Wes Bentley

American actor Wes Bentley woke up famous after filming in the Oscar-winning film "American Beauty", but after the fame came the accompanying "side effects" - star fever and drug addiction. The artist found the courage to cope with the problems and continues to replenish the filmography with new works, and even documentaries were made based on his biography.

Wes was born in 1978 in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Both parents served in the Protestant church and raised four sons. The family is of English, Scottish and German roots. The boy became interested in acting back at school, having created, together with his brother and two friends, a creative ensemble, with which he performed at tournaments in recitation and prose readings.

В школьном театре Литтл-Рока Бентли был звездой, и мать настаивала, чтобы сын получил профессиональное актерское образование. Получив аттестат в 1996 году, парень поступил в престижную Джульярдскую школу в Нью-Йорке, где стал изучать драматическое искусство.

Здесь парень продержался всего год, болезненно реагируя на групповую критику, которая была частью программы. Для обретения спокойствия юноша стал постигать философию Дао, а студенческий опыт помог обрести уверенность в себе и получить первые роли. Поначалу Бентли проходил кастинги в бродвейские мюзиклы, а затем решил попробовать себя в кино.

The profession helped Wes to arrange his personal life - actress Jennifer Kwon became his first wife. The lovers got married in 2001, but 5 years later they stopped living together. The reason was drug problems, from which the artist suffered since the filming of "American Beauty". At first, Bentley hid the addiction, but this could not continue indefinitely.

The couple divorced only in 2009, and a year later the man married Jackie Swedberg, who worked as a producer. It was his wife who helped Wes to cope with the addiction, from which he got rid of in 12 stages. The family gave the artist hope for a new life, which at some point turned into a hopeless darkness for him. The birth of a son, Charles (2010) and a daughter, Brooklyn (2014), solidified the decision to never repeat the same mistakes.

The artist found the strength to share his problems in front of the camera, becoming the hero of the movie My Big Break, where he talked about substance abuse, arrests, unsuccessful attempts at rehabilitation and a happy ending. During his addiction, he ran out of credit by disrupting meetings and giving up filming. Now Bentley was able to restore his professional reputation and began to receive serious proposals from directors again.

In 1999, Bentley was just starting his acting career and immediately drew a lucky ticket, getting one of the main roles in the film "American Beauty". The film was a resounding success, and Wes received several professional awards for his work. This was followed by constant filming, including the superhero tape "Ghost Rider" (2007).

The actor's filmography includes "The Hunger Games" and "Interstellar", "The Survival Game" and "128 Beats Per Minute". In the latter, Zac Efron and Emily Ratajkowski became partners on the site.

Wes continues to appear in films and TV series, confirming the level of professional skill. In 2019, the historical drama "The Best Enemies" was released about the friendship of a black human rights activist and a representative of the Ku Klux Klan, where Bentley played the role of Floyd Kelly. The actor also continues filming in the Western series Yellowstone, which has been aired on the Paramount Network since 2018.

The artist does not maintain Instagram, and this function was taken over by fans who fill their fan accounts with photos of their favorite. Judging by the pictures, the man remains in good shape (with a height of 180 cm, weighs 72 kg).
