Vanessa Paradis: biography, personal life

Star Trek singer and actress

In 1989, Vanessa made her film debut, starting immediately with the leading role - in the film “White Wedding” directed by Jean-Claude Brissot. Vanessa immediately gained a reputation as a scandalous girl for her rather explicit scenes in the film. Film critics appreciated the talent and relaxedness of the aspiring actress; for her first role, Paradis received a Cesar Award.

But the spectators... The walls of the entrance where the girl lived were covered with insults, the neighbors spat on the floor in front of Vanessa’s door. The actress's younger sister had to change colleges to be left alone.

Such “fame” cooled Vanessa’s passion for cinema. And after a high-profile film debut, Vanessa continued to pursue music rather than filming. At this time, her albums were released: Variation Sur Le Même T'aime (1990), Vanessa Paradis (1992), Vanessa Paradis Live (1994). Paradis signed a contract with Chanel and began advertising the brand's perfumes and cosmetics.

Since 1995, Paradis began acting in films again, but the actress no longer agreed to perform erotic scenes. Together with Jean Reno, she appeared in a comedy called “Witchcraft Love,” and on the set of the film “One Chance for Two,” Paradis worked with such professionals as Jean-Paul Belmondo and Alain Delon.

In 2000, the album Bliss was released, in the recording of which Vanessa's lover Johnny Depp took part (he played along on guitar) and the couple's little daughter Lily Rose. Paradis never gave up her musical activity, even if she had to take a long break and devote more time to filming films. In 2007, she released another album, called Divinidylle.

Vanessa Chantal Paradis is a popular French singer, film actress, and fashion model.

This is one of the brightest women of modern France - she is refined, gentle, mysterious, talented; loved by millions of viewers around the world. Her compatriots lovingly call her “Little Angel.”

Vanessa is the winner of the national French Cesar Award and a number of other prestigious awards.

Vanessa Paradis family

Vanessa Paradis was born on December 22, 1972 in the family of director Henri Paradis. The family lived in the suburbs of Paris - Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. From the first years of her life, the girl was surrounded by creative people related to cinema. Her uncle, the famous actor Didier Payne, insisted that 7-year-old Vanessa take part in the filming of one of the TV shows, where she sang several of her favorite songs, for which the listeners gave the young singer sincere applause. This first childhood success inspired the girl, she decided to become a singer and began attending vocal and dance lessons.

At the age of fourteen, thanks to her beloved uncle Didier, Vanessa recorded the tender romantic song “Joe le Taxi”. This composition about taxi driver Joe became a real hit, entered the European charts, and today is still a popular classic composition. A year later, a fifteen-year-old girl recorded her first album, “M&J,” and a few months later this record became platinum.

The beginning of a film career

In 1989, seventeen-year-old Vanessa was seen by millions of viewers in the touching and expressive image of Mathilde Tessier in the film “White Wedding.” She instantly became famous throughout Europe. The actress's talent, beauty, naturalness and relaxedness brought her a Cesar Award for this role, but many spectators, after watching the film, started an ugly persecution of Paradis due to the abundance of explicit scenes. The walls of the entrance to the house where she lived were covered in writing, and her sister had to change her place of study. Because of this “popularity,” Vanessa’s desire to act in films disappeared, and she returned to the stage again. The appearance of three new records brought the singer to a new wave of popularity and again made her a French favorite. At the same time, the girl became the “face” of Chanel cosmetics.

Filmography

Since 1995, the actress has been acting again, a new role is young Morgana in “Witchcraft Love”, where actor Jean Reno became her filming partner. In One Chance for Two (1998) she played alongside stars Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo. The image of Adele from the film “The Girl on the Bridge” (1999), in which Vanessa’s partner was Daniel Auteuil, once again emphasized the versatility of the actress’s talent.

Vanessa Paradis's filmography is still small - only about 20 films, and this is only because in the life of the actress, periods of work in cinema alternate with musical creativity. And she gives herself entirely to each of this passion.

In recent years, the actress has starred in several films, released two new albums, and lent her voice to French cartoons. She is still in demand in cinema and is considered one of the most popular singers in France.

