Early Life
Luc was born on 18 March 1959 in Paris and spent most of his childhood traveling Europe with his parents. When he was 17, Besson had an accident that left him unable to dive. At 19, Besson moved to Hollywood to learn about American films. After that, he returned to Paris, formed a production company Les Films du Loup, but changed it to Les Films du Dauphin later.
Career
In 1983, he made his feature directorial debut with the grim sci-fi drama *Le Dernier Combat* / *The Last Battle* (1983). Luc Besson's second film was a funny crime drama named *Subway* (1985) (a cult classic film in France). The film was entirely based on the punks' and fringe dwellers' Paris metro lives. *The Bug Blue* (1988) is the third film of Luc, which was shot in English.
In 1990, Besson gave his biggest hit with *Nikita* (1990), starring Besson's then-wife, Anne Parillaud. The film later inspired a U.S. remake named *Point of No Return*, released in 1993. Besson's next feature film was *Leon* (1994), which hugely impacted the life of well-known actress Natalie Portman and made her a star overnight. Besson was nominated for Best Director and Best Picture César Awards for his film *Léon: The Professional* (1994).
Next, in 1997 Luc returned to the Sci-fi genre and made a great film named *The Fifth Element* (with Bruce Willis). The film was virtually breathtaking and mind-blowing for the audience. For *The Fifth Element* (1997), Besson won the Lumières Award and the César Award as best director. After directing the historical tale *Joan of Arc* (1999), Luc was again nominated for Best Picture César Awards. He recently wrote, produced, and directed *Anna* (2019).
Since the late 20th century, Besson has written and produced many action films. Besson's well-known action series is the *Taxi* series (1998-2017), the *Transporter* series (2002-2008), and *Kiss of the Dragon*, *Unleashed* with Jet Li. His English-language films *Taken*, *Taken 2*, and *Taken 3*, all co-written with Kamen and starring Liam Neeson, brought huge success.
Personal Life
