Vincent Perez personal life. Vincent Perez: “The woman who is loved has energy. Hugh Jackman and Deborah-Lee Furness
Vincent Perez and Karin Silla❤
Married since 1998. Daughter Iman and twins Tess and Pablo.
It happened when Vincent was at a grand fashion show held in one of the fashionable Parisian hotels. Vincent calmly looked at the successive models. The calm vanished instantly when a dark-skinned exotic beauty with a chiseled figure appeared on the podium. A quick glance at the program, he realized that the person who had caught his attention was the Senegalese model and actress Karin Silla.
By no means a womanizer by nature, Vincent seemed to be transformed. At the end of the show, he was already waiting for the girl at the exit. Remembering that evening, Vincent says that he fell in love with Karin at first sight. And Karin, according to her, at first a little taken aback by the stormy onslaught of an unfamiliar young man, could not help but appreciate both his attractive appearance and the obvious sincerity of his feelings.
When the girl appeared on the podium, Depardieu, who had previously absentmindedly glanced around, even whistled softly. Karin was especially good that evening. And Vincent smiled proudly, pleased that his bride had made such an impression. And of course, he did not attach any importance to the emphasized attention that Gerard paid to Karin when they dined in a restaurant after the defile. In the following days, Vincent was less and less able to find his future wife when he called her on the phone. Their dates became less and less frequent. Every time Karin found more or less plausible explanations for her absence, but Vincent felt that something was wrong here. And the partners in the film crew looked at him strangely. He was finally sober up by an overheard conversation. It made it clear that the whole secular Paris was just contemplating about Depardieu's new romance with ... Karin Silla.
Karin's explanation with her fiance was brief. Silently listening to the tirade of the stunned groom, she said: "Forgive me, but I love him." And she returned the wedding ring to the failed spouse. She was then twenty-eight years old ...
In this relationship, Depardieu and Karin had a daughter, Roxanne, in 1992. But due to the difficult nature and constant intrigues of Depardieu, their romance did not last long.
And now Karin's new meeting with Vincent at a reception hosted by the French Actors Association. The peak of Cilla's popularity passed, she was no longer in demand in the modeling business as before. However, Vincent, noticing the former passion, beamed and immediately approached her. In a broken voice, he said: “Nothing has changed for me, I still love you. If you want, we will start our life from scratch. " In response, Karin, ignoring those around him, hugged him and kissed him. They left the reception together.
A few months later, when Vincent was on the set of another film, Karin said in a telephone conversation that she was pregnant. The delighted actor exclaimed in response: “That's it, now you're mine forever. I am making you an official offer. " The wedding took place. The groom's best man was ... Gerard Depardieu.

Since February 18 in Russian cinemas you can see the drama My King Le Besco. The film, which tells the story of passionate and destructive love, brilliantly played by Vincent Cassel and Emmanuelle Bercot, won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival and was able to win the love of viewers around the world. The protagonist of Giorgio's picture is an elegant Frenchman, handsome, party-goer and joker who always preferred young beauties-models: "Someone is crazy about cars, but I'm crazy about beautiful women!" At one of the parties, Giorgio meets Tony (Emmanuel Bercot) - a successful lawyer, his age, charming woman, but far from the glossy ideals of beauty. A fleeting hobby develops into a ten-year romance full of passion and humor, scandals and all-consuming love.
A scene from the film "My King" with Vincent Cassel and Emmanuel Bercot
You can skeptically say "This happens only in the movies", but the example of famous people can easily be convinced of the opposite. HELLO.RU has found several couples whose unions haunt the public. Nicolas Cage, Hugh Jackman, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway and Vincent Perez, whom hundreds of thousands of women around the world dream of, prefer ordinary (though only at first glance) women to the recognized beauties. Why? There is hardly a definite answer to this question, but the statements of these actors and the number of years they have lived with their wives speak for themselves.
1. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness
Hugh Jackman first met the actress Deborra-Lee Furness, as it usually happens in the cinematic environment, on the set. He was 26 years old, and she was 39. He is a beginner, an unknown actor, she is a recognized actress, on account of which two dozen films. Neither the 13-year age difference nor the remoteness of the steps in the career ladder embarrassed Hugh. On the recent air of the Ellen DeGeneres show, he spoke about the beginning of his relationship this way:
It was my very first job in the film business when we met. She was already a star, and I just disappeared when I saw her. Although everyone was in love with her, the entire film crew went crazy over her. I was so embarrassed that I didn't speak to her for a week. Then I said to myself, "Dude, this is stupid." I threw a party and invited Deborra and 10 other people to it. At the evening she came up to me and directly asked: "What's the matter? I annoy you? You are not talking to me. What did I do wrong?" And I - and I had a girlfriend at that moment - answered: "I am in love with you. And I am already alone." She: "Oh, really?" And me: "Everything is bad ..." She: "I like you too." And me: "Oh, cool." This is approximately how it all began.
Hugh and Debborah got married 4 months after they met. Furness devoted herself to children - the actors adopted Oscar's son and daughter Ava, and Jackman became a famous Hollywood actor. In April, the couple will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their marriage.
My wife is the most beautiful thing that could happen to me in my life, and every day I only feel better with her. I am very grateful that I met her at the very beginning of my career - before "all this", because all the further events of my life - both on and off the screen - I experienced together and next to her.
2. Vincent Perez and Karin Silla
Vincent Perez and Karin Silla
The famous screen ladies' man Vincent Perez is in life the complete opposite of his heroes. The press wrote that the actor had affairs with many of his partners, including Catherine Deneuve, and attributed the status of his beloved even to ex-first lady of France Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Vincent was looking for his ideal woman for a long time, but in the end he acquired even more than his expectations were.
Former Senegalese model Karin Silla at first preferred another Vincent - Gerard Depardieu. However, their relationship ended almost immediately after Karin became pregnant. Instead of proud gloating, Perez hastened to make a second attempt to subdue Silla. At one of the social events, he confessed to her that he had long loved her.
My life changed after one nod of my head. We went to Venice, I booked a room in a luxury hotel on the Grand Canal. And there, during a romantic dinner, he presented her with a ring and asked for her hand in marriage, - Vincent said in an interview.
Vincent Perez with his wife and children
The family happiness of Vincent and Karin is already 18 years old, the couple is raising four children. Karin writes and takes pictures, and her husband admires her talent: "I admire her ability to handle words. She brilliantly, like no one else, builds dialogues." At the same time, Karin modestly replies to all the fanatical antics of her husband: "I do not do anything special, I just do what I can."
3. Nicolas Cage and Ellis Kim
Nicolas Cage and Ellis Kim
Among the chosen ones of Nicolas Cage were very famous women in Hollywood - Patricia Arquette and Elvis Presley's daughter - Lisa Maria Presley. But marriages with these talented and famous beauties did not last long - 9 months (although according to the documents, the marriage of Cage and Arquette is 6 years old) and 3 months, respectively. Two years after his divorce from Lisa Maria, Nicholas met his true love, with which he is happy to this day. She was Ellis Kim, a young, unknown girl who worked as a waitress in a Korean restaurant.
On one of her working days, Cage visited the institution, the girl's Asian modesty attracted the attention of the nephew of one of the most influential producers, Francis Coppola. Ellis's youth (she is 20 years younger than Nicholas), her social status and nationality for Cage have become indisputable merits. After a while, the work in the restaurant was left in the past, and the real Ellis was star premieres, red carpet and prestigious film awards parties. According to friends and colleagues, in his third marriage, Nicholas literally became a different person.
UPD: In June 2016, it became known that Nicholas and Ellis decided to divorce, after which the actor was seen with a new girlfriend.
Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson fell in love with 42-year-old Sam Taylor-Johnson when he was only 19. The future wife and at that time already a successful director entrusted the inexperienced, aspiring actor with the lead role in his new film - the role of young John Lennon. This work was a breakthrough for Aaron both in his career and in his personal life. A fleeting romance was not included in the actor's plans: Aaron dreamed of family happiness. Sam did not resist and accepted the offer of her lover.
I fell in love with her at first sight. I just realized that I want to be with her always. I wanted children - we have children, and I am very happy about all this.
Before the fateful meeting with Aaron, the famous artist and director twice defeated cancer and ended up in her arms with two children after divorcing her first husband. In July 2010, Aaron and Sam had their first common daughter, Wild Ray, and in January 2012, their second daughter, Romy Hiro, was born. The 23-year age difference, as Aaron admits, he does not notice.
