Edward Harrison Norton

Edward Norton is an American actor, Hollywood star, who received three Oscar nominations. For his wayward character, he was known among his colleagues as the most unbearable actor.

The leading actor in the blockbuster The Incredible Hulk was able to argue with Marvel about the final version of the film. And the director of American History even complained that Edward unauthorizedly invaded the editing room to increase the number of scenes with his participation in the film. But the liberties in work on the set did not prevent the artist from becoming a favorite of the public.

Edward Harrison Norton was born in August 1969 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, but raised in Columbia, Maryland, USA. From the birth of the boy and his sister, Molly, a wealthy life awaited: Robin's mother was a teacher, and his father Edward Sr. was a lawyer. But his grandfather, the "inventor" of supermarkets, an architect, the famous planner of housing for low-income people and the author of a number of tourist centers in Boston, became more famous.

Edward Norton began to think about connecting his biography with the stage as a child. He "fell ill with acting" at the age of 6, when he watched the play "If I were a princess." The famous artist admits that at that moment he could not take his eyes off the "magic of the theater, the stage struck him on the spot." After some time, little Edward began attending the Orenstein Columbia School of Theater Arts, and at the age of 8 he made his debut in a local production.

The boy surprised the teachers of the drama club with a serious approach to acting, sometimes baffling them with tricky questions about the super idea of ​​his character or the original interpretation of the role played. For Norton, the stage became the place where he remained himself, could freely express the accumulated heart. For him, theatrical life was more real than mom's balanced breakfasts and dad's lectures on the need for a classical education.

After graduating from Wild Lake School in 1985, Edward Norton, at the behest of his parents, entered Yale University. For the next 5 years, the prestigious educational institution became a hard labor for the guy, the salvation from which were productions at the Yale Drama School, where he improved his acting skills.

After receiving a bachelor's degree in history, Edward, once again succumbing to the influence of his parents, went to the city of Osaka (Japan) to work in the company of his grandfather "Enterprise Fondation". Thanks to his hard work, he grew to become a member of the board of directors, but after returning to the United States, Norton could no longer pretend. Once he simply did not go to work. Edward's act caused a scandal in the parental home, but the conversation with his father was brief:

A week later, Norton auditioned for the famous playwright Edward Albee for a minute and landed a role in the play "Fragment" - and so began his creative career at the "Signature" Theater in New York. In his youth, the future star had to combine the acting profession with the work of a waiter, since he refused parental help. Norton is now part of this theatrical group.

For Edward, his film debut was the role of the imprisoned teenage sociopath Aaron in the thriller "Primal Fear", released in 1996. Norton eclipsed the protagonist, played by Richard Gere. All awards and nominations for the film were in one way or another associated with the young actor. He received a Golden Globe for his work in this film and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Subsequently, he was repeatedly nominated, including for Best Actor for his performance in the film about neo-Nazis "American History X". Norton played a Nazi who reconsidered his views. The film was repeatedly accused of excessive cruelty, but at the same time, critics admitted that it is the cruel scenes that give the film a special realism.

The next film became a landmark in Edward's career. The American actor was not nominated for major awards for his participation in the film adaptation of the novel "Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk, but real fame came to him.

The faces of Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, who played an anarchist rebel with a split personality, began to appear on T-shirts, posters, mugs and on the walls of houses in the form of graffiti.

A screenshot of Norton's character suffering from insomnia and the iconic list of fight club rules are still popular on the Web today and have acquired numerous variations and humorous rework.

In 2000, Edward Norton tried his hand at the role of director, filming the romantic comedy "Keeping the Faith", which did not fit with his hooligan role. He dedicated this tape to Robin's mother, who died of brain cancer in 1997. When asked by reporters what was special about his work as a filmmaker, Edward replied:

Soon, fans watched the play of their favorite in the drama "Frida", where the main role of the artist Frida Kahlo was played by Salma Hayek. Norton here reincarnated as the tycoon Nelson Rockefeller. This was followed by work in the thriller "Red Dragon" by Brett Ratner, where he played alongside Anthony Hopkins. Interestingly, here, too, Edward showed his character. The artist rewrote lines to himself and to his partner in whole scenes and, without agreement with the director, went out with the new text to the work site.

In 2006, Norton again showed himself in a new role and took part in the filming of the film adaptation of the British classic Somerset Maugham "The Painted Veil." Naomi Watts became his filming partner.

Norton played himself in the television series Stella. He also received positive reviews from critics for playing in the films "Kingdom of Heaven", "The Illusionist", "The Incredible Hulk".

Another major role was waiting for the actor in the detective drama Gavin O'Connor "Pride and Glory". His hero is a police officer investigating the murders of his colleagues. One day he learns that his own brother may be involved in the crimes.

In 2010, Norton landed the lead role in the drama thriller Stone. The actor has embodied a criminal who is ready to do anything for the sake of parole. The role of his beautiful wife went to Milla Jovovich, and the inspector, in whose hands the fate of the protagonist, was played by Robert De Niro.

Despite the fact that all the leading actors of the film - Michael Keaton, Edward Norton and Emma Stone - were nominated, Birdman did not take any "acting" "Oscars."

Together with producer Bill Migliore and writer Stuart Bloomberg, Edward Norton created Class 5 Films.

In May 2015, the comic strip "Fight Club 2" appeared, a sequel to the book, the adaptation of which brought popularity to Norton. Immediately after the presentation of the short story, rumors appeared that a film continuation would be released. According to press reports, Brad Pitt persuaded Palahniuk to give permission for the film adaptation. According to the plot of the comic, a lot of time has passed after the first part, the main character managed to acquire a wife and children, which means that the age of the actors will not interfere with the embodiment of already familiar characters on the screens. But there is no confirmed information about a possible film yet.

In 2011, Edward proposed to producer Sean Robertson. The couple got married in 2012. In March 2013, the couple had a son, Atlas. Norton is laconic in those interviews where he has to talk about his personal life, spouse and children. Even on Instagram, the actor avoids posting family photos. But one day he said that he was proud of his wife.

The girl at the age of 17 came to conquer Hollywood from Toronto. She managed to become friends with filmmaker Judd Apatow and start working as a producer. By the time of her 33rd birthday, Shona had already released box office projects A Little Bit Pregnant, Super Peppers, and A Forty-Year-Old Virgin.

Norton is often credited with being related to John Cusack. Similar actors, except that Cusack is taller (John's height is 188 cm versus 183 cm Norton), indeed, can be mistaken for brothers, but Edward and John have no family ties.

Gallant and courteous Norton does not forget to keep an eye on the figure. Thanks to sports training and healthy eating, the artist maintains his weight in the region of 73 kg. Edward's favorite vacation spot is the Campiya Kanzi tourist resort in Kenya, where the star flies up to 3 times a year.
