Mini-bio: The son of the renowned French sculptor Paul Belmondo, he studied at Conservatoire National Superieur d'Art Dramatique (CNSAD). After minor stage performances, he made his screen debut in "À pied, à ...( read more)cheval et en voiture" (1957) but the episodes with his participation were cut before release. However, the breakthrough role in Jean-Luc Godard's "À bout de souffle" (1960) made him one of the key figures in the French New Wave.

Since mid-60s he completely switched to commercial mainstream pictures and became a big comedy and action star in France. Following the example of Alain Delon, he founded his own production company Cerito named after his grandmother's maiden name. In 1989 he was awarded Cesar for his performance in "Itinéraire d'un enfant gâté" (1988).

Recently he returned to stage performing in the Theatre Marigny in Paris. He still appears in the movies but not so often as before, preferring mostly dramatic roles. The president of France distinguished him with order of Legion of Honour.
