Frederic Diefenthal

French actor Frédéric Diefenthal became famous for filming in the series of films "Taxi" in the form of a friend of the protagonist. However, in addition to this tape, the artist's filmography is quite wide, he copes well with any roles, for which he fell in love with thousands of viewers.

Frederic was born in Saint-Mandé, France, in the summer of 1968. Although the man's surname sounds like Alsatian, his family hails from the southwest of the country. In an interview, the actor told how, in his youth, he often visited his grandmother, who remained to live in a small village in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Frederick studied well at school, and from childhood his parents noticed his son's acting talent, so at the age of 11 they sent him to a drama club at the school. The boy took part in school performances with pleasure.

После окончания школы, Дифенталю тогда было 15 лет, он решает не поступать в колледж. Парень устраивается на работу, сначала трудится посыльным в гостинице, позднее становится учеником парикмахера и даже пробует себя в поварском искусстве. И хотя это не помогло ему в развитии карьеры, в жизни все эти навыки мужчине пригодились, он неплохо готовит, разбирается в прическах и макияже.

Попробовать себя как актера Фредерик решил чуть позднее, записавшись на курсы драмы в театре «Virior». Он пошел туда по совету друга, который тоже решил заняться актерским мастерством. Буквально с первых занятий Дифенталь почувствовал, что театр и кино – его судьба. При этом молодой человек понимает, что в шоу-бизнесе конкуренция, и чтобы привлечь к себе внимание, он не брезгует никакими ролями, в том числе снимается для телевизионной рекламы.

For the first time, viewers saw the young man on television in the spring of 1991 in the film "Billy" directed by Marcel Bluval. Further in the acting career of Frederick, there were shooting in commercials, after which his persona was noticed by other directors, considering his talent. This did not bring the actor popularity among the audience, but the director Claude Zidi drew attention to Frederic and invited him to the cast for the picture Total Surveillance.

In 1993, a man appears on the screens in the film "There is nothing exceptional in normal people." And the actor performed his first big role in the film "Sweet France" in 1995. This comedy tape with an interesting plot did not gain much popularity, leaving Diphenthal almost unnoticed. However, the man did not despair and still accepted offers to participate in various projects.

In 1996, he starred in two tapes at once - "Stupid Love Story" and "Captain Conan", and in 1997 - only in one short film called "Le marchand de sable". Gradually adopting the experience of popular artists, with whom he had to work on the same site more than once, the artist shows his best results with each new film.

Success in the biography of Frederick appears after working in the series of films "Taxi", the premiere of the first part was released in 1998 and immediately gained worldwide popularity. Luc Besson's film, filled with subtle humor and dynamics, grossed $ 210 million worldwide, which is 4 times more than the cost of filming. In addition to Diphenthal, Emma Viklund, Marion Cotillard, Sami Naseri and other cinema stars starred in the film.

Фильм описывает жизнь молодого таксиста в Марселе, который модернизировал старую машину и уверенно обгоняет других автолюбителей на дорогах города, за что имеет невероятное количество погонь и штрафов. Эмильен (Фредерик Дифенталь) – второе главное действующее лицо картины. Он невезучий полицейский-растяпа, который никак не сдаст экзамены на получение водительского удостоверения. После задержания перед таксисом ставят условие – либо его лишают водительских прав, либо тот работает в полиции города.

После небывалого успеха новой ленты Бессона решили снимать вторую часть фильма. И в 2000 году зрители имели удовольствие снова наблюдать уже полюбившегося актера в новой части комедийного боевика. И в этот раз в фильме задействовали прошлый основной актерский состав. Помимо главного сюжета о похищении и спасении министра обороны Японии, параллельно рассказывается о непростых отношениях двух главных героев с их девушками.

Третья часть «Такси» вышла в 2003-м, а четвертая – в 2007 году. Для пятой части Люком Бессоном тоже был написан сценарий, однако снимать его взялся Жерар Кравчик. Всех главных актеров заменили, поэтому в 2018 году поклонники актера уже не увидели его в новой серии любимого фильма.

In the intervals between his work at Taxi, Frederic Diphenthal also starred in other films. The man has appeared in the films Labyrinths (2003), Blank Shot (2004), Prompter (2005) and No Panic (2006). Later, the actor began to offer the main roles more often. Fans celebrated his work in the films Chateaubriand, Red Fox and Operation Seduction.

And in 2012, Russian viewers saw Diphenthal in a coffee advertisement, he became the face of the Carte Noire advertising campaign in Russia and speaks Russian in all videos. In recent years, the actor's activity has dropped. In 2017, he starred in the mini-series "Forest", and in 2018, viewers saw Frederick in the film "Shadows of the Past" in the title role.

The actor's personal life until 2002 was associated with Claire Kem. She is a French actress and singer who became famous for her work in The Return of Jack the Ripper and Caravaggio.

After breaking up with Claire, the man quickly began dating Gwendoline Amon, she is also an actress and has about 50 films in her filmography. Soon the young people got married, the couple have children. In 2004, the wife gave birth to the wife of a son, Gabriel.

In 2016, the press became aware of the separation of the couple. And although the man did not marry again after that, he is often noticed in the company of a pretty woman.

It is also known that before this marriage, the artist was already married, with his ex-wife Gwenelle Simon, he also has a common child.

Now the actor continues to work in the chosen direction. The man starred in the comedy directed by Jean-Luc Ayach "Van Gogh in Love". The audience will see a new film with the participation of the artist no earlier than 2019, but the exact date of the premiere is not yet known.
