Jean-Paul Belmondo will celebrate his 88th birthday.

Jean-Paul Belmondo was 25 when he made his first appearance in a feature film, the film Sois belle et tais-toi released in 1958. At the time, the man had been married for six years to Élodie Constantin, a young dancer. From their love were born three children: Patricia, Florence and Paul Belmondo. Patricia, the oldest of the siblings, quickly followed in her father’s footsteps by becoming a scriptwriter. In 1994, when she was 40 years old, the latter died suddenly in a fire which destroyed her apartment in Paris. A drama that upset the Belmondo family.
