Olivier Martinez Biography

Olivier Martinez

Olivier Martinez
Born January 12, 1966 (1966-01-12) (age 43)
Paris, France

Olivier Martinez (born January 12, 1966) is a French film actor. He became known after roles in several French films, and has also appeared in Hollywood-produced features, including Unfaithful.

Contents

Early life

Martinez was born in Paris, France to a working-class family. His father was a Spanish professional boxer born in Morocco1 and his mother was a French secretary. He studied at the prestigious CNSAD and began his acting career in his native France in 1990, and quickly achieved a relative success. Martinez was raised Catholic.2

Career

In 1994, Martinez won a César Award as "Most Promising Actor" for his role in Un, Deux, Trois, Soleil, (1993). He first came to mainstream attention in Hollywood films with his performance opposite Diane Lane in Unfaithful (2002). He has since appeared in a television adaptation of The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone (2003), S.W.A.T. (2003) and Taking Lives (2004). He also starred as Gabriel in the 2007 movie adaptation of Blood and Chocolate, a popular book.

Personal life

Olivier Martinez had a three year long relationship with Australian singer Kylie Minogue that ended in 2007. Although he was quoted as having supported Minogue during her ordeal with breast cancer, there were numerous reports that he was cheating throughout the relationship with several women, including Michelle Rodriguez and Salma Hayek. He was linked with Israeli model and actress Sarai Givati3 and Penelope Cruz, leading to the break up with Minogue.

In February 2008, there was much media speculation about the relationship between Minogue and Martinez when they were seen together in Paris. Minogue was later quoted as saying "I had dinner with my ex-boyfriend and next thing I know there's a debate about whether we're having a family. We didn't even talk about that."

Olivier Martinez sued several websites for describing fictitious aspects of his private life. Three French websites, including the Digg-like Fuzz.fr were condemned for publishing a link towards another website where aspects of his private life were described. On its judgment of 27 March 2008, the court ordered the founder of Fuzz.fr to pay 1000 euros (despite Martinez having asked for more than 35k €). The tribunal indicated that the content of fuzz.fr was based on an editorial decision, even if it is a Digg-like content4. He is currently dating Spanish actress Goya Toledo.

He has a Rhodesian Ridgeback dog called Sheba who was credited as helping Minogue through her cancer battle. She often goes back to Paris just to walk her and spend time with her.
