- Jean-Pierre Léaud wurde am 28 Mai 1944 in Frankreich geboren. Er ist Schauspieler und Regieassistent, bekannt für Sie küßten und sie schlugen ihn (1959), Vertrag mit meinem Killer (1990) und Das Ehedomizil (1970).
- Often employed by directors as their screen alter-ego
- Often plays eccentric, usually penniless characters
- Often appears in experimental movies by new auteurs
- As he had so much respect for Marlon Brando and was afraid of working with him, all his scenes in Der letzte Tango in Paris (1972) were shot on Saturdays, when Brando refused to work. Thus, they didn't meet together during the entire shooting.
- He played the same part - Antoine Doinel- in five films: as young boy in Sie küßten und sie schlugen ihn (1959), as an adolescent in the "Antoine et Colette" segment of the anthology Liebe mit zwanzig (1962) and, together with the actress Claude Jade as his girlfriend, and later wife, Christine in Geraubte Küsse (1968), Das Ehedomizil (1970) and Liebe auf der Flucht (1979).
- His performance as Antoine Doinel in Sie küßten und sie schlugen ihn (1959) ("The 400 Blows") is ranked #98 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.
- In 1968, during the military dictatorship government in Brazil, as seen in the documentary Barra 68 - Sem Perder a Ternura (2001), Jean-Pierre Léaud, who was also a political militant, made a speech for hundreds of students at Brasília University, which is in Brazil's capital.
- In March 1966, Léaud won the Silver Bear for Best Actor at the 16th Berlin International Film Festival for his role in Jean-Luc Godard's Masculin, féminin.
- What I find great in his films, is the feeling of freedom, of truth, that feeling you get along with the camera. The precise intuition he has of the truth of tiny details. Sie küßten und sie schlugen ihn (1959), which I watch often, is full of details which give poetry to the movie.
