Sami Naseri is a famous French actor who became world famous for his role as an expressive driver Daniel Morales in 4 parts of the blockbuster Taxi. The artist turned out to be in many ways similar to his hero: the impulsiveness and emotionality of Sami allowed him to recreate such a convincing image on the screen that even today new faces appear in the circle of his fans.

The real name of the actor is Said, but he took a diminutive as a pseudonym, which he was called at home. Sami was born in Paris to a large family. His mother, Jacqueline Leroux, was a native French woman, and his father, Gilali Naseri, was an immigrant from Algeria. The boy has 6 brothers and sisters. One of the brothers, Larbi, under the pseudonym Bibi Naseri also became a famous film actor in France.

When Said was 7 years old, the family moved to Fontenay-sous-Bois, a suburb of the French capital. There, the boy went to school, which he never finished, leaving school at the age of 16. The reason was the difficult financial situation in the family, as well as the difficult character of the teenager, because of which he regularly had conflicts and troubles. Naseri started looking for part-time jobs and odd jobs.

In his youth, he was marginalized, constantly on the verge of breaking the law. From the age of 18 he began to use drugs, which ultimately led to a robbery of a store, detention and a court that sentenced the young man to 5 years in prison. Naseri served 4 years and was released early.

After Sami Naseri accidentally got into the extras of the comedy film Inspector Razinya in 1980, he set himself the goal of becoming a professional actor. But in his youth he was involved only in extras and episodes. The situation changed in 1994.

Sami first starred in the youth social television movie "Brothers: Red Roulette" about teenagers, where he perfectly portrays a guy from the suburbs, rolling downhill. The Arab origin also came in handy - the image turned out to be quite realistic. The actor claims that by and large he played himself, because his character even has a similar name - Sami.

A year later, director Toma Zhilu invites Naseri to his tragicomic film "Paradise". Here the actor again plays a socially incapable guy from the suburbs. The experience of the previous picture helped the artist even better convey the state of people who do not have their place in life. For his performance, Sami Naseri received his first career awards - the Golden Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival and the Paris Film Festival award.

After these films, the actor became famous in France. The turning point for the artist's creative biography was the "Taxi" tape, which was created in 1998. After the release of the action comedy movie, Naseri woke up famous.

The movie was shot by the famous French director Luc Besson, who already knew the actor: they collaborated on the set of the drama Leon, where Sami had the role of a policeman wearing a helmet in one of the last scenes, as well as when creating the video clip “Nés sous la même étoile "By the French group IAM.

Interestingly, experts gave a very cool assessment of Taxi, criticizing the stereotyped script, but the commercial success of the film was deafening. The public fell in love with a young taxi driver from Marseille, who cannot imagine life without prohibitive speed and super-powerful car engines. It seemed that each viewer necessarily had an acquaintance or friend, similar in his character traits to this thin tall guy (Sami's height is 183 cm, weight - 75 kg) driving a car.

The success of the tape immediately entailed 3 sequels, the names of which differed only in serial numbers. Such was the popularity of this film series that Hollywood and Bollywood film companies produced their own remakes. Sami Naseri for the first part of "Taxi" received the French film award "Cesar" as the best actor of the year.

From other works presented in his filmography, it is worth noting the war drama "Patriots" directed by Rashid Bushareb about the Second World War. Sami Naseri played Yassir, one of the 4 soldiers of the French army, who with the help of such a small team and at the cost of their own lives for a long time kept a small village in Alsace from being captured by fascist troops.

The painting showed discrimination in the French army in relation to military personnel of Algerian origin. For this role, Naseri received a silver award at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

In 2016, the actor appeared in the video for his own song "Une Seconde Chance". In the same year, the premiere of the Russian film "Rock and the Road", created by director Grigor Gyardushyan, took place. The French actor arrived in Russia for filming. Sami was fascinated by the country, so he soon started talking about a second citizenship: Naseri did not mind getting a Russian passport.

In February 2017, the premiere of the French comedy "Superalibi" took place, in which Naseri played a cameo role as a taxi driver. In May of the same year, the actor starred in a Russian advertisement for the PNK Group development company, whose business is related to industrial and warehouse real estate. Naseri appeared in the video in the famous image of Daniel from the films "Taxi".

In the story, the character showed clients a new building: the actor was driving a taxi and at the same time talking about the advantages of the design. At the end of the video, the taxi crashed into the wall, but the building was not damaged by the accident, and the employees in the next room did not even pay attention to the noise muffled by the walls.

Soon, together with his brother Bibi, Sami began work on the "Crab" project, which Naseri decided to shoot in Russia. The film was expected to feature Philippe Lelouch, Frederic Diphenthal and John Savage. While the film is in production.

