Biography
Early life
Lambert was born in Great Neck, New York. His father was a French diplomat in the United Nations. Lambert grew up in Geneva, Switzerland, where his family moved when he was two, before returning to Paris when he was 16. There Lambert was accepted to the acting program at the Paris Conservatoire. His feature acting debut was in the 1980 film The Telephone Bar.
Career
Director Hugh Hudson cast him in the title role of Greystoke - The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984). With Highlander (1986), starring as Connor MacLeod, Lambert received public attention. It is by far his most famous role. He appeared in all three sequels that were released in theaters — although he was not in the 2007 movie made for the Sci-Fi Channel — and had a cameo appearance in the pilot of the television series. Lambert got a César for Best Actor in 1986 for his role in Subway, directed by Luc Besson.1 In 1995, he won the role of the thunder god Raiden in a movie adaptation of the popular video game series Mortal Kombat. Lambert was interested of reprising his character in the sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. But he was committed to do his role in Beowulf, thus the role was given to James Remar. But as of early 2007, it was rumored he will reprise as Raiden in the reboot, Mortal Kombat: Devastation. The only confirmed casting for this movie is former castmate Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage). 23
Personal life
Lambert was married to Diane Lane from 1988 to 1994. Their daughter, Eleanor Jasmine, was born on September 5, 1993. After dating Alba Parietti in 1996, he married Jaimyse Haft in February 1999. He is presently dating Sophie Marceau with whom he appeared in La Disparue de Deauville.
Lambert has myopia and has great difficulty seeing without his glasses. Because he cannot wear contact lenses, he is often forced to act while virtually blind. This has led to injuries while performing his own stunts without glasses.4
Lambert is a close friend of Mario Van Peebles and Sean Connery. He has appeared in multiple films with both of them.
Winery
Along with owning a mineral water business and food processing plant, Lambert produces Côtes-du-Rhône wines with partner Eric Beaumard. The vineyard is located in Sainte-Cecile-Les-Vignes, France. The label, Les Garrigues de Beaumard-Lambert, tops out at 4,000 cases and is sold mostly in Europe. Beaumard has primary creative control of the winery, but Lambert conducts barrel tests and monitors the various stages of evolution. 5 Novus Vinum gave his vintage 1998 Les Garrigues a score of 13/20.
