Hello guys, welcome back to Amolipi channel, where you can learn more
interesting information about your favorite actors and athletes. The main character of our
video today is respected actor Jean Reno. Moroccan-born French actor Jean Reno was born
as Juan Moreno y Herrera–Jiménez on July 30, 1948 in Casablanca, Morocco and is now 73 years old.
After making a name for himself in his native France, Reno crossed the Atlantic to become a
highly-sought character performer in big budget Hollywood fare. He has appeared in films such
as Crimson Rivers, Godzilla, The Da Vinci Code, Mission: Impossible, The Pink Panther and so on.
Reno's parents were Spanish, natives of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and Jerez de la Frontera
in Andalucia. His father was a linotypist and his mother died when he was a teenager.
Reno has a younger sister named María Teresa. Reno learned Spanish from his parents, and Arabic
and French growing up in Morocco. At the age of 17, he moved to France,
where he studied acting in the Cours Simon School of Drama and served in the French Army,
which was mandatory after his family gained its French citizenship.
Reno married Geneviève Reno in 1977, with whom he had a daughter,
Sandra, and a son, Mickael. By 1995, Jean and Genevieve were officially divorced.
After his first divorce, Reno married his second wife, Nathalie Dyszkiewicz, a Polish
model in 1995, with whom he had a son, Tom, and a daughter, Serena. They divorced in 2001.
In July 2006, Reno married for the third time, to British model and actress of Polish descent,
Zofia Borucka. Zofia and Reno welcomed their first son,
Cielo, in July 2009 and their second son, Dean, in September 2011.
After he started to get acting jobs in France, Juan adopted the French version of his name,
Jean, and shortened his surname to Reno. He began his film career in France, collaborating in films
produced, written, or directed by director Luc Besson. After making a name for himself in his
native France, Reno crossed the Atlantic to break the ice with American audiences with the cult
classic "La Femme Nikita" and made his greatest impression on U.S. shores with 1994's thriller
"The Professional". Ever since, Reno made his mark playing coolly ambiguous and frighteningly
cunning characters who more often than not reveal themselves to be all-too-human. Reno was perhaps
most memorable in action thrillers like "Ronin" and "The Da Vinci Code", blockbusters like
"Godzilla" and "The Pink Panther". Despite not possessing a marquee name, Reno proved himself
to be an invaluable character performer capable of switching from foreign films to Hollywood features
with ease. The actor has also worked in French, Japanese, Spanish and Italian movie productions.
Here are the 10 best movies starring actor Jean Reno, according to IMDb:
As of 2021, actor Jean Reno’s net worth is estimated to be roughly $70 million.
Reno turned down the role of Agent Smith in the infamous "The Matrix" franchise.
Due to his tall frame (1.88 m or 6 ft 2 in), Reno was mostly called on to play
"heavies" and brutes early in his career. Reno did the voice-over for Mufasa in the
French-language version of The Lion King, a role originally performed
by James Earl Jones in the American film.. In advertising work, Reno has appeared in American
television commercials for UPS and portrayed Doraemon in a series of Toyota ads in Japan,
