Adrian Paul Hewitt

In the early 1990s, the whole world held its breath as the story of Duncan MacLeod, an immortal native of Scotland, unfolded on television. For Adrian Paul, who embodied the image of the last of the MacLeod clan, the role was the main in his film career and the most successful.

The full name of the actor is Adrian Paul Hewitt. Unlike his character, he was born not in the highlands of Scotland, but in London on May 29, 1959 in the family of an Italian and a British. Adrian became the first child, and after him two more boys were born in the family.

As a child, the future actor's main hobby was football, and in the late 1970s he even played in the Spartan League of London, in a professional football team. In addition, Adrian was engaged in choreography, attended drama school and at the age of 14 began to appear on stage.

But in his youth he was not interested in martial arts - much more the young man was carried away by competitions and courtship of girls. Adrian started thinking about fighting skills in high school, where he had to fight for the attention of the opposite sex.

In 1979, due to his bright appearance, the future actor got into the modeling business, which made it possible to visit many European countries. The dancer's skills came in handy in this work too - Adrian was engaged in the choreographic part of fashion shows.

In 1985, Paul went to America, but not with the goal of conquering the film industry - the man planned to take his modeling and choreographic career to a new level. His friend lived in Hollywood, so the man first of all went there and a year later continued to take acting lessons.

In an interview, Adrian admitted that he met his first agent Lynn Rawlins by chance. Once he got into a conversation with a photo studio employee, where the future actor came for ready-made pictures. Upon learning that Paul was an Englishman, the girl asked if he had thought to play Bond and why his agent had not yet arranged it.

Adrian admitted that he did not have an agent, to which the girl volunteered to set him up with an acquaintance working in this field. Paul then, by his own admission, decided that the girl just wanted to flirt with him. But she really brought the man to the agent, and after 3 months Adrian got the first role - dancer Nikolai Rostov in the TV series "Dynasty 2: Colby Family". Regarding this role, the actor repeatedly sneered that the Italian of British descent ended up playing a Russian in the American TV series.

After his debut, the guy played several roles, both small and leading, in films and on television. The most ambitious work of this period was the main role in the television movie "Owl", where Adrian played the role of the city vigilant, who declared war on crime after the tragic death of his wife and daughter.

And in 1992, the era of the "Highlander" began in the actor's biography. By this time, the franchise had already begun: in 1986, the film of the same name was released with Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod and its disastrous sequel, Highlander 2: The Resurrection. Adrian was initially called to create the serial image of Connor, but the actor persuaded the creators to make a separate character. Lambert appeared as a guest star and tied the unfamiliar to the viewer Duncan MacLeod by family ties with his character.

The series in the first season received positive reviews from critics and won audience success. As a result, "Highlander" stayed on air for 6 seasons, and during this time 119 episodes were filmed. During the filming, Adrian Paul tried himself not only as an actor, but also as a director. And already the first attempt was more than successful: the series "Homeland", which tells about Duncan's return to his homeland, was recognized as the best episode of the series.

Due to the popularity of the project, two more attempts were made to return "Highlander" to the movie screen. "Highlander 3" talked only about the character of Lambert, but the next part became a crossover between the series and the movie. So in the filmography of Adrian appeared the picture "Highlander 4: The End of the Game". But, apparently, the full-length films of the franchise, after the success of the first series, were not destined to justify the costs of filming: both films at the box office failed.

After graduating from Highlander, the actor continued to appear in TV shows and movies, including collaborating with Russian actor and bodybuilder Alexander Nevsky. In 2003, Paul appeared in the role of a demon in the popular multi-part project "Charmed", but he could not repeat the success of his main work. Adrian himself says that Duncan MacLeod deprived him of other roles - directors and viewers saw in the actor only a 400-year-old highlander, who, in the end, should remain the last of the immortals.

In 1990, the actor married model Melanie Paul. The marriage lasted 7 years and broke up due to the lack of children and Adrian's constant employment on the set. In 2009, the man proposed to Alexandra Tonelli, whom he had met for several years. In the marriage of the actor in 2010, a daughter, Angelica Valentine Rose, appeared, and in 2012, his wife gave birth to Adrian's son, Royce Paul.

In addition to his native English, Adrian is fluent in two other languages. His mother taught him Italian, and Paul was first taught French at school, and then the actor had language practice while working as a model in Paris. Paul also speaks Cockney, a London vernacular dialect that is quite difficult to understand even among English-speaking people.

In addition to his artistic career, Adrian is involved in charity work. The actor founded the "PEACE" foundation, which aims to help children and fight social injustice.

Although the success of "Highlander" could not be repeated, Adrian is filming a lot and regularly - in 2018 alone, 4 films with the participation of the actor were released. Paul is also involved in producing, for which he founded Filmblips Inc. in 2008.

Adrian is still in excellent physical shape: with a height of 183 cm, the weight of the actor is 93 kg - mainly these kilograms fall on muscle mass. Regular physical activity, proper nutrition and the absence of bad habits help to keep yourself in good shape.

Paul is no stranger to modern technology and blogs on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. On Instagram, Adrian uploads both photos of the work process and pictures of his personal life - in the account you can easily find photos with his wife and children.
