Jean Dujardin. Just saying his name out loud makes you want to melt butter with his face. The French heart throb captivated me in The Monuments Men recently, and it's hard not to love him in any movie he's in. He slayed The Wolf of Wall Street, and he won the Oscar for Best Actor in The Artist.
What can't he do?
But let us look at the other incredible Jean Dujardin facts, so we could love him even more.
1. He is one of the five only French actors to ever win an Academy Award.
The other actors were Claudette Colbert for It Happened One Night (1934), Simone Signoret for Room at the Top (1959), Juliette Binoche for The English Patient (1996) and Marion Cotillard for La Vie en Rose (2007).
2. Look at that stupid beautiful smile of his.
Ugh I love it so much.
3. He began contemplating a career in acting while serving his mandatory military service.
Wikipedia didn't elaborate on this but it would have been so interesting for him to think about acting while he crawled under wire or ran 10k. Also, when Dujardin was 24 years old, he began writing and performing stand-up comedy sketches in bars in Paris.
4. He's a really hot tamale.
Like, super tres tres hot.
5. He was in this hilarious Funny or Die video about bouncing back after the high of winning an Oscar as a foreigner.
And yet he still lands himself memorable roles in great films after The Artist. Your fave can never.
