Sofia Boutella

Sofia Boutella is a sought-after actress and dancer.

She began her film career at the age of 30 (she got her first major role in 2012), but her track record includes popular works by famous directors, for example, "The Mummy", "Star Trek: Return", "Explosive Blonde" and others.

Unfortunately, Sofia's biography is shrouded in an aura of mystery: the girl told reporters little about her childhood and youth. The future actress, Algerian by nationality, was born on April 3, 1982 in the capital of the North African state, near the Bab el-Oued district. The girl grew up and was brought up in a creative environment, because her father Safi Boutella is a well-known jazz musician and dancer in her homeland. There is little information about the actress's mother, but, according to rumors, she worked as an architect.

A child at the age of 5 began to master the art of choreography. Her father had a great influence on her creative life. Safi instilled in his daughter a taste for music and directed her innate artistry in the right direction. In the house of Boutella, music was often played, among which were not only dance singles, but also ethnic songs, thanks to which little Sofia was instilled with love and memory for the culture of the African people. In 1992, the girl and her parents moved to France, where she continued to dance.

In the country of Cezanne and Parmesan, Sofia Boutella began to master rhythmic gymnastics, showing coaches the wonders of plasticity and dexterity, due to which she even managed to take second place in the French championship. When the future actress turned 17, her interests began to extend into hip-hop culture and street dancing. Together with her friends, Boutella danced on city venues and in shopping centers, while admiring passers-by forgot about their business and often stopped to watch impromptu performances of an energetic team.

A real start in the girl's career can be considered an acquaintance with choreographer and director Bianca Lee, who entrusted her ward with the role in the film "Super DJ" ("DJ: Le Defi", 2002). In 2005, the charismatic brunette got a taste of fame: she starred in an advertisement for the world famous sportswear and footwear manufacturer Nike ("Nike"). It is worth noting that the dancer came to the casting of the American company by accident, rather because of a sports interest: there was not even a thought in her head that in a year she would become the face of the brand.

However, the gifted Sophia was noticed by Jamie Keane (this young man is often called the star choreographer of MTV). The joint work of the two professionals resulted in the video "Nike Woman", in which a plastic girl dances a break dance to dynamic music sounding from huge speakers. It is not surprising that exotic-looking Boutella was noticed by famous pop singers: she performed on the same stage with Madonna (Sofia can be seen in the clip “Hung up & Sorry”), Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and other foreign pop stars.

The actress shared in an interview that when she worked with Madonna (for whom choreographers are superior to musicians), the popular singer gave her troupe the opportunity to realize their acting potential: before the performances, she came up with a fascinating plot, and her dance group had to interpret it with the help of body movements.

It is also known that in 2009 Sofia Boutella was supposed to perform in the group of Michael Jackson, however, due to Madonna's tour, the girl was not lucky enough to be on the same stage with the king of pop music. In 2011, Boutella starred in the video "Hollywood Tonight" in memory of the singer.

Before starting her film career, Sofia attended acting courses in Paris for two years. The first work in Boutella's filmography in front of the director's cameras did not bring much success: in the film Super DJ (2002), the Algerian played a far from the main role. In 2012, she was lucky enough to take part in the popular Street Dancing 2 franchise, which was modeled on the Step Up film series.

The plot of the picture is non-trivial: the ambitious handsome Ash (Falk Henschel) is eager to win the Street dance competition, so he dreams of becoming the leader of a troupe that will have no equal. The young man goes in search of band members to different parts of the world: the guy travels to Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Russia and France. But at one point he meets her - the energetic salsa dancer Eva, whom he falls in love with at first sight. However, winning this obstinate girl is not so easy.

After this picture, eminent directors began to increasingly invite Sofia Boutella to their films. So, in 2014 she appeared in the thriller "Monsters 2: The Dark Continent", and in 2015, a miniature actress 165 cm tall and weighing 55 kg starred in the big-budget action movie "Kingsman: The Secret Service".

In 2016, success awaits her again: she appeared in the 13th film of the famous Star Trek media franchise - "Star Trek: Infinity".

