Until a few days ago Jean Dujardin was known in his own country as the new Jean-Paul Belmondo or the French equivalent to George Clooney. Now, since last Sunday, he has become a legend by becoming the first French male actor to win an academy award for Best Actor for his role of George Valentin in Michel Hazanavicius’ silent film The Artist.
What an amazing ride it has been for this actor who shot to fame in France in the late 1990’s, when he starred in one of the country’s most successful TV comedy sketch-shows, Un Gars et une Fille (A Guy and a Girl), with Alexandra Lamy, his future wife.
