Vincent Cassel is the new girl. The love story of Tina Kunaki and Vincent Cassel: the father’s panic, an expensive gift and other details

At first, no one could believe that this romance would last longer than a month: after all, 30 years of difference make themselves felt. But 51-year-old French artist Vincent Cassel and 21-year-old Italian top model Tina Kunaki proved to the whole world that age is just a number. After 2 years of relationship, and now, it seems, the rejuvenated Kassel is not at all afraid of the upcoming crisis of 55 years.

The romantic story of their acquaintance is generously flavored with gossip about the actor’s breakup with Monica Bellucci. Editorial "AWESOME" I decided to remember how the relationship between the hot couple developed and dispel popular myths. Hold 8 interesting facts about the most talked about novel of this year.

1. Cassel didn’t leave Monica because of Tina.

The Frenchman's 18-year marriage to the Italian film star burst loudly in 2013. Probably one of the reasons for the separation was Bellucci’s reluctance to move to Brazil, which her ex-husband was simply crazy about - so much so that he even became a capoeira master. WITH future wife the actor met only 2 years later.

Vincent Cassel - an actor of French origin who is quite in demand in Hollywood and has a very memorable appearance. However, the public is better known ex-wife Cassel Monica Bellucci than Vincent himself. How has the actor’s career developed all these years and what has he been doing since the divorce?

Vincent Cassel: photos, early years

Vincent was born in Paris on November 23. His father was the famous French actor Jean Cassel. In addition to Vincent, there was another child in the family - also a boy. The Cassel brothers were into hip-hop in their youth.

When asked by journalists what it was like to be the son of a celebrity, Vincent Cassel replied that he was never worried about his father’s status. On the contrary, his father’s knowledge came in handy when Vincent decided to plunge headlong into the acting profession.

However, the young man did not get to the set right away. He lived in good area Paris, went to the best school. And then I decided to enroll in circus school. But after a year of study, Cassel Jr. realized that “the circus is not his thing.”

After quitting his studies, Vincent went to New York and began his acting career there.

Vincent Cassel: filmography. First films

Cassel starred in his first film in 1991. He was already 25 years old. Then Vincent Cassel received a small role in the French film “The Keys of Paradise”.

A year later, Cassel appeared in the American TV series, as well as in the comedy “Hot Chocolate.”

Then there were a number of films unnoticed by critics, until Cassel received the main role in Kassovitz’s drama “Hate.” When the director invited the Frenchman to star in a film about teenagers in the suburbs of Paris, Cassel appreciated the film's script, but doubted that he could cope with the role of an angry Jewish boy who walks the streets of the ghetto with a pistol. However, Mathieu Kassovitz was adamant, and Cassel received his first starring role, for which he was awarded the Cesar Award.

The film “Irreversible” turned out to be quite scandalous, where Cassel starred with his wife, Monica Bellucci. In addition to the fact that his wife was raped at the very beginning of the film, director Gaspar Noe also asked the couple in the frame to have real sex. However, Cassel does not see anything strange in this and speaks about filming the film with his characteristic irony.

"Black swan"

Vincent Cassel often acts in Hollywood. He was a participant in the filming of “Joan of Arc” with Milla Jovovich in leading role, appeared in Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen as Francois Toulour.

One of the most striking works in the actor’s career is the role of choreographer Tom in Daren Aronofsky’s drama “Black Swan.” The film won an Oscar, and Cassel only strengthened its position in world cinema. In the story, he is a cruel and demanding director who decided to stage “Black Swan”. Without a shadow of regret, he rejects all the contenders and chooses the shy Nina. Nina is great at acting white swan, but the black swan games look inexpressive. Then Toma uses the whole range of psychological tricks to “pull” the necessary emotions out of the girl. Nina dances brilliantly at the premiere, but after that she goes crazy from psychological stress.

"Beauty and the Beast"

Which consists of quite diverse films, in 2014 he starred in the fantasy film “Beauty and the Beast”. Of course, he again got the role of the villain (the Beast). Cassel is no longer surprised that in Hollywood he is offered to play only negative characters. Vincent admits in an interview that he tries to work on the negative image entrusted to him so that he looks even more attractive than the positive hero.

