Date of Birth: 30/07/1948
Real name: Juan Moreno
French actor Jean Reno Spanish descent born in Casablanca on 30 July 1948, Mr.. and wore at the time the name of Juan Moreno. In 1960, Mr.. Moreno's family returned to Europe (where previously they had fled to Morocco to escape the oppressive regime of General Franco) and settled in France. Reno had to serve in the French army to get citizenship. Later, fascinated by the theater, he took acting lessons, but, despite active theater life, film career is not taking shape Reno. That was before I met with Luc Besson, who, since 1983. removes it almost in his every film.

In 1984. "Underground", where Reno was playing drums, glorified by Luc Besson and Christopher Lambert. Ten years later, Besson has put "Leon", has made Jean Reno star of world cinema. Hitman Leon was a living man, very charming in its ignorance and isolation. Weakness in the immense destructive power of Leon made only friend a little girl Mathilda (Natalie Portman), . bereaved through the efforts of a drug addict, the police (Gary Oldman), . and Jean Reno - winner of the French Academy of Motion Picture Arts for the best male role.,
. However, for the first time Jean Reno really announced himself as the best killer blue screen still bessonovskoy "Nikita" (1990), where a professional assassin Viktor died, so that anyone rolled up to his throat and the audience were drowning in tears
. Victor Leon and gave birth, his death hundreds of times pereplyunuvshego progenitor.
Heroes of Reno, especially Besson, like to die beautifully. Diver Enzo Molinari ( "Big Blue", 1988) in pursuit of a lost world champion in depth of the dive without scuba gear donyryalsya to death in the blue of the French Riviera. Enzo, perhaps the only humourist and joker "Abyss", is her main character, with the loss of which the film loses momentum and the viewer - interest.
The most serious of the recent work by Renault in cinema is the role of Vincent in "Ronin". This character corresponds to the maximum kinoobrazu that Renault painstakingly created in all his films: a taciturn professional hair's breadth from death. Covetousness external means of expression creates a particular emotion, inevitably attracts the viewer's attention to Reno.
. Romantic unshaven, laconic in expression of feelings, calm self-confidence, strength and masculinity, strength, cloaking the spiritual weakness and loneliness - that the image created by Renault, was replaced by the characters and Depardieu, Delon, Belmondo and Gabin.
. Leon, . hitman Victor, . Detective, . Cruising diamond necklace in the "French kiss" (with Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan), . French counterintelligence Laroche, . saves the world from the raging monsters in "Godzilla" Roland Emmerich, . former French intelligence agent Vincent, . included in the international team of super agent in "Ronin" (with Robert De Niro, . Natasha MakElhoun, . Jonathan Price and Sean Bean), . even diver Enzo Molinari of the "Big Blue" - the hero of Reno always professional-class,
. That professionalism fills its screen life of adventure and can survive or to die with dignity in a world full of dangers. Renault-man in the street in the cinema will not meet. But in real life, the richest Frenchman of Hollywood's second marriage, married to a woman with three children, lives in eastern France in a small quiet town and is happy there, protected from the constant talk about the movie.
