Late bloomer Jean Reno
Once famous, he became a French national treasure

Few people know about Jean Reno, but they know about killer Leon, who may be sitting on your phone right now. It is believed that many girls' "Uncle dream" starts from Leon, who is both warm and cold. However, Leon's actor Jean Reno is a uncle with more treasure than Leon.
Jean Reno has a cool, stylish character, and he's perfectly prim and stubborn as a silly old man. This week our office viewing group saw Summer in Provence.
Jean Reno plays an ordinary old man in the French countryside who is fat and hobbled, rather than the tall, slender figure of a million handsome girls in The Hitman. It's a great test for the actor to be able to get the audience in the killer's face without making a scene, especially since Leon is a much more famous character than he is.

Jean Reno himself is less famous than his characters, not because he is a mediocre actor, but because his characters are so classic. However, when he just emerged, he played a role of high national level. People knew Leon before they knew him, and as time went by, people no longer struggled with his name. Just like Liu Xing to Zhang Yishan, it is an indelible label.
As an actor, Jean Reno was a serious schoolboy, having studied theater at the age of 17, he first appeared on the big screen at the age of 31, and had been in a tepid state ever since, until Hitman really made him famous in his late 50s.
After half a life of anonymity, he has become a national treasure of France and a world-class film role at the age of 50, which must have been beyond his imagination when he graduated from theater acting and was forced to do odd jobs to make ends meet.

It was Luc Besson, the great director of Luc, who finally made him an actor.
In 1980, just a year after he started making films, Jean Reno met Luc Besson, then a director's assistant. A few years later, the two worked together on Lu Da's directorial debut, The Last Fight, and later on, The Blue Sea, The Blue Sky, The Killer is Not Too Cold
Together, these films were their formative years, and it's hard to imagine Jean Reno as an actor today if he hadn't met Luc Besson. Now a director and an actor, together as the two biggest influences on French cinema, can be said to be mutually successful.
Luc Besson, who is still directing films now that both of them are old, has spoken out against Wu in his Valerian film against Wu, saying there is no comparison between him and Jean Reno, which shows that Wu still misses his old co-star.
Too bad Jean Reno's in his 70s. He can't play a young agent. Although Lu Da's works in recent years have often received poor reviews, Jean Reno has almost no production. But still thank them, left us so many classics, can always aftertaste.
Jean Reno is now 70 years old! The years have also left their marks on him. The uncle has become an old grandfather! Last year, he appeared in the Chinese movie "Rogue", which surprised many fans.
The other main character is the little girl, Matilda. She was played by Natalie Portman, who was pretty and had a lot of personality and could have been Matilda herself. I have to say the director is very good at casting.
However, 24 years later, Natalie has not only attended Harvard University, but also become a mother! I'm so happy for that little girl.
Of course, you must remember Stansfield, the great expatriate in the film, Gary Oldman, the mention of him, many people hate it! This is also the embodiment of superb acting!
Just last year, he won the best Actor Oscar for his role as Churchill in Darkest Hour. Is really gratifying congratulations! This acting is very positive!
24 years later, the little girl looks like this, and the villain wins an Oscar! What do you think?