Personal life of Vanessa Paradis

For more than 14 years, Vanessa lived in a civil marriage with film actor Johnny Depp. They have two children: daughter Lily-Rose and son Jack. In the summer of 2012, the star couple officially broke up. The press reported that Vanessa's new love was millionaire Guy-David Garbi, but their relationship did not work out. Currently, the French singer and actress is often seen with singer Benjamin Biolet. However, Depp often meets with his children and ex-lover.

Personal life of Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Paradis hid their romance with Johnny Depp. Five paparazzi tried to find out why the actress flies overseas so often and to whom? However, not a single rumor leaked to the press. The couple opened up when Paradis found herself in a position.

The young people met in 1992, when Vanessa came to Hollywood for work - to meet with producers. But the couple’s close relationship began a few years later in France, where Depp came to film “The Ninth Gate” by Roman Polanski.

At that time, Depp was dating Kate Moss, but the Frenchwoman’s angelic appearance did not leave the supermodel any chance. Depp was fascinated by Paradis' accent, her boyish figure and even the cast on her leg - the actress had a bad fall during filming. But the first thing that struck Depp was Vanessa's back, from which he could not take his eyes off. Before this, Johnny Depp changed lovers and girlfriends, was even divorced, and Vanessa was surrounded by fans, but they became the most durable and sincere couple in show business. They are completely different from each other, different countries, languages, hobbies. Depp moved to France with his wife so that their children could grow up away from the parties and temptations of Hollywood. The couple has been together for almost 20 years. Vanessa gave her husband a daughter, Lily Rose (1999), and a son, Jack (2002). “Only after starting a family did I realize that I wanted to live, breathe and take care of myself. Vanessa and the children are my only reality,” Depp told reporters.

But these turned out to be just words. After 14 years of marriage, Vanessa and Johnny separated in June 2012. As it turned out, Vanessa’s lover started an affair with actress Amber Heard, who starred with him in the film “The Rum Diary.” A little later, rumors appeared that Johnny was making attempts to make peace with Vanessa, but the reunion had not yet happened.

After breaking up with Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis began a relationship with the owner of the furniture company Usinedeco, Guy-David Garbi. However, their romance lasted only a few months.

In the fall of 2012, it became known that the actress had a new lover - singer Benjamin Biolet, who had previously dated the wife of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Carla Bruni. The couple's relationship lasted about two years. In July 2015, Vanessa and Nicolas broke up.

The wedding ceremony of 35-year-old Vanessa Paradis
and 45-year-old
Johnny Depp
. A year ago they didn’t even want to think about getting married. But everything changed overnight - the couple was pushed to make an important decision by the serious illness of their nine-year-old daughter Lily-Rose. “We previously thought that there was no need to legitimize our union, but now, after Lily-Rose’s illness, we decided that although we love each other, we still shouldn’t neglect the formalities and anger God,” Sim magazine quotes the couple. It's getting close to the wedding. But before, Vanessa dated older men twice, or even three times.

The first man to influence Vanessa’s fate was the famous composer Frank Langolff.

On May 3, 1980, 7-year-old Vanessa Paradis made her debut in the television competition for young talents L'eґcole des fans with the song Emilie Jolie.
This competition was organized by her uncle, producer Didier Pen
.
The girl was noticed by the famous composer Frank Langolff: “If you write a few frivolous songs for her and dress her openly, then men will lose their heads!”
In the summer of 1986, 14-year-old Vanessa performed his song Joe le taxi and became famous throughout Europe. At the Cannes music festival, a girl went on stage to receive the Golden Disc in a provocative miniskirt and was booed by the audience.

Half of France applauded the daring schoolgirl, while the other part of the country was indignant. On the walls of Vanessa's house there were inscriptions: "slut" and "little trash." Then she cried bitterly, but now she says: “I didn’t deserve this. You can’t hate a 14-year-old girl so much just because she sang a song!”

