French actor Jean Dujardin, born in 1972, is one of the most iconic figures in French cinema. First revealed to television audiences through the series Un gars, une fille, he made his mark on the big screen with Brice de Nice, OSS 117, and especially The Artist, which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2012. Since then, he has skillfully alternated between comedy, drama, and adventure, as seen in Le Retour du héros, Sur les chemins noirs (2023), and the series Zorro (2024). True to his roots, Jean Dujardin embodies a kind of cinema that is at once popular, sincere, and deeply human. This year, he returns with L’Homme qui rétrécit, an adventure film and a metaphysical reflection on fragility and self-perception, brought to life through the bold direction of Jan Kounen.
