Nigel John Dermot Neill

It is true that life after 40 is just beginning. When Sam Neill was 36, he became a father for the second time, and the next child was around 44. And at 70, according to rumors, he had another affair with a famous journalist, despite the noticeable age difference. And all this goes in parallel with the incessant filming of films.

On September 14, 1947, the youngest son, whose real name sounds like Nigel John Dermot, was born in Ome in the family of a New Zealand military officer Dermot and his wife Priscilla, an Englishwoman by birth. When he was born, his father was serving in the famous Irish Guard. And the insignia of the head of the family are, according to the actor, the most expensive that he has.

The Neill family was very successful in the trade in alcoholic beverages (liquor), and later Sam followed in the footsteps of his parents, heading the largest winery Two Paddocks. In 1954, he moved to the homeland of Dermot, where the boy received a classical English education at Christ's College. Here, a 10-year-old schoolboy decided to change his name to Sam in order to "save his life from pain," and for the first time entered the local theater stage.

The craving for dramatic art has also become stronger in universities - at the University of Canterbury and Victoria University of Wellington. The latter, by the way, he graduated with a degree in literature.

When asked about a vivid childhood memory with his inherent share of humor, he answered that it was difficult for him to forget whooping cough at the age of 4. Sam also has an older brother, Michael, whom he sincerely admires, and is critical of himself against his background, calling him short and capaciously “bastard”.

Once in an interview, he admitted that at an early age he stuttered, and therefore began to support the British Stammering Association as an adult.

The cinematic biography began with two small works in films with the titles "Landslide" and "Ashes". Then the filmography was replenished with the main role in the thriller "Sleeping Dogs", thanks to the cast, became "the first full-length 35mm film entirely created in New Zealand."

Later, a picture appeared in Neill's arsenal that predetermined the success in a man's creative activity - "My Brilliant Career", which was awarded a large number of awards. And then, as they say, it went like clockwork. For example, "Dead Calm" brought Sam a collaboration with Nicole Kidman and an acquaintance with his second wife.

In the filmography Nigel found a place for the fantastic "Jurassic Park" (and its third part), "The Jungle Book" and "Tohru: Ragnarok". The role of the New Zealand actor also includes Russian characters: Dmitry Vasilkov in Enigma, Viktor Komarovsky in Doctor Zhivago, Vasily Borodin in The Hunt for Red October.

Participation in the series also did not go unnoticed: the first nomination for the Golden Globe was brought to him by the serial film Reilly: King of the Spies. He also starred in The Tudors, Alcatraz and Peaky Blinders.

An interesting fact: twice he was lucky to get used to the image of King Arthur's mentor - in "The Great Merlin" in 1998 and "Apprentice of Merlin" in 2006.

Sam's incredible charm and charisma can be difficult to resist. And therefore, parting with one woman, he immediately entered into a long-term relationship with another.

In 1980, his first wife was a colleague in the workshop Lisa Harrow, who starred with her husband in "Omen - 3" and gave a son Tim in 1983. She is now married to Ocean Alliance founder Roger Payne.

In 1989, he married a second time to the makeup artist Noriko Watanabe. As mentioned above, the couple met while working on the film "Dead Calm". After 2 years, a daughter was born in the family, who was named Elena. In 2017, the couple broke up.

In 2018, information was leaked to the media that Sam's heart is again not free and belongs to ABC correspondent Laura Margaret Tingle. It was reported that they were introduced by friends, and they started flirting on Twitter a year earlier.

Neill also has an illegitimate child, Andrew, from a relationship that began in his youth, and he is the stepfather of Noriko's daughter from his first marriage.

Once in an interview, a Hollywood star, in his inimitable manner, said that the most frequently used phrase is “having sex” in a rude form, and that the favorite word is “bosom”.

Nigel is partial to sports, particularly rugby and football.

In 2018, two characters from the animated Peter Rabbit - old Mr. McGregor and Tommy Brock - spoke in his voice at once. And the actor himself appeared in the form of Captain David Hawthorne in the thriller The Passenger, which was released in Russia on International Women's Day. He also, together with Kate Winslet and Mia Vasikovskaya, is engaged in the drama "Blackbird". Despite his age, Sam is full of creative ideas. By his own admission, work is underway on the creation of a film about the first female jockey Michelle Payne, where she will play her father.

As for the political views of the three-time Golden Globe nominee, he openly supports the Prime Minister of New Zealand, and at a meeting with Barack Obama criticized the activities of Donald Trump.

As a person close to the earth, concerned about the state of the environment, and even starred in a Greenpeace advertisement promoting the rejection of the use of disposable plastic bags.

Fans can follow their personal life, everyday life and enjoy the sparkling jokes of their favorite actor thanks to their personal pages on social networks - "Twitter" and "Instagram".

Hilarious photos of pets (dogs, pigs, ducks, etc.), accompanied by witty notes, pictures of meetings with friends, travels, amazing landscapes or a new T-shirt instantly gain many likes from indifferent followers.