At the age of 16, Vanessa challenged society, which so disliked her, by running away to the 26-year-old singer, playboy and brawler
Florent Pagny
.
The girl publicly announced that she was leaving her parents’ home and starting to lead an independent life. She immediately confronted Florent with the fact that she was not going to marry him and generally advocated free love. Very soon she came across a more interesting option, which Vanessa did not fail to take advantage of. A short affair with film producer Alain Sard
– and Paradis gets a role in the film “White Wedding”.
For her first film work, she received the Cesar Award for Best Emerging Actress and the Romy Schneider Prize (“Most Promising Debut”). And the abandoned and unhappy Florent Pagny wrote a touching song “Kill me” (Tue-Moi) ... On March 3, 1990, at the Cesar Award, Vanessa performed Serge Gainsbourg’s
La javanaise. The 62-year-old singer was in the hall at the time and was so impressed by Vanessa’s talent that he decided to write several new songs for her. Paradis reminded Serge of Brigitte Bardot, with whom he once had an affair. He did not hide his love, giving her the nickname Lolita the schoolgirl, but Paradis denied everything, claiming that although they spend the day together, they are connected exclusively by friendship and joint work. The public didn't believe them.

In 1990, with the participation of Gainsbourg, Vanessa’s second album Variations sur le meme t»aime (“Variations on the same theme “I love you.” - sim) was released, which was a huge success. Paradis was named best French singer of the year.

It is unknown how the relationship between the aging womanizer and the young nymphet would have developed further, but on March 2, 1991, Gainsbourg died of a heart attack. Vanessa still grieves for him: “I pray for him.”

Vanessa met
Leni Kravitz
in May 1991, when friends invited her to his performance. After the concert, she ran into the singer’s dressing room, and he left her his phone number. Vanessa called two weeks later. “I was almost sure that he wouldn’t remember me,” says Paradis. “But as soon as he heard my voice, he immediately exclaimed: “Vanessa!” Have you got any problems? Of course, come, I will be very glad.”

The girl lived in New York for six months. Away from the unhealthy attention of the French press, she enjoyed life for the first time in a long time. Following Gainsbourg, Kravitz wrote and produced her album Vanessa Paradis, which was released in 1992.

Paradis again assured everyone around them that they had a purely friendly and professional relationship: “We both love Lennon, Hendrix, Bob Marley and the hippie era.” But in the last song of the new album, she openly confessed her love for a black musician. But French criticism did not appreciate the new creation of Paradis and Kravitz.

And then the ambitious Vanessa became interested in music video director
Julien Rocher
, who helped her get an invitation from Chanel: Paradis received $300,000 for filming an advertisement for Coco perfume.

By the way, it was in Kravitz’s studio that Vanessa once saw Johnny Depp: “Johnny amazed me! Since then, thoughts about him have never left me.”

It was love at first sight! In the summer of 1998, the film crew of the film “The Ninth Gate” arrived in Paris. After filming, Depp, who played the main role, entered the restaurant and his attention was attracted by the naked female back of a stranger in a vulgar dress. She turned around and asked: “Do you remember me?” It was Vanessa. That same day they spent the night in the same room, and three months later they began to live together.

Depp didn’t even mention marriage: “I will never marry anyone - that’s my principle. The very idea of being in the clutches of a woman, of becoming her pet animal, disgusts me.” Vanessa didn't insist. Only after ten years of marriage did the couple finally get ready to get legally married.

The relationship was already strong, but their daughter’s illness brought Johnny and Vanessa closer together. Both felt the need to formalize the marriage.

Well, Vanessa Paradis's last man is her son Jack Depp

...Three years after the birth of her daughter Lily-Rose Melody, on April 9, 2002, Vanessa gave birth to a son, who was named Jack John Christopher.

They say the boy was named after the American writer Jack Kerouac. According to another version, Johnny gave his son the name of his favorite character, Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. But Spiegel magazine, citing the British newspaper The Star, claims that Depp named his son in honor of the London maniac Jack the Ripper. Allegedly, after filming the thriller “From Hell,” the actor was long impressed by the image of the serial killer his detective hero was looking for. TORnews.
