And in 1999, a serious tragedy occurred in the family of actors - their second child died during childbirth. Perhaps it is because of this that, two years later, this wonderful union fell apart.
Since 1996 Christian Clavier has been managing director of Ouille Production. The title has a lot to do with Jacuy's most successful role in Aliens.
