Louis Garrel
Born 14 June 1983 (1983-06-14) (age 26)
Paris, France

Louis Garrel (born 14 June 1983 in Paris) is a French actor. He is the son of Philippe Garrel and Brigitte Sy, a director and actress. His grandfather is Maurice Garrel and his godfather is actor Jean-Pierre Léaud, both of them also famous French actors.

Garrel is famous for his starring role in The Dreamers, directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, and for regularly appearing in films by French director Christophe Honoré, including Ma mère, Dans Paris, Les Chansons d'amour, La Belle personne and Non Ma Fille, Tu N'iras pas Danser.

Garrel is a graduate of the Paris Conservatory. He was awarded the 2006 César Award for Best Male Newcomer for his work in Les Amants réguliers, directed by his father and featuring his grandfather in a supporting role.

According to an interview with Michael Pitt in the New York Daily News, Garrel, just before shooting the first nude scene in The Dreamers, ran nude through every room on the set screaming. The prank broke the tension and "loosened everybody up."

Aside from his native French, Garrel speaks fluent English and Italian.

He is in a relationship with Valeria Bruni Tedeschi - the older sister of French First Lady Carla Bruni. Bruni Tedeschi has recently adopted an African baby1.
