Jean-Paul Belmondo (born 9 April 1933) is a French actor initially associated with the New Wave of the 1960s and one of the biggest French film stars of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. His best known credits include "Breathless" (1960) and "That Man from Rio" (1964).

Jean-Paul Belmondo was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Seine, now Hauts-de-Seine, west of Paris. As a boy he was more interested in sports than school, developing a particular interest in boxing and soccer.

Belmondo's acting career properly began in 1953, with two performances at Theatre de L'Atelier in Paris, Jean Anouilh's Medee and Georges Neveux's Zamore.