In the new production of “Beauty and the Beast,” the role of Belle went to Léa Seydoux - another famous fairy tale. The director of the fairy tale was Christophe Hahn, who also directed the film “Silent Hill” and “The Book of the Dead.”

In addition to Seydoux and Cassel, the tale also stars Andre Dussollier (Amélie), Eduardo Noriega (Trans-Siberian Express) and Yvonne Catterfeld.

Personal life

Vincent Cassel, whose personal life, of course, worries the public, was married only once - to an actress of Italian origin, Monica Bellucci. In 2004, their first daughter was born, and in 2010, their second. The couple stayed together for thirteen years, but then separated.

Vincent admits that when he saw Monica for the first time, he could not help but fall in love with her. She reminded him of the heroines of Federico Fellini's cult films. After the wedding, the couple did not sit still: the stars lived in Italy, France, or Rio de Janeiro. However, there were times when Vincent and Monica existed separately from each other. But on film set married couple met more than once: “Irreversibility”, “Brotherhood of the Wolf” and so on.

It was strange marriage: It was difficult to understand what kept these two together. According to Cassel, Monica and he had different friends, they often lived in different countries, the tastes also did not match. It turns out that the actors just wanted to live together, and when interest in each other disappeared, they broke up. Now Monica is in no hurry to find a new boyfriend, and Kassel is still left alone.

Now 50-year-old Vincent Cassel is busy with several new projects and spends a lot of time filming and on business trips. And his 20-year-old girlfriend Tina Kunakey, apparently, does not like spending time alone at all. The model was recently spotted in New York in the company of ex-boyfriend Kendall Jenner - rapper A$AP Rocky. According to eyewitnesses, the rapper hugged Tina by the shoulders.

Vincent's fans decided that after two years of relationship, the actor and model broke up, but Cassel published a new photo with his lover on Instagram, thus denying rumors about Tina's new romance. However, there is a possibility that the French movie star is simply not against his girlfriend having affairs with other men. On its pages in social networks Tina regularly posts photos from meetings with male friends, and Cassel obviously doesn't care at all.

We didn't have a TV and we didn't go to the cinema. As a child, my interests were limited to school and football. Before we met, I had never heard anything about Vincent Cassel and didn’t know who he was until we were surrounded by paparazzi,” the model said in an interview.

He didn't leave Monica because of Tina

Vincent Cassel lived for 18 years with Italian film star Monica Bellucci. At the end of August 2013, the Italian news agency Ansa reported the breakup of one of the most beautiful couples European cinema (read: Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel: photos from a family album). Since 2013, Kassel has chosen to live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Cassel met Kunaki only in 2015.

Who is Kassel? Tina didn't know

Vincent met Tina in Ibiza while on vacation. Kunaki once said that at first she didn’t even think that her friend was famous actor. According to the girl, their acquaintance was almost no different from millions of others. “Two people in the same place at the same time who happen to be attracted to each other. This is one of those wonderful surprises that happen in life,” the girl explained.

Tina and Monica have a lot in common

Like Monica Bellucci, Tina grew up in Italy. Her father is a native of Morocco, her mother was born and raised in Sicily. As Kunaki says, her parents have been together for more than 25 years, and for her, her mother and father are ideal role model. “My mother is gentle, never screams, a real Italian mother. My father is strict, but he is the first one I turn to if I need advice.”

Like Bellucci, Kunaki began her modeling career and can now be seen on the pages of glossy magazines and fashion shows. It is possible that in the future the girl will try herself as an actress.

The couple announced their relationship on Instagram

That very first post on Instagram, where Vincent appeared next to Tina, August 1, 2016

Vincent showed that he is young at heart

A month before his 50th birthday (November 23, 2016), Cassel starred in a video clip for the song Cheveux Blancs by the young French rapper Black M. Vincent appeared as an elderly rebel with gray hair and a beard, who once again challenges society, and at the same time himself. “The personification of French carelessness, just as sexy, still La Cassel,” admired French columnists.

The couple's first joint appearance took place at the Victoria's Secret fashion show in Paris.

