The legend is gone! The famous French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo died at the age of 88. French President Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister Castell and others have expressed condolences for his death.
As one of the most famous film stars in the French film industry after World War II, he has starred in about 80 films, starring in new wave classics such as the great director Jean-Luc Godard's "Exhausted", "Pierrot the Madman", "Woman is a Woman", and Alandron is regarded as a French national treasure actor.
His acting career is a microcosm of French cinema. In 2016, Belmondo was awarded the Golden Lion award for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival.
According to Agence France-Presse and France's bfm television, Jean-Paul Belmondo died peacefully at his Paris home on the same day. He has been in poor health in recent years and has rarely appeared in public.
At first, no one expected Jean-Paul Belmondo to become popular in the film industry. The verdict-style reply to his petition said, "With your looks, you will never succeed in this industry!" But this judgment does not prevent Jean-Paul Belmondo from becoming a "wizard" in the hearts of the French and a sacred monster in the film world with his witty humor.
In the 1960s, he starred in a large number of new wave directors' films, such as "French Girl and Love", "Pastime", "Two Women", "Respectable Young Man", "Crazy Biello", "Love Again", etc., playing a series of characters with different temperaments, especially good at playing lively and cheerful roles, and can perform a series of thrilling actions in the film without using a stand-in.
Jean-Paul Belmondo's plays are very open, and literary and martial arts, tragedies and comedies are also good. It was one of the brightest stars in Europe at the time, popular for decades, and was an evergreen tree on the screen.
He created an image that represented the face of the French, and was once called "the ugliest beautiful man in France". In the film he embraces the most beautiful actresses, from Catherine Denav to Sophia Roland, Claudia Cardinal and Françoise Dolek.
Jean-Paul Belmondo once said, "I ended up being labeled a stuntman, and what I wanted to do in my career was to move between Mahler, Godard, Melville and Werner, Dre, Lautner and others." "
