Cuba Gooding

Cuba Gooding is one of the actors whose innate talent catches the eye and makes you follow creativity. The viewer remembered several major roles, the man continues to win awards - "Oscar", "Emmy", "Sputnik". In his arsenal - the role of invincible athletes, courageous police officers and notorious criminals.

Cuba Michael Gooding Jr. was born on January 2, 1968 in the Bronx, New York, to a musical family. Mother Shirley Sillivan was a member of the Australian band Sweethearts, and father Cube Gooding Sr. was the vocalist of the soul band The Main Ingredient. In addition to the boy, the family raised three children: April, Omar and Thomas. The actor's paternal grandfather is from Barbados.

The Gooding family moved to Los Angeles in 1972 when "Everybody Plays the Fool" The Main Ingredient became a worldwide hit. After 2 years, fame turned Cuba's father's head, and he left his wife and children. Shirley had to raise 4 kids on her own.

Due to frequent moves, the boy had to change 4 educational institutions. He first went to school in North Hollywood, then to Californian Tustin, Apple Valley High School. Cube received his high school diploma from the John F. Kennedy School in Los Angeles. The teenager easily found a common language with classmates, which helped him to occupy the post of class president three times. At 13, Cuba converted to Christianity.

With his mother's milk, Gooding absorbed artistry and melody. For the first time as an artist, the young man showed himself in 1984 - he danced a break during the performance of Lionel Richie at the closing of the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

After graduating from school, Kyuba studied Japanese martial arts for 3 years until he realized that his purpose was to be in the frame. The young man took some acting lessons, but did not waste time on professional education - already in 1981 he received his first cameo role in the police series "Hill Street Blues".

In the 1980s, Gooding appeared in the Eddie Murphy comedy A Trip to America, the sitcom Amen and the action series Secret Agent MacGyver.

1991 brought the aspiring actor his debut main role: in the film drama "The Boys Next Door" Cube played Tre Styles, one of the three best friends who were sucked in by the criminal world of South Central. Laurence Fishburne and Ice Cube joined the creative trio. The film was nominated twice for an Oscar, but did not receive an award.

In 2002, it was included in the US National Film Registry as an asset of American culture. Immediately after The Boys Next Door, Gladiator (1992) was released, a Rowdy Herrington drama that refutes the claim that Sport is Life.

Боксер Томми Райли (Джеймс Маршалл), мечтая погасить долги отца, становится участником подпольных боев, «гладиатором» спортивного агента – папочки Джека. Его товарищ по несчастью – Абрахам Линкольн Хейнс (Кьюба Гудинг). Обстоятельства заставляют двух мужчин, ставших друзьями, сразиться лицом к лицу. Фильм провалился в прокате: при бюджете $20 млн он собрал всего $9,2 млн.

В последующие годы фильмография Гудинга пополнилась несколькими второстепенными ролями в лентах «Несколько хороших парней» (1992), «Ночь страшного суда» (1993), «Эпидемия» (1995).

В молодости Кьюба часто играл спортсменов, и исполнение в романтической драме «Джерри Магуайер» (1996) удостоилось «Оскара». Главную роль спортивного агента, который лишился работы, исполнил Том Круз. Несмотря на неудачу, мужчина держит в рукаве «туз» - талантливого спортсмена Рода Тидуэлла. Воплощение этого персонажа принесло Гудингу «Спутник» и премию Гильдии киноактеров США. Сборы фильма в 5 раз превысили бюджет: $273 млн против $50 млн.

В 2000 году американец покорил зрителей в картине «Военный ныряльщик», исполнив роль мужественного и талантливого водолаза. Двери перед великим будущим закрываются только из-за его цвета кожи. Военную тематику актер продолжил в фильме «Перл-Харбор» (2001).

В биографии Гудинга выделяется «комедийный» период, который начался с фильма «Снежные псы» (2002), затем были «Морское приключение» (2002), «Борьба с искушениями» (2003), «Дежурный папа: Летний лагерь» (2007).

В 2009 году Кьюба исполнил главную роль в биографическом фильме «Золотые руки: История Бена Карсона» о враче-нейрохирурге, который первым разделил затылочных сиамских близнецов. После наступил период боевиков: «Поворот с Тахо» (2009), «Убить по расписанию» (2011), «Смертельный список» (2011).

Оскароносная «Сельма» (2014) стала особенным проектом для Гудинга, поскольку в основу легли события марша 1965 года за избирательные права чернокожих граждан США. В продолжение афроамериканской тематики актер засветился в сериале «Книга негров».

2016 год прошел под флагом «американских историй». В историческом сериале «Американская история преступлений» Гудинг сыграл О. Джея Симпсона – спортсмена и актера, которого обвинили в убийстве жены и ее любовника.

Сезон основывался на книге Джеффри Тубина «Главный забег в его жизни: Народ против О. Джея Симпсона». Суд над спортсменом считается самым затяжным в истории США (более 9 месяцев). Обвиняемым в подобном преступлении полагается смертная казнь, а Симпсон отделался 9 годами заключения.

Гудинг также появился в 6-м сезоне «Американской истории ужасов: Роанок».

В 2018 году актер снялся в драме «Болотная игра», вернувшись к образу спортсмена.

In 1994, Cuba Gooding married a girl he had been in love with in high school - Sarah Kapfer. The family had three children: sons Spencer and Mason, daughter Piper. The actor often appears with children on the carpet.

In 2014, Kapfer filed for legal separation from Gooding, and in 2017, her husband filed for divorce. An American once spoke about his personal life on a talk show:

Now the divorce of the Gooding family has not yet been finalized and it is unclear whether the process will be completed: sometimes photos appear in the press in which Cuba and his wife look very happy.

In 2019, the drama "Life in a Year" will be released, in which Gooding will play one of the supporting roles.

The plot of the film is very trivial: a young man finds out that his beloved is terminally ill, and decides to fit the impressions of his whole life into one year.