I do not feel any difference at all. Close people call me Benjamin Button - all our friends believe that I am old at heart, and Sam, on the contrary, is young, - said the actor in an interview with Saturday's Times.
5, 6. Lost stars - Matthew Fox with Margarita Ronchi and Josh Holloway with Jessica Kumala
The cast of LOST ("Lost") - Matthew Fox, who played Dr. Jack Shepard, and Josh Holloway, who portrayed James Sawyer Ford on the screen, are happily married to models. True, their spouses got into the camera lenses thanks to their exotic, and not typical model looks. Margarita Ronchi and Jessica Kumala saw the potential in their men even before the paparazzi began to hunt them, and all the magazines in the world dubbed them sex symbols.
Matthew Fox and Margarita Ronchi
Josh Holloway and Yessica Kumala
Josh met Yessica at a bar. True, the actor himself was initially going to hit her friend, but Kumala took the situation into her own hands.
When I was flirting with a girl, someone patted me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw this beautiful little creature holding a martini bottle. She looked me up and down and said, "Leave me your phone number before you leave."
The couple got married in 2004, in 2009 they had a daughter, Java, and in 2014, a son, Hunter Lee.
Matthew met Margarita in 1987. At the time she was 19, she came to New York from Italy and did not speak English very well. Matthew was an economics student and worked as a loader at a flower shop at night. Margarita surrounded Matthew with such care and love that he wanted to achieve a lot for her, which he did later. Five years after the first meeting, the couple got married. Now they are raising two children - daughter Allison and son Byron.
- Did you risk your unclouded image by agreeing to star in "I Stay"? In modern cinema, you are one of the rare and last macho, tough men ...
Yes, okay, I'm macho. (Laughs.)
- In the same film, you created the image of a parody macho. The film exposes machismo as a lifestyle. And then, where has it been seen that his woman dared to leave the character with the face of Vincent Perez - even with the face of Sophie Marceau?
I was just attracted to such a turn. I love that my profession allows me to transform myself and create different images. And in this case, the amusing thing is that my character is - especially at first - so unpleasant and repulsive, so focused on himself and his career, a fool and a bore that he quickly becomes comic.
- You have costume roles, there are those that are defined by the term "hero-lover", there are roles in the genre of action. Sometimes these three images of yours coincide, as in "Cyrano de Bergerac", "Indochina", "Queen Margot", "Libertina" or "Fanfan-Tulip" (Perez in these films, respectively, Cyrano's opponent - Gerard Depardieu, Catherine Deneuve's lover, lover Queen Margot - Isabelle Adjani, sexual revolutionary and philosopher Diderot and the same Fanfan, aka Tulip, who was once portrayed by Gerard Philip. - Izvestia). But you also have modern roles. Which ones are closer to you?
You will probably be surprised, but I will answer: now modern ones are closer. I am now looking for roles that would suit my age. I'm forty, and it's time to stop pretending to be a young lover on the screen. "Fanfan" - this I decided firmly - the last film where I portray the young.
- But you are in such good shape that, in my opinion, it is too early for you to change your role. (This remark is not just a natural sign of politeness. The Izvestia film reviewer can only sincerely envy his almost the same age Vincent Perez, who still looks like a student at the Sorbonne.)
Nevertheless, I want the roles that I play to correspond to the stage of life that I am living at that moment. I am the head of a large family, I have children. And I want roles that reflect this important situation for me. That is why I became more and more interested in directing. It allows me to fill that inner emptiness that I - seemingly without stopping to play in the cinema and theater - suddenly began to feel as an actor. But this does not mean that I will not continue to play romantic roles.
Best of the day
- You have four children, don't you? (The implication of clarification: Perez and his wife Caril Cilla have three common children, including twins born last year - it was after this that Vincent became the head of a BIG family. Caril gave birth to her first child from Gerard Depardieu. - Izvestia.)
Yes, four.
- Is it possible, based on your words, to conclude that a large family has changed your creative sense of self?
My family and children encouraged me to create something more complete. This sense of completeness can be gained only when you yourself write a script and shoot a film based on it.
- Your last directorial work was the film "Once upon a time there was an angel", which was shown at one of the festivals of French cinema in Moscow. A weird film about a weirdly perfect modern girl. Have you already started a new project?
