Robert Carlyle

Critics praise this brilliant actor for his versatility: he plays both a priest and a cannibal with equal skill. And the female half of the audience considers the artist one of the most attractive stars, a real sex symbol, although he has neither the classic beauty of George Clooney, nor the American gloss of Brad Pitt.

Robert Carlisle became a star after the release of the bestsellers "Trainspotting", "Male striptease" and "The whole world is not enough." But it took him a long time to get to Olympus. Behind the man's back is a difficult childhood and a stormy youth.

Robert Carlisle was born in April 1961 in the old area of ​​the Scottish metropolis of Glasgow - Maryhill. The family life of parents, Scots Elizabeth and Joseph Carlisle, did not work out. Joseph was not adapted to the surrounding reality and was interrupted from earnings to earnings. The family lived on the brink of poverty. Elizabeth could not stand the severity of life and ran away from home, leaving three-year-old Robbie Carlisle in the care of her father.

When the boy was 7, Joseph joined the hippie commune. This tight-knit community wandered from city to city, occupying empty houses (called squatting). For several years the Carlisles lived in an abandoned house in Chelsea. And when they were kicked out of there, they spent a year and a half interrupted on the beach pier in Brighton, in East Sussex of England.

Nevertheless, Robert Carlisle recalls his childhood and adolescence with trepidation, and his father for him always remained, if not an idol, then those whom he imitated and thanks to whom he came to the cinema. After all, Joseph turned out to be a creative person. He not only painted well, decorating shop windows and signs, but also showed real artistry and turned into a chameleon when he needed to get a client. Robbie enthusiastically listened to his father when he started to talk about his adventures: he turned out to be a ready actor who, by the will of fate, did not get on the stage.

The desire to become an artist came to Robert Carlisle not in childhood, but somewhat later. At 15, the guy dropped out of school and started making money wherever he could. The first money and dubious friends turned Robbie into a difficult teenager. He was rapidly sliding into the abyss, but the death of a close friend from a drug overdose stopped Robert in time. He went to night school and discovered the world of books. I read voraciously. And he first appeared on the theater stage.

The plays of Arthur Miller played a decisive role in Carlisle's decision to become an artist. Reading the works, Robert found himself wanting to play all the characters.

If in his youth Robbie played with enthusiasm on the amateur stage, then at 22 he came to the theater studio of the Glasgow Arts Center. A year and a half later, he brilliantly passed the exams and became a student at the famous Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.

In 1990, the future star of British cinema, together with colleague Alexander Morton, founded a theater troupe, naming the group "Raindog" after one of the albums of his favorite singer Tom Waits. In the troupe, Robbie was not only an actor. He built sets and even, remembering his father's lessons, tried himself as a graphic designer.

The debut performance "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" brought Carlisle recognition and victory in the competition for aspiring directors, which is held every year by the Royal Academy among its graduates.

The cinematic biography of Robert Carlisle began in 1991. The debut of the artist in the film "Dregs of Society" attracted the attention of directors and viewers. Rob played a construction worker so convincingly that many wondered at which construction site the director found this artist. At the same time, no one believed that Carlisle was a graduate of the Scottish Royal Academy.

The ingenious reincarnation is a hallmark of the actor. But here not only talent played a role, but also considerable work that stood behind each role. Carlisle, preparing to play Adolf Hitler in the film "Hitler: The Rise of the Devil", listened to Wagner for days and watched the films of Leni Riefenstahl. Before being reincarnated as a homeless person, Robert lived for a while in the Waterloo village, where the shooting was planned, as a homeless person.

The same story with the movie Stargate. Universe ”, where the actor was entrusted with the role of a fanatic scientist. To get into character, he attended lectures at the University of British Columbia for six months. Robert approached each of his jobs so conscientiously that, even as a bus driver, he received the rights of the corresponding category.

Real loud fame came to the Scotsman after the films "Riff Ruff", "Trainspotting" and "Male striptease". For the last tape, Robert Carlisle was awarded a BAFTA award.

However, even world popularity did not force the artist to appear in projects that he did not like. He made no exceptions even for high-budget films. Carlisle even today prefers only original projects, in which acting is in the first place, and not props and special effects.

