Three years ago Jean Dujardin, 42, was the toast of the acting world – he was the FIRST French actor to win a Best Actor Oscar. The movie was a silent one – The >Artist. Ironically his character in the movie struggled when “talkies” replaced silent films, and sound turned out to be Dujardin’s problem in real life. Suddenly the handsome actor was bombarded with Hollywood scripts and he could barely speak or understand a word of English! What WAS he thinking? He should have been taking full time Berlitz English lessons! This was his big break! He’s been accurately described as the “French George Clooney” and could be a huge leading man in the US. He’s still a big deal in France but his Hollywood career has yet to take off. (Above, Jean is in New York checking his messages)

DREAMY JEAN DUJARDIN GOT A HOLLYWOOD AGENT

Hollywood talent agencies have been in a mad competitive scramble to sign up The Artist star Jean Dujardin and William Morris Endeavor was triumphant. 39 year old Dujardin (above, with costar Uggy) is well known as a comedian and actor in France and American women have taken notice of him since The Artist was released. His acting inspiration is Paul Newman, but he’s a guy who actually LOVES to dance and looks great in a tux. Now that WME has signed this lovable actor, they will have to rush him into English language classes because he can’t speak a word of English.