On November 30, 2016, Vincent and Tina walked together along the pink carpet of the famous Victoria's Secret fashion show in the Parisian Grand Palais. The eternal seducer officially announced his relationship. His look and the sly smile with which Vincent posed for photographers seemed to say: “You are still Are you going to ask me about a midlife crisis?”

Tina likes to post her candid photos on Insta. Vincent too

Tina collaborates with many fashion houses, including Dior. In February 2018, the girl published a photo for which she posed topless with the hashtag #DIORFORYOUTH. Fans are delighted, tabloids published photos under headlines like “Cassel’s beloved showed everything (almost).” Vincent is definitely not against such frankness (as confirmed by the comment on this photo: “I adore you, my friend”). Quite in the style of La Cassel.

In November 2017, the couple was separated by tabloids

In November, rumors of a breakup appeared. One of the secular observers noticed that the actor and model unfollowed each other on Instagram. After some time, Kunaki was noticed in New York in the company of rapper A$AP Rocky. The columnists' imagination ran wild. But it worked out. Later, observers recalled that Tina had known A$AP Rocky for a long time and a couple of years ago starred in one of his video clips.

Another post with the subtext “You can’t wait”

Kassel and Kunaki met in 2018 in Rio. And that was also the message

The couple celebrated New Year in Rio. This is where Kassel spends most of his time; for him, the capital of Brazil is, in fact, home. In honor of 2018, Tina published a spectacular romantic photo with your loved one on the beach. Any body language specialist will immediately say that Kassel’s hand on the girl’s hips is a message: “She is mine!” Well, after August 24, all questions about whose Tina it is can be safely removed. Now she is officially Madame Cassel.

New Year's message to all haters and sympathizers: "We are together."

Vincent confessed his love to Tina on Instagram

A new wave of discussions was generated by a joint selfie of Vincent Cassel and his beloved Tina Kunaki. The photo taken by the lovers at sea literally horrified fans of the actor and model. The couple was immediately hit with a barrage of criticism due to the seemingly emphasized age difference, which no filter could hide.

In the photo with his beloved, the actor, according to fans, looks much older than his age. WITH gray hair and beard, 50-year-old Cassel looks more like Tina's father than her boyfriend. However, there were those who appreciated the controversial image of the star.

“He’s so cool, I love him,” “Great couple! Don’t listen to what they tell you, be happy,” Kunaki’s followers commented on the selfie.

Now Tina Kunaki is actively compared to Monica Bellucci, because it was the famous Italian that her boyfriend was married to for 14 years. The girl herself builds modeling career, and it was for the sake of filming that she came to Cannes, where the famous festival is currently taking place. And everything would have been fine, but Bellucci took on the role of presenter of the film screening.

Fans of the actress immediately suggested that Kunaki was afraid of competition from one of the most beautiful women planets. A little later, the paparazzi photographed the girl in a black bikini, showing her unadorned figure.

The young model often posts joint photos with the actor, fueling numerous rumors about their whirlwind romance. Tina is also generous in her own photographs, in which she usually appears in a bikini. Fans of Bellucci note that the girl is indeed not without charm, but she is far from the aristocratic charm and unfading beauty of the Italian diva.

Despite the hype around the relationship ex-spouse, Monica Bellucci remains calm. At the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, she appeared in a sexy blue dress, in the best possible way demonstrating all the advantages of her figure. To further amaze the audience, she passionately kissed French actor Alex Lutz right on stage. This gesture was so unexpected that it instantly overshadowed all other events of the ceremony.

The actress recently confirmed that she is dating Gilles Lellouche. The chosen one is 8 years younger than Monica, but this difference seems insignificant compared to that observed in the Kassel-Kunaki couple. Ex-husband Bellucci is almost 30 years older than his current passion.

So far, Monica and Tina have not crossed paths on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, but this will probably happen. However, you shouldn’t expect a sensation: Bellucci managed to break up with her husband very quietly, maintaining an excellent relationship with him. She probably won't lose her composure this time either. Now the actress is completely absorbed in her work: the screening in Cannes is in full swing, and in 2017 several television series with the participation of the Italian will be released.
