Paul Bettany has everything an actor needs: willpower, extraordinary appearance and a tragic past. When he plays, he is given the role completely, without a trace, taking the images of his heroes as if from the depths of himself. He likes to portray complex characters and play in deep pictures. The actor himself believes that neurasthenia is a positive feature in his profession.
Paul Bettany was born on May 27, 1971 in London, England. The boy had a difficult character since childhood, and when he was 9 years old, his family moved to a small town, where he could not make friends with anyone. His only joy was his younger brother Matthew. When Paul was 16 and his brother was 8, he died after falling off a roof during a game. The family could not survive this tragedy: the parents divorced, and Bettany, tormented by guilt, moved back to live in London.
Paul entered the London Drama Center, and after graduating he worked in the Shakespeare troupe.
In 2000, the actor starred in the crime film “Gangster No. 1”, for which he received an award from the British Academy. He was noticed in Hollywood, and the next was the role of the narrator in the film “The Story of a Knight” (2001). This year was a stellar one for Bettany, as he played the role of a fictional neighbor in Mind Games and gained worldwide fame. Famous paintings with his participation were also:
"Dogville" (2003), The Da Vinci Code (2006), Origin (2009), Tourist (2010), Risk Limit (2011).
Paul Bettany is a good father and exemplary family man. On the set of “Game of Mind” he met actress Jennifer Connelly and married her. In 2003, they had a son, Stellan, with whom Paul sat for a year, as his mother participated in the filming. In 2011, there was another addition to the star family – daughter Agnes Lark. Bettany says he’s very happy and finally has the family he’s dreamed of all his life. /
