Vincent Cassel Biography
Blue eyed Vincent Cassel was born in Paris to a leading French actor father, Jean-Pierre Cassel and a journalist mother. Often labeled as a tough guy because of his roles, eclectic choices and talent have made of him a star of European cinema. First in La haine, the young actor, actually coming from upper classes, succeeded to express the despair of a social class living in the suburbs of towns, breaking totally with his personal life. Then the success of The crimson rivers, where he plays a young French cop alongside Jean Reno, made of him "the man to count on". He never hid his taste for rap music, break dance, Capoeira, Brasil and his endless energy, but Vincent is also a family man, married to Monica Bellucci, his Italian co-star from The Apartment; and recently a father. Now a rising international star, Cassel could easily become the idol of many.
