DETAILSPERSONNELS:

Bonjour! My name is Gaspard Ulliel and I am a french actor. I was born to a stylist father and a mother who produced runway shows. My dream has always been to direct a movie; I majored in cinema at the University of Saint-Denis after completing high school, but later went on to pursue a career in drama. The marking on my left cheek is not a dimple, as many belive, but rather a scar from a Doberman attack when I was young.

I am currently the face of Longchamp along with British model Kate Moss.

Mon Influence sur la Culture Francaise:

     I am an internationaly known French actor who has taken the film industry by storm. I first began appearing in French movies at the age of twelve, and worked on many televised sets with an agent who was a friend of my mothers. At the time, I was seen as a new young face emering into the entertainment business. Many films have seen me in them, and I have starred alongside many famous faces, including the renowen French actresses Audrey Tautou and Charlotte Rampling.

     The global success of my films has impacted French culture by internationalizing the industry. My first major English-language film was Hannibal Rising, part of the giant Hannibal movie franchise that stemmed from the American flick Silence of the Lambs. I have also been set to widen the spectrum of genres that French films provide - many of my favorite projects and directors are leading Independant (Indie) film producers such as Gus Van Sant. I have also recently finished filming the American movie The Vintner's Luck. Some of the nominations and awards I possess in my name include a César Award for Best Young Male Actor and a Lumiere Award for Most Promising Young Actor.

     Currently, I am the face of the fashion/accessories brand Longchamp with famed model Kate Moss. Longchamp is native to France, and I feel very privilged to be able to represent such a well-known label. Besides what I have already achieve, I am always looking to further my horizons and do the best that I can to enhance the world's view of modern-day France and it's entertainment industry. I hope that I have been a prominant figure in French culture and contributed to the formation of it's ideals and values.
