Lambert Wilson Biography

Lambert Wilson is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on August 3, 1958 in Neuilly-Sur-Seine, Neuilly-Sur-Seine, France. Lambert Wilson (born 3 August 1958) is a French actor, singer and activist. He is best known internationally for his portrayal of The Merovingian in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.

In 1989, his performance as Abbé Pierre in the film Hiver 54, l’abbé Pierre, for which he received the Jean Gabin prize, won him critical accolades. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, however, his screen career suffered from a series of box office failures, such as The Possessed and El Dorado.

He later said that the French producers had come, at the time, to regard him as “box office poison”. He eventually won back the favours of French audiences by appearing in the successful comedies Same Old Song (1997) and Jet Set (2000).

Wilson was cast in the role of The Merovingian in The Matrix Reloaded (2002) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003), perhaps his best-known role in the American cinema. Being completely fluent in English, his strong French accent in the film is fabricated for the role. The role also popularised the Ediety tie knot, now commonly referred to as “The Merovingian”.

Wilson screen tested for The Living Daylights (1987) for the role of James Bond, appearing in test footage opposite Maryam d’Abo (the Bond girl in The Living Daylights) as Tatiana Romanova, re-enacting scenes from From Russia with Love (1963). Wilson was featured in a series of Calvin Klein ads featuring Christy Turlington for Eternity in 1991, as well as a poster ad, years later in 1998.

Wilson is the son of Georges Wilson, who was an actor, theatrical manager and director of the Théâtre National Populaire. As a teenager, he had little interest for the French theatre and aimed to become an “American actor” and appear in Hollywood pictures. He studied acting at the Drama Centre London to learn English. He played his first movie role in the 1977 American film Julia, directed by Fred Zinneman.

Five years later, he played his first starring role in another film by Zinneman, Five Days One Summer, opposite Sean Connery. But the film was not a commercial success, and neither was Sahara in which Wilson co-starred with Brooke Shields. Wilson ultimately found success in his home country : during the 1980s, he became popular with French audiences by appearing in successful films such as La Boum 2, The Public Woman and Rendez-vous. At the time, he was often cast either as tormented characters or in romantic parts, although he found himself more convincing in the former kind of roles.

Wilson released Musicals on the EMI label in 1989 (re-issued in 2004), with John McGlinn conducting Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo. It features him singing songs of the American Musical Theatre catalogue, those well-known (“Maria” from West Side Story, “There But For You Go I” from Lerner & Loewe’s Brigadoon, “The Cafe Song” from Les Misérables, “Johanna” from Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd), rare (“Love Song” from Kurt Weill and Alan Jay Lerner’s Love Life, “It Must Be So” from Leonard Bernstein’s Candide, and “Silly People”, which was cut from Sondheim’s A Little Night Music), and those in-between (“Finishing the Hat” from Sunday in the Park with George, “You Do Something to Me” from Cole Porter’s Fifty Million Frenchmen, “Never Will I Marry” from Frank Loesser’s Greenwillow).