Two scenarios are being prepared. One I write, the other my wife. My wife is fascinated by the modern plot, and I will not say anything more about her work yet: this is still her personal work. I am composing a fairy tale for children, and I try to make it not only fascinating, but also ugly. I wish this film could be placed between ... here I will give examples from animated cinema ... between Hollywood's "Shrek" and Japanese "Spirited Away." The action will take place during the reign of King Arthur in the French "little Britain", as it was called before, that is, in Brittany. The king himself will be there ... no, I won't tell you more yet.
- Returning to the movie "I Stay". Vincent Perez on the screen is always big actresses and beautiful women as partners. What are the features of working with Sophie Marceau?
We starred with her ten years ago in the romantic comedy "The Scent of Love". Therefore, on the set of "I Stay" there was a meeting of old friends. You can say my meeting with my sister. Sophie and I have a deep understanding.
- In general, can you name your ideal partner? Who was most comfortable on the set: Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Adjani, Sophie Marceau, your longtime friend Penelope Cruz in Fanfan Tulip?
With each of the actresses there was an ideal contact and a feeling of particularly comfortable interaction ... (Pause) Let me name you better those with whom I have not worked yet, but would have dreamed of working. I would love to star with Isabelle Huppert or Ludivine Sagnier.
- Yeah ... I would like to ask one more personal, but at the same time socio-political question. You are a Swiss-born, half German, half Spanish, who have become the hallmark of French cinema. They starred, among other things, in Hollywood films in English ("The Raven: City of Angels" - Perez replaced in the role of the main character of the deceased Brendan Lee. - "Izvestia"). Married to an African woman. They gave birth to three children from her. What nationality do you feel you are?
Ultimately I am European. I found a country for myself where it is convenient for me to live and work: this is France. Do I feel like I'm French? Yes and no. It takes too long to go into details. Let's define it this way: I feel like a citizen of the Old World. But it will be even more difficult for my children in the context of all these issues.
- Which of your many roles is your favorite?
These are all the films I did with Patriso Chereau, including Queen Margot. (An extremely appreciated director in France. Perez played several famous theatrical roles for him - in particular, in Shakespeare's Hamlet and Chekhov's Platonov.)
- Would you like to pursue a Hollywood career, as did your partner in "Fanfan Tulip" Penelope Cruz?
It would be great to work in America. But, you know, depending on how you work. Hollywood is in demand for actors who portray Latin girls and boys, as the US has a large Hispanic audience. But the roles of these actors are usually secondary. I wouldn’t smile at all to be, albeit famous, but an ordinary Latin boy in Hollywood cinema. I'm more comfortable in France. I like to feel creatively free.
- Being a Fanfan-Tulip invited you for dinner at the restaurant Luc Besson. Are you going to continue working with him?
I, in any case, am open for further contacts.
- In the mid-90s you starred in the film "Life Line" directed by Pavel Lungin. It was an action movie about the kidnapping of foreigners in Russia. The shooting took place with us. A little over a year ago, you again visited Moscow during the next festival of French cinema. Have you changed your impression of Russia as a bandit country? Only without diplomacy, please.
During my second visit, which lasted only a couple of days, I did not understand anything about the changes in Moscow except that the city became more beautiful and richer, and capital clearly began to feel more free with you. As for the first visit, when the "Life Line" was filmed, the impressions were just not unambiguous, but ambiguous. On the one hand, it seemed to me that Moscow in the 90s is the Chicago of the 30s. I felt then, in what luxury we, Europeans, live in comparison with Russians. On the other hand, I suddenly realized the superficiality of the Europeans against the background of the depths of the Russians. Russian people (and I had a lot of informal meetings) raise deeper layers than Europeans. And in general they love to live, while we Europeans, in my opinion, have lost our thirst for life. I sincerely would like to visit you again and understand what is happening with you.
Admit it, do you believe that a handsome and successful man can be really happy with a woman whose attractiveness is not very obvious? Perhaps most of us are skeptical about the expressions “Do not be born beautiful, but be born happy” and “Do not drink water from your face”. Meanwhile, it is these stellar alliances that cause a wave of discussions that are the strongest. While Brad Pitt has been trying for many years to leave the beauty Angelina Jolie, emaciated with jealousy and irreconcilable contradictions, and Jay Z is almost openly cheating on the pop queen Beyoncé, the heroines of our review have lived a happy life, and their relationship is based on love, the correct understanding of harmony and trust. Well, how can you not believe psychologists, who believe that torturing yourself on simulators and with the help of plastics is pure masochism, based on the desire to earn love. It is believed that self-confident people and their appearance accept what it is, and do not fall in love with chiseled cheekbones, long legs and plump lips. The heroes of our review are definitely one of them.

