Justin Long

The name of the American movie star Justin Long is familiar to fans of the comedy genre. After the release of the comic projects "Crossroads", "American Divorce" and "Big Grub" with Long's participation on the wide screens, his appearance on the screen brings a smile. But Justin can also play dramatic roles: in the actor's filmography, he works in thrillers, melodramas and horror movies, where he is no less convincing.

Justin Jacob Long is a native of Connecticut, USA. The artist appeared in the summer of 1978 in the city of Fairfield, in the family of an actress and a teacher.

Justin's mom, former Broadway theater actress Wendy Lesnyak, raised the children in strictness. Her father, professor of philosophy James Long, was in solidarity with her. The sons followed the Catholic commandments and received a religious education. According to an established home tradition, the family met every Sunday at church mass, adhering to the canons of the faith.

Justin Long studied at the Jesuit school, where, in addition to physics and mathematics, he studied ancient languages ​​and ancient history. But not strict school rules and religious upbringing in the family became defining in Justin's biography. From childhood, the boy showed artistry and a cheerful disposition. Young Long, sociable and energetic, easily made new friends, found himself in the center of any company. Teachers noticed the boy's acting talents early and often used him in school productions, trusting the main roles.

Despite the severity and religious morals in the family, the parents did not oppose their son's hobby and even found him a drama club, where Justin Long honed his acting skills.

In fairness, it should be noted that all the children of the Long family turned out to be artistic. All three sons became actors. Mom helped them in every possible way with professional advice. Looking ahead, let's say that Justin's younger brother, Christian Long, recently appeared in youth TV shows and promises that he will be heard about in the near future. Older brother Damian Long goes to the theatrical stage of Broadway and puts on performances with students of the prestigious Weston High School.

But the middle son achieved the greatest success. After graduating from high school, Justin Long became a student of the Vassar Liberal College, a famous acting troupe of comedians. In the first days of his stay in college, the guy was accepted into the troupe, where he improved his acting skills. Soon, the aspiring comedian joined the Laughingstock troupe, in which he appeared on the stage.

The troupe's performance attracted the attention of American filmmakers. The casting director of MGM, having seen Long's play, invited the young artist to participate in an advertisement for Pepsi. The work brought Justin a fee and an acquaintance with the legendary Clint Eastwood, about a short collaboration with whom the actor speaks with admiration today.

Acting in commercials, Justin Long did not stop working with the "Ridiculous" troupe. But in 1999 it was interrupted due to the appearance on the set of Dean Parisot's comedy project "In Search of the Galaxy". The series, in which Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman played the main roles, seated half of America near the TV screens. Therefore, participation in the project, even in a small role, brought recognition to Justin Long.

The following year, the actor was involved in a new project - the TV series "Ed", where he played a hero named Warren and appeared on the screens all 4 years of the project's release. In parallel, Long starred in other films and TV series.

In 2001, the premiere of the thriller Jeepers Creepers, shot by film studios in the USA and Germany, took place in Munich. Justin Long, Gina Philips and Jonathan Breck were entrusted with the main roles. The character Darius Jenner (Darry) is Long's first film work where he played a key character.

In 2002, filming began for the sequel to Jeepers Creepers, in which Justin appeared on the set with Ray Wise and Nikki Aycox. The premiere took place in the spring of 2003. The work in "horror" brought the young actor a nomination for "Saturn", turning him into a rising star in Hollywood.

Another striking project in which Long is involved and whose rating has skyrocketed is the comedy melodrama Crossroads, where Justin played the boyfriend of Britney Spears' heroine. The actor got the role that half of the world's men dreamed of. This was followed by the popular comedy films "Bouncers", "Big Food" and "Crazy Races".

From 2006 to 2010, Justin Long starred in independent films and major projects of the "dream factory". The most striking roles of that period - the films "American Divorce", "Die Hard 4.0", "Bigfoot", "Promising is not getting married."

The films "Drag Me to Hell", "Life Beyond", "At the Distance of Love" and "The Conspirator" helped Longu gain a foothold in the world cinema olympus. Having starred in them, Long has firmly occupied a stellar niche in American cinema.

In the spring of 2013, the premiere of a parody film about Apple's creator Steve Jobs, in which Justin Long played the main role, took place. The full-length film "iSteve" is the first film about the pioneer of the IT era, filmed after his death.

The following year, the actor delighted his fans with the appearance in the comedy horror film "Tusk" by Kevin Smith. This is the first part of a trilogy, which will include the films "Yoganut" and "Jaws of an Elk". Director Kevin Smith named the genre in which the project is filmed, arthouse body horror. The comedy "Tusk", in which Justin Long and Michael Parks starred, received a warm welcome from the audience.

In 2015, viewers saw Justin in the comedy sketch Portlandia, where he got the episode.

Justin Long can hardly be called a womanizer, but there are a couple of novels in his biography that are being talked about. In 2010, on the set of the melodrama At the Distance of Love, the actor met Drew Barrymore: according to the script, they have a passionate romance. Rumor has it that the romantic relationship from the set spilled over into real life and lasted a year. The reason for the separation of the stars is not clear.

Soon, American tabloids reported on Justin Long's new relationship with another Hollywood diva - Kirsten Dunst. Friends of the actors after a couple of months confirmed that Justin and Kirsten's romance was true, but the couple avoided frank answers to questions about their personal lives and did not advertise the relationship.

Together, the two stars looked great: the blonde beauty Kirsten and the stately (Long's height is 1.74 meters and weighs 82 kilograms) brunette. But this relationship ended in nothing.

Kirsten Dunst was replaced by Amanda Seyfried. The girl drew attention to her colleague because of the post on Instagram, where Justin Long posted a photo of the snail, captioning it "Come on!"

The affair lasted two years, and the couple's friends started talking about an imminent marriage. Career rise and employment have become an obstacle to the development of love relationships. In 2015, a source from Seyfried's entourage told reporters that the couple broke up on Amanda's initiative: the mismatch of work schedules alienated the lovers from each other.

The actor's broken heart was healed by the charming Scotswoman Lauren Mayberry, the vocalist of the Glasgow synth-pop group Chvrches. Lauren is a singer-songwriter and journalist.

In the summer of 2016, the second part of the "Canadian Trilogy" was released - the film "The Yoganuts". The world premiere of Kevin Smith's horror comedy took place in the US in mid-summer. Long played Bayer's yoga.

Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose Depp and Harley Quinn starred in The Yoganuts. Depp also appeared, playing detective Guy LaPointe.

The release of the third part of the trilogy - "Jaws of an Elk" - was announced at the end of 2017.