In this film, which tells about the space adventures of the crew of the ship "Enterprise", Sofia played the insidious alien Jayla. It is noteworthy that during filming, the girl spent about 4 hours a day in the make-up chair. The brilliant cast of this sci-fi movie also includes Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg and other famous movie stars.

Another premiere of the year is the thriller "Raid of the Tigers". The war crime film was produced with the participation of filmmakers from Ireland and the UK. The scene is the deserts of Africa and the Middle East. Two mercenaries need to go to Iraq to fulfill the order, but during the trip, plans collapse. Sofia Boutella appeared in the frame in the image of the eastern beauty Shadkha.

In 2017, director Alex Kurtzman delighted avid moviegoers with a remake of Stephen Sommers' cult film The Mummy. Starring Sophia Boutella, Annabelle Wallis, Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe, the film follows the ruthless daughter of the pharaoh, Amanet. The Egyptian woman was buried alive inside the sarcophagus.

After a group of archaeologists find the sinister tomb, the spirit of the Egyptian princess returns to the real world, leaving chaos and nightmare behind in order to get what is rightfully hers.

The personal life of the actress is a sealed secret, because she prefers not to talk about her relationship. At least in a 2012 interview, the dancer admitted that she is not married. By this time, there were already rumors about the separation of the beauty and rapper Matt Pokora, with whom she had a romantic relationship for 3 years.

In 2014, the artist began to be noticed in the company of the Irish actor Robert Sheehan. The artists themselves did not comment on these rumors, as well as plans for marriage and the birth of children. It is also known that Sofia considers Marlon Brando to be the ideal of male attractiveness.

Among other things, Sofia said that she leads a healthy lifestyle: the girl does not smoke, but chooses vegetables, fruits and cereals from food (with rare exceptions - meat). And if the artist prefers extravagant outfits for carpets and catwalks, then in ordinary life she appears in discreet clothes and often without makeup. Boutella has a personal stylist, Carla Welch, whose clients also include Olivia Wilde, Sarah Paulson, Michelle Monaghan and Ruth Negga. The girl becomes a regular guest of the first rank ceremonies. She is at the Oscars, the Met Gala.

Sofia remains close to her parents. As the girl explained in an interview, she received an impulse for an independent life at the age of 12. Then her father told her that Sofia can choose any path in life for herself, because she does not belong to either of the parents. These words still inspire the dancer.

Also, the fragile actress does not hesitate to participate in candid photo shoots, for example, her photo can be seen not only on Instagram, but also in Hugh Hefner's cult magazine Playboy, for which she starred in a swimsuit. And in 2017, pictures of the topless artist appeared on the pages of Malibu Magazine.

Since the mid-2000s, Sofia has not lived in Paris; she spends most of her time in Los Angeles.

In 2017, Boutella starred in the film Blasting Blonde by David Leitch. During the filming of this action movie, she worked on the same set with Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman and others. For the original plot and brilliant acting the film received high marks from critics. Boutella appeared on the screen in the secondary image of the beloved main character, who in the course of the narration dies at the hands of unknown people.

In 2018, HBO presented a dystopia based on the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, in which the main character was played by rising star Sofia Boutella. The film deals with the society of the future, in which the laws of totalitarianism operate. The main male characters on the screen were embodied by Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon.

Despite the fact that Sophia temporarily left her dance career, fully devoting herself to the art of cinema, the girl starred in a choreographic sketch for the video for the band "Thirty Seconds to Mars", whose frontman is Jared Leto. Michael Jackson's daughter Paris also appeared in the video for the song "Rescue Me".

In the summer, another premiere took place with the participation of the Algerian beauty - the crime thriller Hotel Artemis. And again, representatives of the society of the future become the heroes of the film.

In addition to Hollywood projects, Sofia gladly accepts offers from compatriots - the French. Now the film "Ecstasy" is being prepared for release, which was created at the intersection of genres - music, dance films and thrillers. Here Boutella has to embody his choreographic and dramatic talents on the screen. The world premiere is scheduled for early October 2018.
