Born Vincent Cassel November 23, 1966 in Paris. The family in which the baby was born was known, as Vincent's father was a famous actor of the Protestant faith - Jean-Pierre Cassel. The mother of the child also had interesting parents, since the father belonged to the Jews, and the mother was an extremely religious Christian from Corsica.
It is interesting that the boy's family was acting, but he, like his father, did not have the desire to follow this path. When the boy was 17 years old, he asked his father for a circus school.
Cinema and career - the beginning
After graduation, Vincent was supposed to become an acrobat. But instead of the arena, the young man chose the theatrical stages. In 1991 he got on set and took part in filming the film "Keys from Paradise". But this was only the beginning, because already in 1993, a long-time friend of Vincent invited him to shoot in the film "Metisca." This film was a band that lived in poor neighborhoods, so they had no rights to the future and were doomed to violate the law. It is also important that this film received a prize at the Cannes Film Festival (the best direction), as well as the César Award of the French Film Academy (category "Film of the Year"). After that, Vincent became the most popular actor among the young. He was also nicknamed the symbol of youth nihilism. After that, the actor tried himself in a variety of cinematographers. And the most important thing, he did everything perfectly well. For example, the role of the hero whose heart is broken (romantic melodrama) - "Apartment".

1999 - the actor played a role in the film "Jeanne D" Ark. "
In 2000, the actor took part in filming a mystical detective-action movie "Crimson River". But not all the success of the film, because of his plot had to cut a large number of scenes, including with Vincent. But despite this at the box office duo of the greatest actors received a rabid amount.
Still later, a film (mystical detective fighter) "The Brotherhood of the Wolf" was released. The film showed an investigation of the terrible and monstrous murders carried out by a monster, like a wolf - the Zhevodansky Beast.
For four years he did not give the film "Eleven Ocean's Friends" and after it a story line appeared, which was developed by George Nolfi. The film was called "Twelve Friends of the Ocean".

Later, the film "Enemy of the State" became especially popular, since only in the first five days of the rental a huge amount of money was collected. By the way, in the film the actor had to recover by 20 kilograms, and also did most of the tricks himself.
About personal
The actor has a beautiful wife who is also an actress, but not from France, but from Italy. And her name is Monica Bellucci. The acquaintance of Monica and Vincent took place during the filming of the melodrama "Apartment". Maybe that's why in Vincent's life the main role is the role of a loving husband and a caring father.
The most interesting thing is that the house of Vincent and the house of Monica are not that in different cities, but in different countries. That is, the actor's house in Paris, and the actress in London. The paradox of the whole situation, as the spouses say, helps them keep their feelings toned.
As a rule, in most of the pictures the acting family was shot together, but with the birth of the daughter of the Virgin this was abolished. Careful parents took turns to ensure that their daughter is not only under the supervision of nannies, but also with parents.

Love story
It is impossible to unequivocally describe the history of love Mo and Vincent, since there are a lot of versions in various editions.
It is clear only that the cinema has reduced them. And as it turned out, everything happened easily and even trite and very simple. Imagine that on the set you need to kiss, and also play candid scenes and not only. That's how people become lovers, it's a blessing that both actors were alone at the time. In the film, Kassel got the role of a man obsessed with the heroine of Monica, as happened in life.
But actors have their own realities. So, for example, Mo put Vincent before the fact that each of them will have a life and their partnership does not mean that it can be violated. That is, once the boundaries were established and, most importantly, for the actor, this was a new thing, because he had previously I did not hear this and did not expect to hear it. Kasselaporazilo that Mo at that time was nothing more than an Italian provincial and at the same time was not completely an actress, or a model, and so on. Despite all its unenviableness, Monica did not want to talk about serious relationships. So for a while Mo lived in Rome or her apartment in London, and the actor in Paris.
But Vincent and it is unstoppable, so he took an active part in the career of Bellucci and promoted it to the French market, after which the couple were often invited to take pictures. So for three years, a famous actor from a bohemian family tried to talk to Mo to marry him. But the accident, when the actor got into a car accident, changed everything. She told me that it was better to remain a widow than a mistress. She also said that the women are going black. That's the kind of black humor and the actress answered, when they began to ask the media. Even more interesting is that right after the wedding, both the bride and groom went home: the actor stayed in Paris, and Monica left for Rome. Of course, the audience instantly decided that their marriage guest and made the actors explain themselves. In response, a logical explanation followed. In this case, Mo said that she is not a follower of marriage bonds, so she is satisfied with such a life at a distance, which gives marriage many bargains. For example, they do not have time to quarrel, bother each other and their passion does not subside.
For a long time a couple tried to separate and when rumors of an imminent divorce reached the limit, Kassel and Bellucci announced that they were waiting for the firstborn.
When Monica turned 45, they said that they were waiting for the second child. Now in the interview, both Monica and Vincent have talked about the family, and not about the stellar plans, all the priorities and dads and mamypopomenals and their lives too. When Vincent was asked about what he would do for a few minutes before his death, he replied that he would have made love to his wife. And when asked how Monica got out of the postpartum depression, she answered that it was her husband's credit.
