John Gavin Malkovich

John Gavin Malkovich is an American actor of Croatian descent. In his country, he is equally known as a theater artist, and as a film actor, and as a director. He has twice been nominated for the most prestigious Oscar, but has not yet won it. Russian audiences are familiar with John Malkovich due to his main roles in such films as Dangerous Liaisons, Agent Johnny English, Casanova Variations and Ripley's Game, as well as his underground work Being John Malkovich.

The future actor was born in the small town of Christopher, lost in the vastness of Illinois. Both of his parents were Croats by nationality and were directly involved in journalism. Father Daniel Malkovich wrote articles on environmental issues, and mother Joe Ann was the editor and publisher of the magazine. John Malkovich himself loved animals from childhood and wanted to become a biologist in order, like a father, to protect nature from human interference. By the way, in addition to secondary school, he graduated from a music studio, where he learned to play the tuba.

The guy went to get a higher education at the prestigious East Illinois University at the Faculty of Ecology. In his youth, John first encountered theatrical activity. He joined a student troupe, and later with friends organized his own youth theater "Steppenwolf" and as its actor first appeared on the professional stage in the play "The Curse of the Starving Class".

And although Malkovich worked for many years in other industries, the theater never left his life. In 1984 he met the big star Dustin Hoffman and together with him on Broadway presented the play Death of a Salesman to the public. Soon the filmography of John Malkovich began to fill. And although the actor made a dizzying career as a film actor, he never parted with the theatrical stage.

On Broadway, actor John Malkovich was noticed by film company scouts and invited to act in films. His first work was the television thriller Word of Honor. This was followed by many roles in various projects, including in the highly rated drama "A Place in the Heart", for which John was nominated for an Oscar. The first major role in the creative biography of the actor went to him in the military film "Empire of the Sun", where he performed in a duet with Christian Bale.

The popularity of Malkovich was brought by the image of Viscount Sebastian de Valmont in the film adaptation of the historical novel Dangerous Liaisons. In the film, in addition to Malkovich, the main roles were given to Glenn Close, Uma Thurman, Keanu Reeves. John Malkovich, with a height of 183 cm and a weight of 82 kg, in the attire of the "gallant age" looked convincing and elegant, which influenced his popularity.

After that, John Malkovich's films began to come out one after another. From his early career, it is especially worth highlighting the psychological drama Under the Cover of Heaven, the crime comedy The Object of Beauty, the classic film adaptation of Mice and Men, the thriller Mary Riley and the action movie In the Line of Fire, for the role of an inventive killer in which the actor was again nominated for an Oscar. In 1995, in the film Total Eclipse, John Malkovich auditioned for the role of Paul Verlaine, a gay poet and friend of Arthur Rimbaud (Leonardo DiCaprio). But the actor did not agree to participate in the drama, and on the screen the image was embodied by David Thewlis.

It should be noted the collaboration of John with Nicolas Cage in the thriller "Prison in Air", with Catherine Deneuve in the melodrama "Time Found", with Leonardo DiCaprio in the adventure film "The Man in the Iron Mask". The list of rating projects in which Malkovich participated also includes Luc Besson's drama Jeanne d'Arc, where the main character was brilliantly played by Milla Jovovich. John embodied on the screen the image of the King of France Charles VII, who ascends to the throne thanks to the efforts of Jeanne.

Fantasy art house "Being John Malkovich" split the entire filmography of the artist into "before" and "after". The audience called this picture "crazy", "absurd", "ominous", "unique". But in any case, the name of Malkovich has since stood on a par with the most famous representatives of his profession and went down in history.

In the 21st century, John starred in box-office projects - the thriller Ripley's Game, the fantasy Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the adventurous comedy Being Stanley Kubrick, the mystical melodrama The Heat of Our Bodies, bringing the number of his roles to a hundred.

John Malkovich received another portion of fame thanks to his participation in the black comedy Burn After Reading, where, in addition to him, George Clooney, Francis McDormand and Brad Pitt starred. The next comedy project of the actor was the film "Red", which tells about the persecution of retired CIA officers. The hero's partner, John Malkovich, was played by Bruce Willis. At the same time, Malkovich gets the opportunity to embody on the screen the image of the professor of literature in the drama "Disgrace".

