Kristin Kreuk

Viewers know the Canadian actress Kristin Kreuk for her main roles in the first television series, which was based on the comics “Smallville” and “Beauty and the Beast”.

Christine Laura Kreuk was born in Vancouver, Canada at the end of 1982 into an international family: her father, Peter, is from Holland, and her mother, Deanna, is a mixture of Chinese and Indonesian blood. Parents are landscape designers by profession.

The family paid great attention to the physical development of Christine and her younger sister Justine. In addition to studying at Eric Hember High School, Christine's life was attended by gymnastics, swimming, karate. It was not forbidden for the girl to demonstrate her acting skills - to sing, perform in public. Kreuk appeared on stage in school productions, but she was very critical of herself as an actress.

The girl had to forget about professional sports due to a spinal injury. Christine was preparing to enter Simon Fraser University, the Department of Psychology, when her exotic appearance attracted the director of the casting of the series "Edgmont". The director was looking for a candidate for the role of Laurel Young.

The Canadian TV series about teenage life gained popularity in America and France, and the young performer of the lead role was nominated for the Leo Awards. "Edgemont" was broadcast for five years and played a decisive role in Christine's biography. She didn't give up on the idea of ​​going to university, but hired an agent to look for roles in film or television. Another work of that period was the role of Snow White in the TV movie of the same name.

In 2004, another major role followed, this time in the youth comedy "Eurotour". In the film, Kreuk reincarnated as the character Fiona. The agent did not stand aside either. After the release of Snow White, he sent the video to producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who were screening the cast for a new project called Smallville. The casting ended with Christine being invited to play Lana Lange.

Smallville is one of America's longest running TV series, which tells the story of the early years of the comic book hero Superman. The film was repeatedly nominated for various awards, but did not receive any serious prizes. 11 nominations belong to Kristin Kreuk. In between the seasons, the young actress starred in full-length films, but these films did not bring either popularity or critical acclaim.

Kristin's athletic skills came in handy on the set of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. The film, based on a computer game, tells the story of a girl who owns martial arts and dreams of avenging her father. The Street Fighter failed at the box office. Much more enthusiasm was aroused by the role of Nazim Khan in the drama "Break" about the love of a Muslim woman and a soldier of the British army.

Kreuk returned to television with a small role in the Chuck series starring Yvonne Strahovski. Leading roles went to the girl in the films "Vampire", "Cosmic Cocktail", "Wizard of Earthsea", "Ecstasy". The latter is a film adaptation of the world bestseller of the cult writer Irwin Welch. Adam Sinclair appeared in the title role of Lloyd's drug dealer.

Another breakthrough in Christine's career came with the main role of Katherine Chandler in the drama series Beauty and the Beast. The fantastic series is another adaptation of the plot about Beauty and the Beast, which originates in medieval fairy tales. This time it was about the detective, played by Kreuk, and Dr. Keller. The Doctor is a former soldier who underwent genetic modification, thanks to which he survived. The picture began as an ordinary policeman procedural, gradually romance was added to mythology. The relationship between a policeman and a mutant, which began with mutual assistance, grew into deep feelings.

The actress admitted that the understudy was filmed in the scenes with the fall, but in the fights she demonstrated her own skills, it was not for nothing that she earned a purple belt in karate.

"Beauty and the Beast" won two People's Choice Awards, Christine was nominated twice and won the nomination "Favorite Fantastic TV Actress". Kreuk was voted Most Beautiful Canadian by Entertainment Canada.

At the end of 2016, Christine starred in the short science fiction film "Emissary" about the post-apocalypse era. The actress appeared in the form of a diplomat who arrived on Earth, who is tasked with uniting the royal clan and the ancient dynasty.

Like any celebrity, Christine's private life and hobbies attract the attention of her fans. But the actress is in no hurry to delight the curious with news. Throughout her cinematic career, the name of the girl did not appear in the headlines of the tabloids in connection with any scandal.

In "Instragram" dedicated fans have created several pages that are regularly updated. In December 2017, Kreuk once again created her own, though not verified, and there are very few photos there.

In her free time, Christine masters yoga asanas, draws, and is engaged in self-education. She is withdrawn by nature and therefore does not like social events, but occasionally she gets out to nightclubs where hip-hop sounds. She also loves to travel to exotic countries, in which she raids local shops. In addition, Kreuk represents the Neutrogena cosmetic brand.

The actress is a member of humanitarian organizations - Team Power Smart, Red Cross, together with her friend she founded Girls By Design, which helps girls in choosing an education and a profession.

Perhaps the only time Christine made her talk about herself was when the paparazzi found her and her co-star Jay Ryan at the airport. The couple went on vacation. The young man was immediately christened the potential husband of the actress - he, in the opinion of others, was very suitable for Christine in temperament.

Another name in the list of heart addictions of the star of the series is the actor Mark Hildreth, who starred in the films Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, The Tudors, and Supernatural.

Christine's latest hobby was Eric Putzer, who worked as a sound engineer and recently wrote scripts, including for a new project with the participation of the Canadian. According to the information available on the Web, the beauty has no children or an official husband.

In 2017, the Canadian actress broke a long silence: the presentation of another show with the participation of Kristin Kreuk - "Burden of Proof" took place. By the time it was released on the CBC channel, the series had changed its name to Burden of Truth. In the film, the actress plays Joan Hentley, a young lawyer who is in conflict with her father. In the work on the film, Christine also realizes her production ambitions.
