John Paul Cusack

John Paul Cusack is an American film actor who became world famous in 1997, after the movie "The Gross Point High School Killer" was released, for which the artist himself wrote the script. John also starred in Jacuzzi Time Machine, Intuition, and Mandatory Dogs.

John was born in Illinois in the family of mathematics teacher Ann Paula Carolan and actor Richard Cusack. The boy became one of five children in the family: John has a brother, Bill, as well as sisters Anne, Joan and Susie. All five children followed in their father's footsteps and became actors.

Cusack's first encounter with the stage happened when he was three years old. In the children's play "Cinderella", where the whole family played, the boy was entrusted with the role of a dog. Instead of high school, John attended theater and only in high school began to study at the city school in Evanston. The teachers noted the boy's acting talent and even trusted John for roles in "adult" performances, but the teenager himself dreamed of a baseball career, and did not even take theater and cinema seriously.

Nevertheless, at the age of 12, John Cusack got a job at a local radio station and worked for several years as an announcer, and also reads advertisements. It was hardly possible to fully combine serious sports training with work on the radio and in the theater, although the young man tried. There is also a certain discrepancy between the actor's perception of childhood. The teachers described John as a cheerful boy full of enthusiasm and cheerfulness. And Cusack himself says that as a teenager, he hated school, despised power and government, and also felt like an outcast in society.

After school, John Paul Cusack entered New York University, but took only one course, as he realized that he was "already sick of classes." The young man leaves the university and goes to conquer Hollywood.

John Cusack was 17 years old when he first appeared in films - in the youth melodrama "Class", and over the following years the actor starred in more than 80 films. Already at the initial stage, Cusak began to trust the main roles, for example, in the adventure film The Journey of Natty Gun, the comedy One Crazy Summer and the crime melodrama Bullets Over Broadway.

The major breakthrough in Cusack's professional biography came in 1997. First, John took part in the creation of the top-rated thriller "Prison in Air", then starred in the crime drama "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil", and then fulfilled an old dream - gained attention to his own script for the black comedy "The Gross Point High School Killer". When this film was released, critics and movie fans started talking about John.

After that, Cusack's career took off instantly. If you just list the films in which the actor played the main characters, then you will need more than one notebook sheet. Popular films include the romantic film Intuition, the light melodrama The Love of Dogs is Obligatory, the family drama The Martian Child, and the ironic comedy Time Machine in the Jacuzzi.

In 2003, with the participation of Cusack, the detective thriller "Identification" was released, in which it was about a group of tourists forced to hide in a nearby motel from the pouring rain. But the hotel did not save the company from the maniac's actions.

An interesting role was offered to the actor in the thriller "The Raven": Cusack played the author of this classic poem, Edgar Allan Poe. Among the latest works by Cusack, the action-packed drama Motel, where John portrayed the killer Jack, who carries out a task of transporting cargo, received high ratings. Suddenly, it turns out that the bag is being hunted by criminals, police and FBI agents. In addition to Cusack, Dominic Purcell and Robert De Niro played in the film.

In the late 2000s, Cusack could not refuse an offer to star in the 2012 disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich, where he played the main character Jackson, one of the few survivors of a planetary disaster. The project turned out to be a box office, grossing $ 788 million in the world. Among the works included in the artist's filmography, there are also roles in the films "Digital Radio", "Newspaper", "Butler", "Adult World".

Actor John Cusack is called one of the most attractive men by fans. Celebrities are of the same opinion. The actor's personal life was stormy. At various times, John had stellar romances with actresses Minnie Driver, Neve Campbell, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Brooke Burns, director Alexandra Kerry, as well as fashion model Alison Eastwood, daughter of Clint Eastwood. Joint photos with eminent beauties regularly appeared on the pages of glossy publications. But none of the girls was able to truly capture Cusack's heart and become the artist's wife.

John often became the object of attacks from fans. So in 2008, a girl named Emily Letterman staged a real hunt for a Hollywood star, but the police stopped the girl in time and forced her to be monitored by a psychiatrist.

John Cusack lives an active life. The actor has a huge number of hobbies. The artist learned how to professionally fly a helicopter, in his free time he snowboard, and has also been engaged in kickboxing for 20 years, in which he reached the black belt.

In addition, the actor is a fan of sports teams from the city of Chicago. John attends matches of the Chicago Bears football club and the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team, but baseball has remained Cusack's favorite sport since childhood. The actor is equally a fan of the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox, despite the fact that fans of these clubs are considered rivals and even feuding with each other.

It is worth noting another hobby of John Cusack - the actor is a follower of the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yoga, which is called "Transcendental Meditation". Getting a new role, the actor uses meditation to help him understand the psychology, character and depths of the character's soul.

John Cusack remains a sought-after actor and producer. In 2016, the apocalyptic thriller "Mobile" was released, produced and starring by John Cusack. The protagonist of "Mobile" Clay is among the few survivors of the massacres. Clay goes in search of his wife and son.

The plot was based on the novel by the "king of horrors" by Stephen King. This is not the first time John has participated in the film adaptations of the books of this writer - Cusack has already played the role of Mike Enslin in the thriller based on the story "1408".

В 2017 году артист снялся в криминальной драме «Арсенал», где брата героя Джона Кьюсака сыграл Николас Кейдж. Появился Джон и в криминальном фильме «Я заберу твои деньги», где предстал в роли бизнесмена Миллера, отправляющегося на поиски потерянных денег, которые до этого он украл у клиента. Кьюсаку удалось воплотить образ обычного человека, который из-за страсти к богатству превращается в преступника, а затем и убийцу.

Еще один проект года, посвященный теме спасения планеты – триллер «Сингулярность», в котором герой Джона Кьюсака борется против компьютерной системы «Кронос», нацеленной на уничтожение человечества.

Now the detective "Distorted" is preparing for the release about a married couple who, after the death of a child, moves to a high-rise building equipped with an improved security system. After the move, the spouse begins to notice strange behavior in the residents of the house. The main characters will be played by Christina Ricci and John Cusack. The thriller will be released in several formats, including virtual reality.