In 2012, the American actor took part in the Italian project "Siberian Education". The film, based on real events, tells about young residents of Transnistria who face the criminal world. Malkovich had to embody on the screen the grandfather Kuzya, who had visited places not so distant, who teaches the life of his grandson. The author of the work on which the film was created, Nikolai Lilin, was able to acquaint readers with his work only after receiving Italian citizenship.

In 2014, Malkovich appeared in the role of a sea pirate in the adventure series "Skull and Bones" on NBC. Among the actor's recent works, the image of Giacomo Casanova in the musical "Casanova Variations" and the oilman Donald Vidrin in the disaster film "Deep Sea Horizon" are of interest. Malkovich can also be seen in the video clip of the rapper Eminem for the song "Phenomenal".

At the beginning of the new century, John tried himself as a director and screenwriter for several films, the most famous of which was the crime thriller "Dancing Above". And more recently, together with director Robert Rodriguez, he created a motion picture that viewers will be able to see only 100 years later - on November 18, 2115. The film, which shows various options for the future, is placed in a special capsule and is kept in the house of Louis XIII in France. In the meantime, people can only watch a short teaser, which is posted on the Internet under the title "100 Years: The Movie You Will Never See."

In 2017, John Malkovich appeared as the main character in the episode of the TV movie "About Love. For Adults Only ”directed by Anna Melikyan. His partner, who played the role of his wife, was the Russian actress Ingeborga Dapkunaite.

Russia occupies a special place in the life of John Malkovich. The actor comes to Moscow with performances and meetings. Among Russian actors, John Malkovich has friends, and the maestro's own daughter even speaks Russian. In 2011, the artist took part in the filming of the comedy show "ProjectorParisHilton". The actor is also interested in the life of the Caucasus. In 2017, John visited Armenia. In the near future he plans to visit Kazakhstan.

The first time Malkovich got married at the age of 29, while still unknown to the general public. The young man's chosen one was actress Glenn Headley, the star of the comedy "Inveterate Scammers" and the thriller "Deadly Thoughts". They got married in 1982 and have been happy for six years. But then a romantic affair with Michelle Pfeiffer, who spun on the set of the movie "Dangerous Liaisons", unexpectedly intervened in the personal life of John Malkovich. John Malkovich's wife did not tolerate treason, and the actor's first marriage came to its logical conclusion.

However, the relationship with the Hollywood fatal beauty did not continue, John never became Michelle's husband. But a year later, on the set of Under the Cover of Heaven, John Malkovich and Nicoletta Peyran met, who acted as an assistant director in this project. They are still a wonderful married couple who gave birth to two children: daughter Amandine and son Lowy. The couple with children once lived in the south of France, where Malkovich performed at the local theater, so John is absolutely fluent in French. But in 2003, the Malkovich family returned to the United States and settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Fans are interested not only in John Malkovich's personal life, but also in his habits and character. It is worth saying that he is a remarkable person. John considers himself an atheist and completely apolitical person. He does not even go to vote during the elections, because, according to him, "he does not see any point in this", which is considered an unusual manifestation of his opinion for American citizens. The actor is also a rather risky person: he invested several million dollars in a financial pyramid organized by Bernard Madoff, and lost every cent.

In addition, Malkovich tries to hide his private life, so he often travels incognito. Already a famous actor, he saved the life of an elderly passerby on a Toronto street who fell and was fatally injured. The fact is that the wire that fell from the scaffolding pierced the man's artery, and the actor clamped his neck before the ambulance arrived, preventing blood loss. And when the orderlies asked him to introduce himself, Malkovich gave an assumed name. This story would remain unknown if someone from the eyewitnesses of the events did not recognize the American star and told about it.

John Malkovich is popular not only as a filmmaker, but also as a blogger. Popular among the fans of the actor are his accounts on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, where, in addition to personal photos of Malkovich, his aphorisms also appear.

Now the actor has completed work on the Billions project. Malkovich appeared in the third season of the series in the role of the oligarch from Russia Grigor Andolov. The authors of the project, Brian Koppelman and David Levin, have previously worked with John in the crime drama "Rounders" and the thriller "Bouncers", in the first of which he reincarnated as the Russian mobster Teddy KGB. The world premiere of the series took place at the end of March 2018.

For 2018, the release of the American action movie "22 Miles" has already been announced, where John Malkovich starred with Lauren Cohen and Mark Wahlberg.
