Biography

Jean Reno, a renowned actor, was born Juan Moreno y Herrera-Jiménez in the vibrant city of Casablanca, Morocco, to a family of Spanish descent, specifically from the region of Andalucía. His parents, seeking better opportunities, relocated to North Africa, where his father worked as a linotypist. Reno's early life was marked by a sense of adventure and cultural diversity, which would later influence his acting career.

As a young man, Reno made the decision to settle in France, where he began to pursue his passion for drama. He honed his craft through extensive training in French television, theater, and film. His impressive credits in these mediums laid the foundation for his future success.

Reno's personal life has been marked by two marriages, both of which ended in divorce. However, he has been blessed with two children from each of these relationships. Despite the challenges he has faced, Reno remains a devoted father and a dedicated professional.

Today, Reno divides his time between his homes in Paris, the City of Light, and Los Angeles, the hub of the American film industry. His impressive career has taken him to the farthest reaches of the globe, and his versatility as an actor has earned him a reputation as one of the most respected and beloved performers of his generation.
