Autographed photo of actor Jean-Paul Belmondo

Jean-Paul Belmondo is a French theater and film actor, famous for his role as an immoral admirer of Humphrey Bogart in the film "On the Last Breath". He also starred in the films "The Monster", "The Professional", "Ace of Aces", "The Man from Rio", "One chance for two", "A woman is a woman", "Mad Pierrot" and others. In his first paintings, he created the image of a young rebel with an irresistible smile and became one of the favorite actors of European youth. He most often played characterful roles in comedies and action films.

Hollywood has adopted the Borsalino felt hat as a cult object since the 1930s, and Borsalino was best immortalized on screen in the characters of Jacques Deray's film, in particular, in the characters of Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo, perfectly embodying the myth of a gangster dandy with three-piece suits and double-breasted long coats. The hat becomes not just an accessory, but the most easily recognizable character trait. It's one of those movie wardrobe items that played an important role in the public's imagination.
