Jonathan Favreau

Jonathan "John" Favreau is an American actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter, bestselling roles in the bestselling films Iron Man, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War.

On the way to success, the actor starred in independent films, but even after his star shone in the Hollywood sky, Jon Favreau did not give up episodes and secondary roles in mass cinema, which allowed him to increase his recognition and firmly gain a foothold in the "star factory".

Jonathan Kohl Favreau was born in Queens, the second largest New York borough, located on Long Island. John's parents had no relation to theater and cinema: his father taught at a school for children with disabilities, his mother worked as an elementary school teacher. In 1979, a 13-year-old teenager experienced a tragedy: his mother died of leukemia.

After 5 years, John Favreau, after graduating from high school in the Bronx, became a student at Queens College at New York City University. But it was then that the seething energy of the young man manifested itself, in whose veins the Italian, Canadian, French blood of the father and the Jewish blood of the mother were mixed. After his third year, Favreau dropped out of college and went to make money on Wall Street: he got a job at the largest investment bank Bear Stearns.

A year later, the future actor returned to college to complete his education, but lasted a semester and left again. This time, Jon Favreau was seized with a desire to conquer the film industry. In the summer of 1988, 22-year-old Jonathan moved to Chicago, where he got a job in the troupe of the Olympic improvisation theater, from where he soon moved to the Improv Institute.

Earnings on the stage did not allow making ends meet, and Favreau washed dishes in Chicago eateries. John dreamed of cinema and big roles, but visits to film studios and auditions did not give the desired result. Desperate to start a cinematic career in Chicago, Favreau went to the Hollywood Hills.

For several years, the actor starred in episodes of inconspicuous films. Luck smiled at Jon Favreau in the early 1990s. The sports drama "Rudy" by the American director David Anspo was released, on the set of which Favreau met Vince Vaughn. The actors became friends and subsequently the creative paths of the two stars crossed several times.

The debut was successful, and a year later the actor was invited to the comedy series "Seinfeld", which became the leader of the list of the American TV Guide magazine and the third in the top 100 of Entertainment Weekly after The Sopranos and The Simpsons.

In 1996, Favreau realized his old dream of launching an author's project. John wrote the script in which he provided the main role for himself. Doug Lyman volunteered to direct the film, and Favreau himself produced Party People. For a key role, he called Vaughn's friend and colleague. The tape brought box office success.

In 1997, Jon Favreau starred in 6 episodes of the cult TV series Friends, brilliantly playing Pete Becker. Then the artist appeared in the biographical drama Rocky Marciano, where he reincarnated as the legendary American boxer. 2000th Favreau met with the main roles in two rating projects: the sports comedy film "Substitution" and in the sparkling melodrama "Love and Sex".

In 2001, fans received a surprise from the movie star: Favreau made his directorial debut. On the screens came the crime-comedy tape "Everything is captured." Favreau in tandem with Vince Vaughn became the producers of the project and starred in the main roles. The company of the two stars was the third - Peter Falk. In Russia, the tape was watched on video in November. In the same year, viewers saw the actor as a cameo in the iconic "The Sopranos".

Further film biography of the actor moved on an increasing scale: Jon Favreau starred in the action movie "Daredevil", in which the key character was played by Ben Affleck, in the drama "Big Emptiness" and the comedy melodrama "Love by the Rules and Without". In the latest project, director Nancy Meyers brought together Hollywood stars Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton and Keanu Reeves on the set.

Favreau reached the peak of his popularity in 2008, when the sci-fi action movie Iron Man was released. The film was shot at the Marvel film company by John himself, and the director called Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow for the main roles.

The film was nominated for Oscar and BAFTA, and the box office success of half a billion dollars speaks for itself. Favreau appeared on the screens as Happy Hogan. In 2010 and 2013, sequels to the action movie were released, in which Favreau reappeared as Hogan.

Favreau, having a stellar status, did not refuse minor roles and tiny episodes in the films, which, as he guessed, could become cult. In 2012, he made a cameo appearance in Andrew Stanton's fantasy action movie John Carter.

In 2013, John played lawyer Manny Riskin in the acclaimed black comedy "The Man of Wall Street", directed by the legendary Martin Scorsese. The project with Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role was showered with awards and nominated for prestigious awards.

In 2017, the premiere of John Watts' fantastic action movie Spider-Man: Homecoming, which became the 16th film in the Marvel cinematic universe. And again Jon Favreau as the brilliant Happy Hogan.

The explosive character and seething energy of the artist are manifested exclusively on the set. Surrounded by family, Jon Favreau is a loving husband and caring father. Wife Joya Tillam, whom the actor and director married in November 2000, gave birth to three offspring to her husband: son Max and daughters Madeline and Rose.

Photos of the happy family in its entirety, subscribers, whose number at the beginning of 2018 exceeded half a million, can be seen on the star's page on Instagram.

In 2018, viewers will see their favorite actor in the American fantasy action movie Avengers: Infinity War, directed by the brilliant duo of brothers Anthony and Joe Russo.

In the film, which is the sequel to "Iron Man" (19th in the Marvel universe), John Favreau is again assigned the role of Hogan. The project has a stellar cast. Viewers will see on screen Robert Downey Jr. in the key role, as well as Josh Brolin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Scarlett Johansson and Benicio Del Toro.

As conceived by the authors of the script, the efforts of the Avengers are united with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Together, they engage in a battle with Thanos, whose goal is to collect six stones of Space. Filming, in which Favreau participated, started in the US state of Georgia, then moved to Scotland and ended in New York.

In the spring of 2019, the premiere of the sequel to Infinity War, the 22nd Marvel movie entitled Avengers 4, was announced. Jon Favreau, as a director, will delight fans with a new project in 2019: the adventure fantasy film "The Lion King" will be released. The picture is a remake of the 1994 cartoon of the same name.
