James Michael Bennett

Jimmy Bennett is a striking representative of the generation of Hollywood child actors who were active in the 2000s. At the age of 10-12, he became the star of the films "Amityville Horror", "Evan Almighty", "Hostage" and others. Today, the guy continues his career in Hollywood, only already in the rank of adult actors, and also makes music. In 2018, Bennett accused Italian actress Asia Argento of harassment and demanded a substantial sum in damages.

Jimmy (full name James Michael Bennett) was born on February 9, 1996 in Seal Beach, California, USA.

From early childhood, the boy did not leave the TV screen, and at the age of 6 he began to ask his parents to show him the magical world of TV. Mom began to take her son to numerous children's auditions. And the adorable blue-eyed baby did not go unnoticed thanks to his talents.

As a result, Jimmy earned his first money before he went to school, starting acting at the age of 6. The boy's first acting experience was shooting in extras and advertising (over 30 videos). Then he began to play prominent roles in children's television series - "Strong Medicine" (2002), "Protector" (2002), "Amy Fair" (2003) and others.

Jimmy's acting biography begins at the age of 7. In Steve Carr's famous comedy Dad on Duty (2003), the boy played the fidgety Tony Flash, one of the pupils of the kindergarten opened by unemployed fathers Charlie (Eddie Murphy) and Phil (Jeff Garlin). Then, in 2004, small roles followed in films and TV series: "TV Presenter: The Legend of Ron Burgundy", "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Widower's Love".

Jimmy also enjoyed voicing animation characters. Characters from the Polar Express, Winnie the Pooh: Happy Days with Roo, I want a dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown, speak in his voice.

2004 revealed to the viewer the deep dramatic talent of young Bennett. He starred in the drama Chicks, directed by the Italian actress and director Asia Argento.

The 8-year-old actor brilliantly got used to the image of the unfortunate Jeremiah, whose mother is a prostitute and earns a living right in front of the child, dragging him along motels, strip clubs, truck parking lots, etc. The boy's mother, Sarah, was played by Argento herself. The work of Jimmy was highly appreciated by both viewers and professionals, after which the new roles of the young actor go to another level.

In 2005, he played the son of a member of the mafia group Tommy Smith in the action movie "Hostage"; such masters as Bruce Willis, Ben Foster, Kevin Pollack became his partners on the set.

In the same year, Bennett plays in the horror "Amityville Horror". This time, the boy got the main role - one of the three children of the Luts family, who moved to a new house full of otherworldly forces. Another young star of the film was Chloe Moretz, who played the on-screen sister Jimmy. The thriller grossed over $ 100 million at the box office, after such a wild success, the actors became incredibly popular.

By this time, Bennett is no longer accustomed to playing episodes with recognized Hollywood stars. In 2006, he appeared as the son of the hero Harrison Ford in the action movie "Wall of Fire", played in the disaster film "Poseidon". In 2007, he starred in the comedy Evan Almighty, starring Morgan Freeman and Steve Carell.

In 2009, several films with Bennett's participation were released. Two of them are especially dear to him - after all, these are the first full-fledged main roles. We are talking about the drama "Moon from Alabama" and the fantastic comedy by Robert Rodriguez "The Stone of Desire". In 2010, the actor's filmography was supplemented with another leading role in the thriller "Bones".

For his success on the screen, the teenager from 2004 to 2010 was nominated 7 times for the Young Artist Awards. And twice became the winner: for the animated film "The Polar Express" (2004) and the role in the comedy "Stone of Desires" (2009).

In 2010-2011, Jimmy flashed for the last time in a teenage role, playing a young genius in the series "Extraordinary Family".

Since 2014, the actor has starred in American television projects.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" - this question is asked by Jimmy's fans. However, there are no reliable facts about the actor's personal life. In 2011, a series of photographs of Jimmy Bennett with American actress and singer Bella Thorne appeared on the Web. The young couple appeared together on the red carpet, as well as hugging at youth parties.

Now the entire Bennett family - father, mother, Jimmy and sister Amanda - live in Huntington Beach. Parents run their own restaurant, in which Jimmy sometimes, when free, plays the guitar. In addition to cinema, the guy is passionate about rock music: he posts his work on the official YouTube channel.

According to some estimates, the actor's fortune is about $ 3 million. So Jimmy Bennett, who has long been no longer a child, but an attractive blue-eyed brown-haired man of average height (170 cm) is today one of the most enviable Hollywood bachelors.

Since August 2018, Bennett's name has been at the center of the Hollywood scandal. Moreover, the actor himself became the initiator, making a public statement (including on Instagram) that Asia Argento, who played with him in the drama Chicks, seduced him in a hotel room.

According to the victim of violence, it happened in 2013, when he was 17 years old, that is, he was still a minor. Bennett provided a photograph of him and Argento in bed and demanded $ 3.5 million in compensation.

A few months later, journalists got the information that the actress paid the guy $ 380 thousand. The heroine of the scandal herself refutes the fact of Bennett's seduction, and explained the monetary factor as “the price of silence”: he allegedly blackmailed Argento, and in order to avoid a scandal, her late lover Anthony Bourdin gave a large sum.

The details of the incident are still being investigated. Recently, Argento's friend, American actress Rose McGowan, came forward with confirmation of the fact of Asia's guilt, saying:

2003 - "Dad on Duty" 2004 - "Chicks" 2005 - "Amityville Horror" 2005 - "Hostage" 2006 - "Poseidon" 2006 - "Wall of Fire" 2007 - "Evan Almighty" 2009 - "Child of Darkness" 2009 - "Stone of Desires "2009 -" Moon from Alabama "2010 -" Bones "2012 -" Perception "2015 -" First Degree Murder "2017 -" Bosch "
