Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain is an American actress who did not immediately announce herself in a big movie. At first, her appearance was called old-fashioned, but then the directors considered a real star in the performer. Today, each new work of the artist becomes a real hit.

Jessica Chastain was born in the Californian city of Sacramento and before becoming famous, she bore the surname Howard. Chastain is her mother's maiden name, which became the actress's pseudonym.

Jessica's mother, Jerry Chastain, was a vegan cook as a chef. The girl, like her four stepbrothers and sisters, was raised by her mother together with her stepfather Michael Hastie, with whom the future actress had a warm relationship. Jessica does not give any information about her father to her fans.

Already at the age of 7, Jessica clearly knew that she would only be an actress. Her grandmother instilled in her a love for the theater. The girl began to study in a dance studio for children, and from the age of 13 - also in a drama club. After graduating from high school, Chastain starred in a production of Romeo and Juliet, and the actor who played Romeo told her about the famous Juilliard School. Jessica was on fire with a dream about this university.

Together with her grandmother, she went to New York and went through a huge competition for admission to the Juilliard School. Chastain was all the more difficult because she could not pay for the expensive tuition on her own, but the examiners liked the performance of the aspiring actress so much that she was awarded a scholarship from the famous graduate of the Robin Williams school.

Jessica Chastain began her first attempts at writing in cinema in 2004 in television series. She can be seen in such famous projects as "Dark Shadows", "Poirot Agatha Christie", "Ambulance", "Law and Order" and many others. The debut on the big screen happened 4 years later in the social drama "Jolene". The role of the main character brought the actress her first award at the Seattle International Film Festival.

A breakthrough in the creative biography of the performer occurred in 2011. Jessica starred in seven films, and four of them were huge success. According to Chastain, filming with Brad Pitt in the mystical drama The Tree of Life was an absolutely incredible experience. The racial drama "The Servant" made a splash. For her role as Celia Foote in this film, Jessica Chastain was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe.

Another notable work of Chastain - participation in the filming of the gangster drama "The Drunkest District in the World", in which she appeared in the form of a seductive dancer. Her screen partners are Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy.

In 2013, Jessica Chastain became a participant in the pilot project "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby", which consisted of three paintings of the same name, in which what was happening was shown from different angles. In all three films, the actress played the role of Eleanor, and also acted as the producer of the project.

In 2014, the performer's filmography was replenished with the first big-budget science fiction film - the film Interstellar directed by Christopher Nolan. Preparation for filming took place in strict secrecy. Jessica played the main character's daughter. The drama also stars Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway.

Later, the actress appeared in the gothic melodrama Crimson Peak, starring Tom Hiddleston. She played the role of the main character's sister. Jessica also had a chance to collaborate with her own grandmother's favorite actor Al Pacino in the adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play "Salome".

In 2016, the actress starred in the political thriller Miss Sloane. Critics praised the performance of the artist, in addition, Jessica received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Elizabeth Sloan.

The heroine of the actress is a talented lobbyist who is hired to smuggle bills into the government and manipulate public opinion. The plot of the film is built around a bill restricting the freedom to buy and own firearms in the United States. Elizabeth Sloan refuses to defend the gun lobby and joins a rival company. This is where the real enmity between former colleagues begins.

Fans ascribe more roles to Chastain than she really is, due to the fact that the actress is often confused with her colleague Bryce Dallas Howard. They are not very similar in terms of parameters: Jessica's height is 163 cm, Bryce is 170, Chaysten's weight is 50 kg, and colleagues are 63 kg, but they adhere to a similar image and both wear long bright red hair.

In 2017, the actress starred in The Zoo Keeper's Wife. The film is based on the book of the same name by Diane Ackerman.

The plot of the film is based on real events. The main characters of the film - the director of the Warsaw Zoo Jan Zhabinsky (Johan Heldenberg) and his wife Antonina Zhabinskaya (Jessica Chastain) - received the title of the righteous of the world for the fact that during the occupation of Poland by the Third Reich they hid Jews from the Nazis who escaped from the Warsaw ghetto in empty cages for animals.

Also, the actress tried her hand at the western genre and starred in the film "The Woman Goes Ahead". Another 2017 film was The Big Game, in which Jessica played the role of Molly Bloom.

For a long time, Jessica Chastain was in a romantic relationship with film director Ned Benson, but he never became the performer's husband. The couple broke up in 2010. They worked together on the trilogy "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby" after they broke off relations. For two years, nothing was known about the artist's personal life.

Since 2012, the actress began dating designer Gian Luca Passi di Preposulo, who works for the world-class Italian brand Moncler. In 2017, the lovers registered a marriage, and in April 2018, a daughter, Juliet Passy Chastain, was born in the family. The child was born with the help of a surrogate mother.

Jessica adheres to a vegan diet, and before that was considered a vegetarian. In 2012, the actress topped PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities. In addition, the celebrity is a supporter of feminism. Jessica regularly speaks about the fact that women in films are rarely given worthy and strong roles, and also often protests against giving heroines an overly sexy look.

The actress joined the social action against Harvey Weinstein, which took place on Instagram and other social networks, where the stars published news of harassment from producers and directors. Participants of the action were more than once accused of black PR and bullying, but Jessica expressed a clear position: the actress believes that hushing up such problems will only contribute to their recurrence.

Chastain loves to pose for the camera as a model. The artist prefers to appear in the photo in sophisticated outfits and rarely in a swimsuit.

A short break in her film career only benefited Jessica. In 2019, the artist appeared in several striking projects at once. She starred in a supporting role in the superhero blockbuster X-Men: Dark Phoenix, opposite James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence. And in the thriller "It-2" Jessica played the main character Beverly Marsh, who was introduced in her youth by Chastain's colleague Sophia Lillis.

Now the performer is preparing new works for the audience. In 2020, she appears in the drama "The Eyes of Tammy Faye", where she played the main character. And in 2021, the premiere of the film "355" is planned, in which Chastain will not only appear in the main role, but also act as a producer.
