The inimitable and brilliant Jacques Villeret was born in 1951 in the family of Frenchwoman Anna Bonin and Algerian Ahmet Boufrour. It so happened that his parents separated when Jacques was still an infant, and the boy spent most of his childhood in his uncle's family. After studying at the Tours Conservatory, Villeret moved from his hometown of Lone to Paris, where he became a student of the famous actor Louis Seigner, and from 1972 he began to take an active part in various theatrical productions, playing on the best stages in Paris, Lyon and Reims.
A year later, the world will see the first film with Jacques Villeret - a war drama directed by Yves Boisset RAS, although the actor will receive universal recognition only in 1976, immediately after the release of Claude Lelouch's film The Good and the Bad.