With the advent of popularity, the actor's violent character began to make itself felt again. He regularly found himself in court for drunk driving, beating, insulting police officers and passers-by.

Sami Naseri was sentenced to imprisonment several times. In 2003, for beating the driver of another car, who did not let him pass on the road, the actor was deprived of his driver's license and received 6 months behind bars. After 2 years, the actor again went to jail for 2 months for beating up a visitor in his own restaurant.

In 2007, Naseri beat his guard, for which he received a one month probation, but after a year he still went to prison for six months for knocking down a woman while driving while intoxicated. In addition, for the last incident, the court sentenced him to a heavy fine and compulsory treatment for alcoholism.

For stabbing, he was once again imprisoned in 2011 and served 16 months. During this period, there were rumors about the death of the actor. The media reported that Sami Naseri cut his throat in prison. As it turned out later, the actor made an attempt to harm himself because of the cruel prison rules and the inhuman attitude of the guards, as Sami's relatives told the press.

The actor was safely released. The imprisonment did not cool his temper - he subsequently found himself in the dock several times for fights, connections with drug dealers, domestic violence and threats with cold weapons.

In May 2016, the actor got into the police again. At the 69th Cannes Film Festival, police detained the man's car, after which Sami Naseri presented his Ukrainian license. He lost his French driver's license a long time ago, after repeated violations of the traffic rules of his native country.

It is not known exactly where the actor has foreign rights. The police admit that the Ukrainian license may be fake, but lawyers note that foreigners can legally obtain a Ukrainian license by passing a driving test or presenting a driver's license of their country.

The actor spent several hours at the police station and paid a fine of € 10 thousand, after which he was released. Celebrity and festival representatives did not comment on the incident.

In the summer of 2018, while in Russia, Sami, along with his brother Bibi Naseri, was beaten in one of the karaoke bars in Moscow. A dispute with other guests of the club, Belarusians by nationality, arose because of the microphone. The injury that Naseri received was serious: Sami had to undergo surgery at the Helmholtz Institute of Eye Diseases. Later, the man's condition was monitored by specialists from the Russian Ministry of Health, including the chief ophthalmologist Vladimir Neroev.

The actor's personal life was not constant in his youth. Sami Naseri has had many fleeting romances and short relationships. In 1995 he had a son, Julian, who played with his father in the third part of Taxi.

In 2005, Sami married French actress Marie Guillard, according to one information in the media - after 3 years they broke up, according to another - they kept a relationship. Also, the actor was credited with a civil marriage with a young woman named Audrey, with whom he broke up in 2014.

Later, a member of "House-2" Yulia Belaya announced a romantic relationship with the French performer. The girl said that the relationship lasted 6 months, but the screen star himself did not confirm this information. But on the pages of the media were joint photos of the artist and the Russian plus-size model Yulia Rybakova, in which both behaved very liberally.

The actor maintains a verified account on Instagram. In front of subscribers, the star is not shy about grimacing in photos. In addition to his own photos, the actor uploads pictures of fans, posters of events of interest and screenshots of articles and news messages that he liked.

In 2017, Sami visited the studio of the entertainment show "Evening Urgant", where he talked with Ivan Urgant about his role in the film "Taxi", about how it influenced the life of Naseri. The artist mentioned that once in Yalta he had to become a guest of a competition for local taxi drivers: at the end of the event, Sami went to the main site to present the winners with prizes. The performer himself at the competition received a diploma of an honorary member of the Crimean trade union of taxi drivers.

Later, the actor said that he had completely revised his attitude to life, gave up bad habits and began to help teenagers who at one time became part of criminal structures.

In 2018, Sami tried his hand at a new role - the actor played in Valeria's video "Put this song again." The video was shot in Los Angeles, the finale was filmed in Moscow.

In the same year, he became an honorary member of the panel of judges of the Moscow International Film Festival. He headed the jury for short films. The event also showed a tape with the participation of Naseri himself - the Canadian drama "Identity".

And in May, Russian TV viewers saw another part of the Taxi franchise, in which Sami was not present for the first time. The artist refused to shoot, as his ideas about the film turned out to be different from the tasks that the director Frank Gastambid set for the actors.

In the summer of 2018, Naseri visited Yekaterinburg as part of the World Cup mobile park. The screen star was accompanied by his compatriot, FIFA legend, world champion - 1998 in the French national team Marcel Desailly.

Now Naseri is filming in several French projects. Sami is also involved in the movie "Gone Into the Mist", which appeared at the box office in 2019.