Whoever he did not play: a gay priest, steelworker, sorcerer, king and tyrant, homeless and cannibal.

In 2005, fans of the Scottish star saw their favorite artist in the role of mafia and human trafficker Sergei Karpovich in the film "Living Goods". For this brilliant work, Carlisle received an Outstanding Supporting Actor nomination.

And in 2006, Robert first turned to science fiction and starred in the role of the sorcerer Darza in the film "Eragon". At the same time, the artist played this character as he saw fit. In the author's "reading", Carlisle's hero moves little. He conveys most of the emotions with facial expressions and intonation. For a more realistic image, the actor did not part with the stage costume for days, so that even the folds of his clothes looked real.

Then Robert appeared in the mini-series "The Last Enemy", where Benedict Cumberbatch, Anamaria Marinka, Max Beasley and others became partners on the stage of the artist.

Since 2011, the actor has been a part of the fantastic series Once Upon a Time. The high ratings of the project pushed the creators to shoot 7 seasons of the serial film. Carlisle appeared in all. Interestingly, the role of Mr. Gold was written specifically for the brilliant artist. And to create the character's voice, the actor was given an idea by the man's youngest son, Percy. Robert appeared before the audience in the role of a Dark Wizard named Rumplestiltskin. According to the plot, no person should know the real name of the sorcerer, otherwise he could demand any desire from him.

Initially, Rumpel was an ordinary peasant, quiet and calm, who lived with his wife and beloved son, and after a series of events he turned into a cunning and insidious magician. However, feelings for Princess Belle, who, in order to save her father's kingdom, voluntarily became a servant of the Dark One, turned the man's life. The role of the wizard's beloved was played by actress Emilie de Ravin.

Gradually, the curtain of Rumpel's secrets was revealed to the audience. The audience understood why he had become like this. And the Rumpel-Belle couple had a lot of fans.

And in 2014, Robert first tried his hand as a director. He directed the feature film The Legend of Barney Thomson. It was created in the genre of black comedy. Carlisle took the lead role, Barney's hairdresser turned serial killer. This film stars Emma Thompson, Ray Winston and Tom Courtney. It premiered in the summer of 2015 at the Edinburgh Film Festival and was a success.

In the spring of 2016, in his native Scotland, the actor returned to the image of the psychopath Francis Begby. This role in the cult film Trainspotting 20 years ago brought Carlisle worldwide success. And in 2016 it was decided to shoot a sequel, which came out under the name "T2: Trainspotting".

On the set of the movie "The Cracker Method" in 1994, the artist met the charming make-up artist Anastasia Shirley. It turned out to be love at first sight and forever. The personal life of Robert Carlisle has since then been connected only with this woman.

Beloved in January 1997 became husband and wife. The couple had three children: sons Harvey and Percy Joseph and daughter Ava. The family lives in the hometown of the star actor - Glasgow.

Robert is a fan of the Scottish football club Rangers.

In 2006, the artist's beloved father passed away. At that moment, Carlisle stopped public activities for some time and left the film "True North", in which he was involved in the title role.

The artist is watched by thousands of readers on the social network "Twitter". There, the actor regularly tweets records. Once on the microblog, Rob admitted that before joining the acting profession he dreamed of a football career.

Fans of the celebrity have created a fan profile on Instagram, where they post photos of their favorite stars found on the Internet.

In January 2017, T2: Trainspotting premiered. In this part, Robert's hero appeared in a different light. Now viewers have seen that Francis Begby can experience other emotions in addition to rage.

The sequel was warmly received by critics, and Robert Carlisle hinted at the release of the third part of the film in an interview. And although some noted that the picture turned out to be not as beautiful as the first part, the sequel has the same frantic energy that was noted earlier in the previous picture.

The mini-series "War of the Worlds" is scheduled for December 2018. The artist is involved in the project in one of the main roles. The multi-part film tells about the growing horror that overtakes society after the invasion of aliens. Robert Carlisle will appear in the form of Oligvy, a scientist and astronomer. Ralph Spall, Eleanor Tomlinson and Rupert Graves became the artist's colleagues on the set.
