Jean Reno, the great French star of such films as Leon, aka The Professional, The Big Blue, Roseanna's
Grave, Les Visiteurs, Ronin, Nikita, Les Rivieres Pourpres, French Kiss, Wasabe, Godzilla and Mission Impossible.
Now, what can I say about this superb and wonderful French actor?, well, quite a lot really. I've
never been a one for daydreaming about anyone famous, until 1996, when I first laid on on the one and only Jean Reno. There
was instantly, for me, just something so charismatic about this wonderful man. He is handsome, he is very sexy, and he has
the most amazingly deep throaty voice.
Hopefully, this fan site about Jean Reno will be a fan site with a bit of a difference
to all the others on the net. This will be written with passion, with sentiment, and with a great deal of love and much admiration
on my mind. But I shall also be writing this in a very open and honest point of view, with sometimes, a critical look at the
films and some of the parts that Jean has got to play in his long film career, a career that has spanned nearly 30 years
now.
Although Jean Reno has rightfully made it to Hollywood with his acting abilities, I personally don't
think that the film makers in Hollywood appreciate Jean and his acting all that much. They always seem to typecast him
as a baddie, or put him in silly film parts, where he would be much more suited to the main role. I personally think that
is just because they only see him as a 'French' actor?.
Some Hollywood films that he made and was great in, was: Roseanna's grave, Ronin, French Kiss and
Godzilla. Godzilla would have been absolute crap without Jean, I certainly wouldn't have watched it if he hadn't of been in
it. The absolute best American film with him in though is 'Ronin', this is my absolute favourite of his many films, and they
actually done him justice in that one. I just adore him in 'Roseanna's grave/For Roseanna', this makes his acting ability
shine through a millionfold. I think he should have more roles like, Marcello.
Personally, I would love to see Jean playing the part of a Mexican bandit, remember the old Spaghetti
westerns like 'The good,the bad and the ugly'?, something like that would suit Jean fantastically. Me and another Jean Reno
fan I know, think that he should stick to our European films though, they treat, Jean, with the great admiration and respect
that he so rightfully deserves.
Although I am by no means fluent in French, I can read and understand enough of it to translate
all of Jean's french films into the English language.
This site is always being freshly updated..... Enjoy.