The textbook love story of The Beatles star Lennon and the Japanese avant-garde and singer Yoko Ono is known to everyone. Yoko became a femme fatale in Lennon's life - under her influence he changed as a person, as a creative person; he adopted her philosophical views. Growing up in an aristocratic family, she seemed to him the height of perfection, an intellectual who had no equal. It is believed that she conquered him by talking about the fate of the world and incredible energy. While the whole world considered his choice strange, Lennon called Yoko Ono not just the love of his life, but the person who influenced more than anyone else.

Whom the world famous handsome men with billionaires choose as wives and why sex symbols associate their lives with "gray mice" - we will find out on the eve of February 14, Valentine's Day.
Photo: globallookpress.com The family life of one of the sexiest, according to millions of women, actors is a clear example of how a handsome man can be happily married to a "gray mouse" for many years. The wife, actress Deborra-Lee Furness, is outwardly unremarkable, to put it mildly, she is also thirteen years older than her husband. And they do not have their own children either - they are raising adopted ones, which does not prevent Jackman from calling his wife "the best wife and mother in the world." And this has been going on for almost twenty years! Little of - . She didn't like the fact that he would become his filming partner - and he turned down the role. And although Furness later admitted that it was a joke, there is some truth in every joke, and, according to rumors, it was a matter of ordinary jealousy.

For more than ten years of marriage (and they got married only in 2012, four years after the birth of their son), the short fat Tara, of course, acquired a certain secular gloss, but she never became a beauty. But she showed remarkable business ingenuity, becoming a successful businesswoman and taking up the restaurant business together with her husband.

Unlike his famous movie hero James Bond, who changed girlfriends in every episode, the actor is distinguished by enviable consistency. With his first wife, actress Cassandra Harris, he was married for eleven years, and having buried his wife (in 1991, Cassandra died of ovarian cancer), he was inconsolable for several years. In 1994, he met his second wife, TV presenter Keely Shay Smith, who was then twice as slim as she is now. However, overweight does not prevent her from keeping one of the sexiest handsome men around her for more than two decades, which many women consider Pierce Brosnan even now, when he is no less than sixty-two years old. And the actor's tender feelings for his wife are known to all those around him.

Both the figure and the facial features of Joe Green are infinitely far from the model. The children (and the spouses have three of them), fortunately, went to their father. The second half Hugh Laurie, a former theater administrator, is another "gray mouse" that makes millions of beauties wonder why the actor made such a choice. And at the same time, it refutes the version that men are friends with some women (those same "mice"), and marry others. “We were friends for a long time, and then suddenly we realized that we started dating. Why? I like women with logical thinking, ”he admitted in one of his interviews.
Vincent Perez and Karin Sila
Photo: globallookpress.com The wife of the sex symbol of French cinema - model Karin Sila (half French, half Senegalese) is a year younger than him, but in many photos she looks like she is ten years older than him. The appearance of Karin, who neglects all the achievements of anti-aging cosmetology, is one of the favorite topics of evil languages. If she is a beauty (and this is what Vincent Perez thinks for many years), then she is very non-standard. Moreover, the actor still had to seek his chosen one, who at the time of their acquaintance was in a relationship with. Vincent Perez was persistent, and after the divorce, Karin Sila finally responded to his feelings in return. The spouses, who have been happily married since 1998, have three common children, and Vincent Perez does not get tired of repeating how much he adores his wife.
Photo: globallookpress.com The youngest billionaire in the world and one of the most enviable suitors on the planet also chose not an actress, supermodel or socialite as his life partner, but a school biology teacher and pediatrician Priscilla Chan, whom he met when both of them were still students. After nine years of relationship, young people got married, and in December last year they had a long-awaited daughter. According to him, Priscilla attracted him, first of all, for her simplicity and directness. In addition, like him, she is completely indifferent to luxury and fame, and would rather spend time at home reading books than go to a boutique or beauty salon.
