On November 23, actor Vincent Cassel celebrates his birthday. This charismatic Frenchman has long been considered one of the sexiest representatives of cinema - not only French, but also Hollywood. However, some of his fellow countrymen can compete with him. Here is a list of the hottest French men.

Vincent is the son of the popular French actor Jean-Pierre Cassel. At the age of 17, he went to a circus school, which he successfully graduated from. He began his acting career in New York and then returned to France. In many ways, Kassel owes its fame to the director Mathieu Kassowitz, with whose name he quickly became inextricably linked. He played in his films "Hatred", "Crimson Rivers" and others.

Kassel's filmography includes more than 50 films, including Ocean's 12 and Irreversible. For his role in the film "Enemy of the State No. 1: The Legend" he received the highest French film award - the Cesar Prize.

The sultry actor was married to the equally sultry actress Monica Bellucci. In marriage, they had two daughters. However, the couple broke up this year.

Gaspard Ulliel

Gaspard Ulliel is still young, not yet 30, but he deservedly made it to our list. In addition, he is already one of the most popular French actors. He began acting in films since childhood, and having matured, he was noted primarily for his role in the film "The Long Engagement".

In 2002, he won the Cesar Award for Most Promising Newcomer for his role in Kiss Who You Want.

In his filmography, there are already about 30 roles in films of various genres - "Princess de Montpensier", "Hannibal: Ascent", "Paris, I love you." Next year the film "Saint Laurent" is due to be released, where he played the role of the designer Yves Saint Laurent.

Jean Dujardin

The greatest success came to this actor quite recently - in 2011, when he received an Oscar for the main role in the film "The Artist", but his filmography is not bad anyway. He played in over 30 tapes.

The first big role of Jean Dujardin was the participation in the TV series "Boy and Girl", which lasted 4 years.

Jean starred in different genres, but comedy brought him success - such that he was officially recognized as one of the best comedians in the country.

Among the outstanding works of the actor are such films as "Agent 117: Cairo - Spy's Nest", "Devil's Mobile Phone", "99 Francs".

Dujardin is happily married to actress Alexandra Lamy.

Olivier Martinez

Olivier Martinez was born into a Spanish and French family. His father was a boxer, which his son was very proud of and even boxed for a long time. Classes had to be stopped after a car accident.

Olivier learned the basics of acting at the Higher National Conservatory of Dramatic Art. Already in the first year of study, a talented student got a role in the film "The Island of Mastodons", which was shot by Yves Montand.

In 2002, his career in France had already taken shape (he even became the owner of Cesar), but he dropped everything and went to conquer America. Having starred in the film "Unfaithful", he achieved his goal.

Among the works of Martinez - "Taking lives", "Until night falls", "One, two, three … freeze."

In addition to his roles, Olivier Martinez was also known for novels - he met with Kylie Minogue, Michelle Rodriguez, Mira Sorvino, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. He is now married to actress Halle Berry.

Guillaume Canet

Guillaume Canet in his youth dreamed of becoming a jockey, as he grew up among horse breeders. But he fell off the horse and was injured, which prevented his dream from coming true. Therefore, he went to acting classes.

He began his career as a theater actor, but soon he was noticed by directors and called to the cinema. Guillaume did not refuse - he played in such films as "Happy Christmas", "Fall in love with me if you dare", "Just together", "Vidocq".

Canet also succeeded as a director, starting with commercials and later filming the films "Don't tell anyone" (he got "Cesar" for him), "Blood Ties", "Little Secrets" and others.

Guillaume Canet was married to actress Diane Kruger, now he is in a civil marriage with actress Marion Cotillard, in 2011 they had a son, Marcel.

Vincent Perez

Vincent Perez dreamed of becoming an artist or sculptor, but eventually chose acting and as a result, almost immediately gained wide popularity. Thanks to his appearance, Vincent quickly established himself in the role of a romantic hero, in which he appeared on the screens in the films "The Scent of Love Fanfan", "Fanfan Tulip", "Queen Margot".

The actor, however, has successfully proved himself in other genres - for example, in the thriller "Raven-2: City of Angels".

Peres played in several films by Russian directors - in Lungin's "Life Line" and in "Code of the Apocalypse" by Vadim Shmelev.

The actor is married to former model Karin Silla. They are raising 4 daughters.
