Rupert Friend

Rupert Friend does not like to talk to the press, although journalists admit that he is a pleasant and polite interlocutor. Those who meet the actor on the street, may have the impression that he tries not to attract attention.

However, Rupert is sure that they become famous regardless of their own desire. A person can only control the depth of public penetration into the public.

Rupert William Anthony Friend was born on October 1, 1981, in the village of Stonesfield, Britain, to a well-to-do and respected family. Her mother, Caroline Friend, is a lawyer in charge of prosecuting at Turpin and Millar Solicitors, and her father, Nicholas Friend, worked as an art historian. Life in a small town was not very exciting, and like all boys of his age, Rupert often met in fights and almost all his free time on the street.

The Friend family did not have a VCR, they did not attend the cinema, and for a long time the boy did not even know about the existence of cinema. Rupert's first film was a film about the American archaeologist Indiana Jones, which he watched in the movies with his uncle.

Young Friend was a dream to travel the world and repeat the exploits of the idol, becoming an archaeologist. However, soon the guy discovered that not all archaeologists lead such an interesting way of life as the character of his favorite film. Then the future artist drew attention to the performer of the role of Indiana Jones Harrison Ford and lit up a new dream - to become an actor.

Rupert attended Marlborough Comprehensive School, which was located at a church in Woodstock. He also attended Sherwell High School and d'Overbroeck's College, Oxford.

After school, Rupert secretly applied from his family to Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London and enrolled. The young man had excellent external data (height 185 cm) and undoubted talent, so even the lack of experience and training did not become a barrier for him. The parents were not thrilled with their son's decision, as they considered the acting business a "risky business" and would have preferred Rupert to become a lawyer. By Frend's own admission, he started acting quite late.

In 2010, the actor made his first debut on the stage of the London theatre in Douglas Carter Bean's production of The Little Dog Laughed.

Frank's creative biography began while studying. In 2003, the young actor Rupert Friend, who at that time was still a student of the Academy, was invited to shoot the British-Australian project "Libertine", where the main role was played by the popular American actor Johnny Depp. The film was the debut for both Friend and the film's director Lawrence Dunmore.

The film was shown in theaters in November 2004. For his supporting role, Rupert was nominated for "Most Promising Debutant" and "Sputnik" award as "Outstanding New Talent". The film enjoyed incredible success, which also affected the popularity of the young actor.

Rupert actively attended film castings and was chosen to play Mr. George Wickham in the historical drama Pride and Prejudice, based on the jane Austen novel. Once again, the actor got into a full-length picture, which involved the stars of world cinema, including actress Keira Knightley. The film was released in 2005 and has been nominated for numerous awards, including the Academy Award.

In 2005, the American film "Mrs. Palfrey in Kleinmont" was released, where the actor got the main role in a pair with british actress Joan Plowright.

Two years later, Rupert was involved in the filming of the feature film The Last Legion, which tells the story of the times of the fall of Rome. In the film, the actor got a secondary role Demetrius, but the picture was not a great success. Despite this, it still brought success to the actor - Friend increasingly began to invite to U.S.-British projects.

In 2008, Friend made his debut as a screenwriter: along with a friend from the acting environment Tom Mison wrote the first screenplay for the short film "The Long and Sad Saga of Suicide Brothers". Rupert and Tom also starred in the film.

In 2009, the British actor appeared in two films in the form of key characters. In the British comedy "Sheri" directed by Stephen Frears Rupert played the main role - a spoiled young man Sheri, whose life is closely connected with the character of the legendary American actress Michelle Pfeiffer. The film was warmly received by critics and received three awards for music and costume design.

The second picture of 2009 "Young Victoria" told about the life of the young queen Victoria and her marriage to Prince Albert, played with brilliance by Friend.

In Lullaby for Pi, Rupert starred as a man after the death of his wife turned into a recluse. Seeing this situation, the owner of the house allegedly mixed up the keys, so that the apartment of the sad musician got a girl with a strange name Pi, and he shook with surprise. The picture, as the press wrote, is full of jaded cliches, stingily spelled out characters. But just such a film and want to see, sitting alone by the fireplace with a cup of tea.

The creator of "The Rock climber" and "Die Hard 2" Rennie Harlin presented his vision of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in 2008, shooting the military drama "5 Days in August." Friend played an American journalist who was saved by the Georgian military.

Andy Garcia acted as President Mikheil Saakashvili. A couple of days before the premiere, The New York Times published an article by human rights activist Anna Neistat, who called the film "extremely dangerous in the current geopolitical environment and lopsided".

In 2012, Rupert made his debut as an actor in an American television series, released in Russia under the name "Alien Among Their Own". Direct translation of the original name - "Homeland."

The artist attracted the attention of the directors, but this did not mean that the films with his participation were poured out of the horn of abundance. The process of making a film is not fast, so the cast of the 2016 blockbusters was manned long before Rupert announced himself as Agent 47. 2016 marked a lull in the actor's work.

In 2017, Friend played the role of Basil Stalin, the son of the leader of nations in a film called "Death of Stalin" directed by Armando Iannucci. The name may seem that the audience is waiting for a historical drama, but in fact the picture - an adaptation of French comics.

In Russia, the film, in the level of scandal equated to "Matilda" by Alexei Uchitel, was shown in a number of cinemas, despite the recall of the rental certificate. The public strongly condemned the work of British and French filmmakers for twisting the facts and insulting human dignity.

The woman agrees to fulfill the request of a friend, after which she disappears, and the heroine has no choice but to start her search. Friend played the husband of the missing girl.

Kira often told the press that she dreams of marriage and family, but Rupert was in no hurry to marry the star of British and American cinema. Soon the actress came to terms with this state of affairs and began her fast-paced career.

The relationship of the artists seemed so perfect and devoid of scandalous details that the announcement of the end of the romance between Kira and Rupert in late 2010 came as a shock to the public.

The actors parted suddenly, without visible problems and scandals, but they still had reasons to end the relationship. The initiator of the break was Knightley, who simply did not have enough time for privacy.

Also, a considerable reason for such a decision was the popularity of the actress and excessive publicity of the couple, which irritated Friend. Rupert is also rumoured to be very jealous of Knightley's pirates of the Caribbean, Orlando Bloom. Besides, men look like brothers.

When Kira invited the chosen one to a party with a film crew, Friend almost initiated a fight with Bloom.
