Connie Nielsen

There is a category of actors who, even while acting in films of famous directors, remain unknown to the general public. A few of them still manage to "shoot" once, but this happens very rarely, and even then - by coincidence. These include the Danish actress and model Connie Nielsen.

Connie Inge-Lise Nielsen was born in the small Danish town of Frederikshavn, located in the region of North Jutland. It happened on July 3, 1965. The girl's father, Bent Nielsen, earned money as a driver, and her mother, Laila Maizigkit, worked for an insurance company. In 1975, the Connie family moved to the town of Elling, where, 5 years later, the girl first appeared on stage in a local cabaret, where her relative worked part-time.

At the age of eighteen, the daughter of Bent and Layla moves from a Danish town to the capital of France to study acting and act in films. A year later, the girl takes part in the filming of the tape “How did you get in? We didn't notice you. " After that, Connie visited Italy and South Africa, where she also starred in TV shows and television films like White Collar (not to be confused with the American TV series of the same name, in which Matthew Bomer and Tim D.Kay played the main roles).

Nielsen's real film career began with the release of the film "The Journey" in 1993. The film was directed by John McKenzie (Die Hard, Predator, The Thomas Crown Affair), with whom Connie will continue to collaborate in the future. The actress's colleagues on the set were Rutger Hauer and Eric Roberts. In 1996, Nielsen moved to the United States to study and act with American filmmakers.

The following year, the girl appeared in the film "The Devil's Advocate" by Taylor Hackford ("Bukowski", "Dolores Claiborne", "Parker"), where the main roles, in addition to her, were played by Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino and Charlize Theron. 1998 was marked for Connie with three ribbons. The first was the painting by David Vilos ("Natural Born Killers", "Behind Enemy Lines") "Eternal Midnight" with Ben Stiller, Maria Bello and Owen Wilson.

The second film with Nielsen, released in 1998, is Wes Anderson's "Rushmore Academy" ("Kingdom of the Full Moon", "The Grand Budapest Hotel") with Brian Cox and Bill Murray.

The third tape is "Soldier" by Paul Anderson ("Mortal Kombat", "Resident Evil", "Through the Horizon"), an informal continuation of the movie "Blade Runner", released in 1981. The main role in the film was played by Kurt Russell. Jason Scott Lee and Sean Pertwee also starred in The Soldier.

In 2000, Connie was fortunate enough to play in the films Ridley Scott ("Alien", "Blade Runner", "The Martian") "Gladiator" and Brian De Palma ("Scarface", "Carrie", "Mission Impossible") "Mission to Mars ". In the first film, Nielsen played with Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix, and in the second with Tim Robbins, Gary Sinise and Don Cheadle. After these two tapes, the actress became snapped up.

In 2004, she first starred in the film Brothers by her compatriot Suzanne Beer (Revenge, Second Chance, Night Administrator), where Nikolai Lee Kaas and Ulrich Thomsen, star of the Banshee series, also played. For her participation in this film, Connie received the Bodil Prize and the San Sebastian International Film Festival Prize.

In 2005 she took part in the filming of Harold Ramis' film (Vacation, Groundhog Day, Analyze It) Ice Harvest, in which John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton shared the main roles. In 2006 she starred in the TV series Law & Order.

In 2013, Connie managed to star in the film Nymphomaniac by Lars von Trier (Dogville, Antichrist, Kingdom). Willem Dafoe, Shia LaBeouf, Christian Slater, Jamie Bell, Stellan Skarsgard and Uma Thurman also took part in the filming of this picture. In 2014, she co-starred with Kevin Costner and Haley Steinfield in Three Days to Kill, directed by McGee (Charlie's Angels, So War, Chuck).

Nothing is known about the actress's first husband, except that he is the father of Connie's eldest son, Sebastian, who was born on June 2, 1990.

In the early 2000s, Nielsen began dating Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, from whom she gave birth to a son, Bruce (Bryce Tadeusz), on May 21, 2007. In October 2012, the couple broke up.

In 2017, 2 films based on DC comics were released at once, in which Connie Nielsen played the role of Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, - "Wonder Woman" and "Justice League". During the filming of Wonder Woman, the actress became friends with her co-stars Gal Gadot and Chris Pine (as evidenced by photos posted by Connie on Instagram).

By the way, a remarkable fact: Nielsen and Gadot have the same height and weight - 178 centimeters and 50 kilograms. The actress leads an active life - often takes long walks in nature and plays with the dog.

Nielsen does not forget to express his civic position. So, after the incident with Stephen Paddock, who shot the participants of the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas on October 2, 2017, Connie began to advocate for the revision of the gun law in the state of Nevada and other US states. The actress announced this on social networks.
